I am one of those who says Ci isnt the best solution for big project, because big project usually mean big team of worker out there.
The developpement process isnt just a question of how the framework is fast or efficient, money talk many time in this kind of situation.
This is true out of the box, but, at any time you can include ORM by yourself, use migration to track database change and progress, you can add Modular Extension to let people work on module totally separatly, you can make many things that some other framework claim to have built-in.
The enterprise level discussion can be very very emotional.
That being said, honestly, i prefer the ci way who let you add whatever you want, than force you to use what is there. But the framework grow each weeks, not you can take this framework to enterprise level easyly. If i go one year before, it wasnt the case so much.
Inparo got it totally right, but honestly at the moment, i don't see much application that Ci can't handle with the tools build by the community.
So to me Ci is totally perfect for big project if you know how to use it well.
Good luck with your choice.
