A simple and easy-to-use solution but not recommended for public apps

I would rate the overall solution a six out of ten. We have around five to six developers and engineers for the solution’s deployment and maintenance. You can use the solution if your website is not too big or complicated. However, if it is big and complicated, then you need to use Apache or Red Hat. This tool can be used for internal purposes. But if you plan to host a public app, then I wouldn’t recommend the tool.

Maintains top database performance and includes a very good ATB feature

Technical support is helpful. They have a good support bot for handling items so most case response times are fast. Support is aware and responsive but it takes time for them to resolve issues. Our whole enterprise is in the cloud and uses this application. It is a high priority to close any issues. We need an immediate response with resolution within two to three days. Support sends a lot of templates to fill in based on the priority or escalation. Completing templates takes time, particularly with the bot. The support process definitely needs improvement so technical support is rated a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."

"The product is flexible."

"The solution is simple and very easy to manage compared to Linux."

"Windows Server IIS is stable."

"The product is scalable."

"The most valuable feature of IIS is that it's free, and it works."

"It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment."

"It has an intuitive user interface and provides a lot of options for building reports."

More IIS pros

"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."

"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."

"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."

"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."

"The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications."

"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."

"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."

"The scalability is good."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

Cons

"The solution must improve the integration between its databases."

"The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies."

"IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view."

"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."

"I am using an older version of Windows Server IIS and the general management and navigation to get something done is not as straightforward as I hope it to be. The interface could be improved."

"I would like to see NLB features in IIS."

"IIS needs to improve its security. Its support needs to be faster and clear. The tool's licensing could be cheaper as well."

"We'd like future versions to be more stable."

More IIS cons

"The price could always be better."

"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed."

"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."

"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."

"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."

"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."

"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is included with Windows."

"I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."

"I didn't need to get an additional license for the solution since it was included in my server."

"I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."

"IIS's pricing is reasonable."

"The yearly licensing cost is very high. The solution is very expensive."

"The tool's pricing is on a yearly basis."

"The solution provides multiple licensing options."

More IIS pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."

"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."

"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."

"We pay annually for the solution."

"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."

"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
