Not only does it allow the creation of in-house application servers and websites but also acts as a proxy server for specific use cases

The initial setup of Apache Web Server is extremely straightforward. The solution's deployment process can be completed in a few minutes. The deployment process depends on how the application is designed. For example, if you are designing an application that only renders static web pages, then the design will be unique. If there is a digital library of books and people are reading books in such a library, then mostly a server like Apache Web Server will host the content of the books on the application server and since everybody is trying to use the library, some of the users will be concurrently reading the same book, in that case a caching server is needed to help in load balancing. For the aforementioned example on libraries, the Apache Web Server can be used for the FTP to allow users to download or upload files and perform session tracking.

Cons

"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."

"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."

"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."

"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."

"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."

"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."

"So far, for us, everything is okay."

"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."

More Apache Web Server cons

"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."

"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."

"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."

More WebLogic Suite cons

Overview

The Apache HTTP Server Project was founded in 1995 by a group of webmasters, known as The Apache Group, with the aim of developing robust, richly-featured, freely-available and commercial-standard Web (HTTP) server source code. The result was Apache Web Server or Apache HTTP Server, which is an open-source public-domain web server.

This collaborative project has been enhanced ever since with contributions from the core development team and other volunteers situated all over the globe. Also, hundreds of users of this open-source web server have contributed code, ideas, and documentation. The project falls under The Apache Software Foundation, which manages many open-source projects.
