IIS Reviews

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 IIS for anything from the digital front doors to web-based applications for health care.

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

I have used it for so long, I don't think that I would improve anything about it.

It would be beneficial if you could automate security certificate monitoring with IIS.

I have been working with IIS for 20 years.

We are using the most recent version.

It's a solid product. There are alternatives, but they are all equal.

I would rate IIS an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our IT help desk interface.

All the features of Microsoft IIS are valuable.

The graphical user interface has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly.

The price of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for over ten years.

The solution is very stable.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

We have around 150 end users.

The initial setup is complex because we are not familiar with the steps required to deploy. Over time, once we become familiar with the process the setup becomes easier.

I give the price of the solution a five out of ten.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

I recommend Microsoft IIS to others.

I use IIS for issuing security certificates. For example, when I was trying to deploy direct access, it require a certificate which is issued from services. The service I used comes from IIS.

IIS is for large enterprises who would want to secure and make information private.

The documentation of IIS could be better. They are not easily accessible. I had to use YouTube and other online resources to learn how to use the solution properly.

I have been using IIS for approximately a couple of months.

IIS is stable.

I am the only one using this solution in my company.

The solution is scalable for large-sized companies.

I have not used the support from IIS.

I previously used Microsoft Active Directory. I started using IIS to see how can I deploy a secure certificate from my organization. Deploying certificates often require payment for various services. However, if you have a Windows Server, you can deploy it on-premises without having to go online. However, if you opt to avoid going online, you'll need to have an alternative process in place.

I rate IIS a five out of ten. The time it takes for the deployment depends on your resources. If your resources are optimized, it will not take too long. You must have some knowledge of how to deploy it before you do it. However, typically the deployment takes 10 to 20 minutes.

I did the deployment of the solution myself. Assistance would be useful for large enterprises for the department.

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

ISS is included if you purchase a Windows Server license, then you can have the possibility to deploy different services. 

I would not recommend this solution because there are easier-to-use solutions on the market.

I rate IIS a five out of ten.

Our primary use case for the solution is serving as a port for publishing URLs, especially for our share point team. Additionally, it helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment. In the world of cybersecurity, there are significant threats in the IT environment, so we have to mitigate all the HTTP URLs that you have in the environment HTTPS and to do so to secure these tunnels and to provide them with the certificate that you want. IIS also provides the option to secure or mitigate the vulnerabilities in your environment by using the safest protocol to avoid any vulnerabilities or scenarios. We deploy the solution on the premises.

The most valuable feature is controlling the ports you can use and denying the port you won't use in case anything goes wrong. This is one of the most outstanding features, especially for security.

The customer service and support team can be improved.

We have been using the solution for almost 40 years and currently have the latest version implemented.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable and not exclusive to the system administrator. Some teams, such as the network, SharePoint, and dev ops teams, interfere with this solution. However, it is one of the major features of the IIS.

There is a lack of support from the customer service and support team, and they are very slow. I rate them a five out of ten.

Neutral

From my experience, I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten, and the setup took approximately an hour.

We implemented the solution in-house, and one person was required for deployment.

We have seen a return on investment, for all the teams, especially for the security and SharePoint team. Most of the work's done through the server, especially the SharePoint team, and they publish all the websites they are using internally for the company. It's related to the employee and released to the business as a newsletter for the company. So, it's very helpful.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use IIS to deploy some of Opentext applications that we need to deploy.

The most valuable feature of IIS is it does not consume a lot of resources. It does not consume a lot of resources, such as memory.

IIS could improve by having some features related to URL rewrite, ARR (Application Request Routing) and HTTPS certificate generation.

I have been using IIS for approximately five years.

IIS is highly stable.

The scalability of IIS is good. It can be scaled easily using Cluster.

We have less than five people using the solution in my company.

I did not use the support from IIS.

We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package.

We are using this solution because it was recommended for us to use. It is a stable solution.

My advice to others is this is a simple-to-use solution and you can find items with ease. Microsoft has good support for its solutions. You can find the information you need from around the world because Microsoft solutions are widely used. If there are problems you can fix them easily from the support online, such as in forums.

I rate IIS a nine out of ten.

We are using IIS for many purposes, such as creating the application pools, and websites, and defining the HTTP rules.

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.

I have been using IIS for approximately eight years.

IIS is a stable solution for .NET applications.

The scalability of IIS is good. We can expand the solution if we choose.

We have approximately 30 to 40 people using the solution in my organization.

I was required to use the support from IIS a while ago when we were migrating from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.0.

I rate the support from IIS a five out of five.

Positive

The initial setup of IIS is easy. The process takes only five minutes.

We chose IIS because most of the applications we use are .NET and are Microsoft technologies that we are using for developing the application, IIS is the most valuable solution for this use case.

For first-time users of IIS, they should have some basic knowledge of what an application pool is, websites, and homepage redirections are.

I rate IIS a nine out of ten.

I use Windows Server IIS to publish our site for my Citrix applications.

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 have used Windows Server IIS for approximately three years.

Windows Server IIS is stable.

We have over 100 people using this solution in my organization.

I have contacted the support from Microsoft a few times. Depending on the issue we are having, the support in some cases takes a bit longer to get our point across for them to understand and then to receive a resolution that day.

I rate the support from Microsoft a four out of five.

I have not used another solution previously.

The initial setup of Windows Server IIS is complex. If you already have some experience it can be simple.

We have an external service provider that helps with the maintenance and monitoring of Windows Server IIS. We have internal personnel, but for anything that we can't figure out by ourselves, then we contact the service provider and external help desk.

The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much.

I rate Windows Server IIS an eight out of ten.

If I was using the newer version of Windows Server IIS I would rate it higher.
