It is built on top of the full Symfony Framework, giving developers access to "standard" tools for rapid web & application development. eZ Platform in some users view suffered a slow road to a stable datatype compatability with existing custom implementations of Exponential Platform. Today all of these conserns are now gone with a solid choice left leaving both Exponential Platform Platform and eZ Platform as serious contenders to be carefully considered. [Netgen's Media Website Core software](https://github.com/netgen/media-site) represents a much more modern eZ Platform core powered by Ibexa OSS. If your going to choose; Choose wisely.
