None of them! Each one has its own pitfall, each one exells in something and fails in many other fields. So, my advice to you is to invest time and effort and build your administration yourself.

To @iyadh's point, yes... no single "admin panel" is going to fit the needs of your project perfectly. Every scenario is different. However, there are SO many components of a admin/portal systems that are basically the same no matter what you are doing, and if your project is on the smaller side or you need to get something running quickly there's little reason not to use some sort of scaffolding to help you not have to reinvent the wheel.

FWIW, I used Laravel Boilerplate for a recent project that wasn't too opinionated on requirements and was glad I did. While not perfect, Boilerplate gave me a toolset of some standard things to work with so that I could jump in right away and start building the pieces specific to the needs of my project. Boilerplate is just one good package among quite a few others. Do your research and use what works best.

That being said, and again, depending on your requirements an admin panel / generator / starter kit / etc. may not be right for you. If your requirements can't be satisfied by something out of the box, you'll likely be better off building something more modularly from the ground up vs fighting with an existing system while trying to bend it to your will. Its also always best, regardless, to really understand what's going on and why things work how they do. However, that doesn't necessarily come at the exclusion of using a well-built admin panel in the proper scenario to keep from falling into the pitfall of reinventing the wheel and building everything from scratch because you can. The Laravel community is awesome and there are some really talented devs contributing great work to make other's lives a bit more enjoyable. When appropriate, take advantage of it!

@sajib007 There are number of Laravel admin templates in the market but only few which satisfies user needs. Even me searched for the best one before choosing a template, posted in many developer forums, luckily one guy referred me a product named Josh which is available on codecanyon. It's very economical for small investors which gives more user comfort with all the features and beautiful UI.

Here is the link of the URL where you can purchase the template. Good luck ahead!

I use the Orchid package, which adds CMS functionality to Laravel, which is good for websites.

You can see them here

@royduin how did you get on with the z-song admin? I've narrowed down to https://github.com/z-song/laravel-admin and http://labs.infyom.com/laravelgenerator/ - both look very well written, well documented and well thought out. They both install as packages, [can be configured to] keep themselves in their own areas rather than blatting all over your application space. Both also try their best to use "best of breed" packages to construct their functionality, rather than reinventing a dozen types of wheel (this is important - I like to know sub-systems are supported, can be fixed, are making use of extended learning curves of other projects, and can be forked/switched out if they every go bad).

The infyom labs version has an edge on reverse-engineering existing models and offering additional features as plugins, while the z-song admin seems overall a lot smoother to use, and may be easier to customise the resulting admin pages.

Do I flip a coin?

Backpack for Laravel isn't mentioned yet. I think it's one of the best laravel admin out there with lots of built in function compared to Voyager. For example bulk operations, filters, ajax datatables, export...

Just checked this package, wow! Thanks for sharing, this laravel admin looks amazing and seems completely free

I just checked it out. Some of the things are quite difficult to do such as the setting up relationships, adding media, if you guys can just make some simple video tutorials for people to watch, it is an admin panel most people will like to use

There's also Filament which is completely Open Source and technically free to use (though sponsoring is highly encouraged!)

Open-Admin I was a big fan of Laravel Admin for quite a while, really like the setup and the way the crud works. The downside is that i wanted to ditch jQuery, so i did. Now laravel admin is re-released as Open-admin. MIT License. I made quite the changes in the code and still looking for ways to improve. I implemented the new bootstrap 5 and removed all jQuery stuff. A few important plugins are already re-written for open-admin. Also i`m looking for people who wanne help making this thing bigger and better.
