PHP frameworks

We all know about frameworks, and they are not essential to a programmer's life. There are lots of frameworks, and each framework has its own superiority over other frameworks in some features. All frameworks are good, but what make a framework not suitable for an application are the application's requirements.

Let's say that we want to build an enterprise-level CRM application, which framework will suit us best? This is the most important, confusing, and time-wasting question. First, we need to know the complete requirements for the CRM application, usage capacity, features, data security, and performance.
