## Reviews

### "Solid multi-page application framework" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *16 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use it for our multi-page SaaS application. Works well for this with a great ORM and acceptable templating language. Can also use the DRF (Django Rest Framework) if you wish to use it for a REST API backend.
> 
> **Cons**: As we have moved to a React single-page application, we decided against Django for the REST API are there are more modern options available. If you were to stay with Python you could also consider Flask.
> 
> Positive for our multi-page SaaS, but we have moved on to more modern stacks/frameworks for our SPAs.

### "Django\_Review" — 5.0/5

> **Constantin** | *04 November 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Django is a very useful Python web framework that excels in productivity, providing built-in features like automatic admin interface, authentication, and form handling. It is very good and a secure and efficient choice for web development.
> 
> **Cons**: Django's learning curve is a Calvary for beginners due to its complex structure and advanced concepts. Despite its performance, it may not be the best choice for applications requiring extreme performance, such as real-time apps. If the developers can work in this line, it will be perfect.

### "Django - The only framework more powerful than a Swiss Army Knife" — 5.0/5

> **Marc** | *28 October 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Django is one of the few, if not the only Python framework that is suitable for web applications.Django convinces through the integrated data and user management system, which is natively integrated.Equally impressive is the model-view-controller principle, which makes it possible to separate the frontend, the logic and the data management of a web application cleanly.Likewise, the plug-in system for the integration of applications and their functions enables extremely light and versatile design options.
> 
> **Cons**: Actually, there are no real problems with Django. The only problems from Django itself come from the rapid evolution of the surrounding environment. For example, Django is traditionally designed for relational- but not for NoSQL-based databases. Embedding graph-based data, e.g. in the context of social networks to link users or directly analyze data structures using Neo4j, remains quite tricky at the moment, although it is possible and the logical next step for Django to implement.
> 
> Overall, Django is a loyal companion that is clearly ahead of other frameworks such as Flask or Pyramid. Not only in terms of functionality, the modulatity through the plugin system, the native file and user management system (the list could go on endlessly at this point), but also the continuous development and the scope for customization impress in its entirety. For this reason, it can be confidently stated: "Django is the Swiss Pocket Knife among Python frameworks for web applications".

>

### "Default choice of web framework in the Python world" — 5.0/5

> **Jacek** | *08 April 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great balance of flexibility and structure. Enables to quickly create complex solutions. Excellent documentation. A lot of available material online. Easy to use ORM. Many great plugins.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the documentation is lagging behind. Some features are hidden in 3rd party libraries (especially regarding the forms - e.g. Widget Tweaks) and APIs (rest-toolkit) - they could be integrated in the core, or adopted by the Python Software Foundation.
> 
> Django is my default solution when it comes to building a Python web application which will use a database. It's very enjoyable to use, and enables to quickly produce a lot of value.
