Theyre both quite similar and used for the same aim Laravel ORM: Eloquent Template Engine: Blade Lifecycle: Chain of Middleware Symfony ORM: Doctrine Template Engine: Twig Lifecycle: Events and Listeners chain
Advantages. Laravel Faster to learn and that can cover the majority of project requirements. Provides better learning materials. Fast growing and active community. Laravel is more suitable for creating applications quickly.
Advantages. Symfony Official certification, enterprise support with SensioLabs, has predictable release plans. Suitable for big/enterprise projects, due to biases in developers community (subjective), however Laravel could be easily used as well (Laravel in Enterprise: by Taylor Otwell and Jeffrey Way. http://www.laravelpodcast.com/episodes/c9a43eeb/episode-53-bigger-better)
