Cons

"The areas of this solution that need improvement are monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Occasionally, we encounter performance issues with IIS where it becomes unresponsive and requires a solution restart."
"Having no support for other than a Microsoft environment and programming languages limits the usage of IIS in many cases."
"IIS has some stability issues and needs restarting."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve its performance."
"Compared to Linux, the solution’s Windows patching is slower. I would like to improve it."
"Due to our business, some setups were very complex."
"External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement."
"Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution comes included with Windows Server."
"Users can get a subscription-based license or a perpetual license for IIS."
"The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much."
"There is no license needed to use the solution."
"IIS's pricing is not expensive."
"The cost for IIS is already included in Windows services. We don't have to pay anything extra."
"They offer a one-time payment model for the product license, and we pay annually for support."
"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."
"The cost of this solution is high."
"Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
"​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
