Straightforward implementation, reliable, and no license needed
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has been reliable."
  • "The price of the solution could be less to improve."

What is our primary use case?

We are using IIS for a web and application server.

What is most valuable?

The solution has been reliable.

What needs improvement?

The price of the solution could be less to improve.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using IIS for a long time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is no license needed to use the solution.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
