IIS Reviews

We started using the solution for running web applications. We have custom applications that we develop for different customers. They are for case management, government statistics, and records. It depends on what we are running. We have run it for payment integrations in different types of platforms.

The product is easy to use. It might be easy because we've used it for long. When we use a product for a long time, it becomes second nature. We have never had any security breaches.

The user interface could be improved. We do not like it when the UI is changed often. Every time there is a change, we need to restart the server.

I have been using the solution for 15 to 20 years.

The product is completely stable.

We have not seen any issue with the scalability. We don't have very complex web services or web applications.

The setup is straightforward. We know how it works. The deployment can be done within hours. Many things depend on the applications. The solution can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise. We use the control panel of the console to deploy the product. The deployment process is similar for the cloud and on-premise versions. On the cloud, the only difference is that the server is not with us.

We deploy the tool in-house.

The return on investment is almost instantaneous on the cloud version. We use it when we need it. We do not pay anything upfront. There is no CapEx.

The product is cost-effective. We do not have to buy it. The tool is included with Windows. We license the Windows environment on a monthly basis. It is expensive. Sometimes, it is cheaper to run Linux than Windows.

I will recommend the tool to others. Whenever people ask us about web servers, we suggest that they use IIS. It is easy to use. We did not have many issues except when we occasionally had to restart the server. I encourage everyone to use the product. Our traffic is not as big. We have no issues with performance. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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

Compared to Linux, the solution’s Windows patching is slower. I would like to improve it.

I have been using the product for ten years. I use the tool’s latest version.

I would rate the solution’s stability a seven.

I would rate the tool’s scalability around six to seven out of ten. There are around 4000 users for the solution in our company.

The tool’s tech support is not excellent but good. They take too much time to solve an issue.

The tool’s initial setup is straightforward. The deployment can be completed within a day. I will hardly take seven to eight hours. However, the time will depend on how you are deploying it.

The tool’s deployment was done in-house.

The solution’s pricing is yearly. The pricing is affordable and not high.

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.

We use Windows Server only for Eggplant Manager. Otherwise, I'm not using it.

At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved.

I have been using it for a few years. 

The initial setup is complex. 

We have an in-house consultant. 

We have a license.

I cannot say it's not good. It is good, but not for me at the moment due to some operational problems I have.

Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten.

I use IIS to deploy applications for customers and end users who want to publish their application or domain and access the same globally. They have to deploy their application over IIS so that some, like Binding, MDIS, and other application security services, can be configured. 

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and easy to understand.

Some developing aspects like coding have to be improved in the solution. Presently, some developers do not have technical knowledge of managing IIS, so that needs to be improved in the next release.

I definitely want the core part to be differentiated from the technical part.

I have been using IIS for approximately four to five years.

It is a Microsoft feature so it is definitely a good and stable product.

It is a scalable product. Every product has scale-based technologies so if you are good at understanding new technologies and new features, and if you have an interest in the same, then you are definitely going to like it.

I have not been in a situation to contact the support team yet as the solution’s features are very reliable and expressive.

Positive

The initial setup was very easy. It took approximately 15-20 minutes.

There is no license required for the product as it is role-based. Whenever you go for a Windows platform server, the role has to be installed directly from the server manager.

There is no additional cost that has to be paid for that. It is free to use.

I give this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using IIS for a web and application server.

The solution has been reliable.

The price of the solution could be less to improve.

I have been using IIS for a long time.

The solution is stable.

IIS is a stable solution. However, we use load balancers when we want to scale.

The support from IIS is good compared to other vendors. However, the support is pooling over to the cloud reducing their support for on-premise.

I have used JBoss and open-source Tomcat. Depending on the use we will use a particular solution. For example, if we use .NET as a core, we will use IIS.

The implementation of IIS is straightforward. We do mostly MSI deployments but sometimes we do it manually.

If automation is used the deployment can be done quickly.

Depending on where we deploy the solution will determine if we use assistance. We use approximately two people for the deployment of the solution. However, The size of the service and the manner in which it is deployed or if it is automated will determine the number of people required for the deployment. Without utilizing such tools, as automation, additional personnel will be necessary. 

There is no license needed to use the solution.

The newer version of the solution works better.

We use two people for the maintenance of the solution.

I would recommend this solution. If the user is developing around .NET then this solution is needed.

I rate IIS an eight out of ten.

We use the platform for hosting Dynamics from our Microsoft Server.

The product is essential for hosting our ERP and managing our database, making it very important for the company.

The product's most valuable features are performance and security. 

The solution's pricing and stability need improvement. 

I have been using IIS for seven months. 

We have 57 IIS users in our organization. We use it regularly. I rate the platform's scalability a nine. 

Microsoft's support is responsive enough to our requirements.

The initial setup process is straightforward. The deployment of the Microsoft server was precise. We were able to install Windows efficiently.

We take help from a third-party vendor for product implementation. 

They offer a one-time payment model for the product license, and we pay annually for support.

I rate the pricing an eight out of ten. 

I would recommend the platform to others because of the integrated security features and the reliability of the server OS. 

Overall, I rate IIS a nine out of ten. 

The solution is used to install and run applications on the server. It's similar to web servers. We host our internal applications on it.

We can have full control of the server from the configuration to the OS. The product is flexible. It provides much more flexibility than the cloud.

The security must be improved.

I have been using the solution since 2003.

The tool is very stable.

The scalability depends on the hardware. We have five users in our organization. We will eventually increase the usage.

It is very easy to deploy the tool. It took us 20 minutes to deploy it. The deployment process is very easy. We just need to prepare the installation and run it on the server.

The solution can be deployed in-house. We do not need any assistance.

ROI is good.

We have moved to the cloud. We must assess the vulnerabilities of the server. Then, we must perform the server hardening procedure of Windows. The impact of the product on our strategies depends on our use cases. The performance depends on the hardware. Generally, the tool performs well. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My company is a reseller of cloud-based products, and we are using IIS for this.

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

The solution can be made more compatible. IIS also has some stability issues and needs restarting.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is mostly stable, but sometimes there are issues and needs a restart. I rate it eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Around 50 users are using it presently in our organization.

The initial setup was easy, and it took one week to be deployed. For deployment, first, we are planning, second, we are implementing on-premise, and third we are publishing the cloud. For maintenance, we need managers, admins, and engineers.

The solution is simple, and you can find the deployments everywhere. I rate it nine out of ten.
