IIS Reviews

1. It is Microsoft product that is easy to use and to host local and public websites. 2. Unfamiliar users can work on this product. No license required because it is integrated with the OS. 3. IIS has the ability to limit the bandwidth of your web pages. 4. If the application crashes then the server and other applications continue to run and the failed application restarts the next time with the request.

1. It is not compatible with other platforms due to limitations. 2. Users can not change the source code as per the requirements because source code is not editable. 3. Compatibility issue with other applications.

The primary use case of this solution is for infrastructure, Active Directory, infrastructure functionality, such as DHCP, and also, it's the main operating system for virtual machines.

What I like the most is that it is easy to use.

The price could be reduced.

In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment.

I have been working with this solution for twenty years.

The stability is better than it was in the past. It is better today than it was five years ago.

I am no longer involved in the technical areas anymore. Instead, I am a part of the trade sales team. In this role, I have contacted Microsoft for the commercial parts but not for support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It is deployed in all environments, on-premises and on the cloud.

The price of the cloud system is a bit high.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

• Clustering
• Application isolation

It needs a more compact configuration.

I've used it for one year.

No issues encountered.

It depends on the load of the server, but we have not had an issue.

No issues encountered.

Customer Service:

I've not used customer service.

Technical Support:

I've not used technical support.

We switched because of the nature of the application and technology.

I always design my systems simple and keep them simple as possible.

We implemented it with in-house team. We like to keep the knowledge in-house.

It was crucial and it definitely paid off.

Keep the systems simple. Try to work with open-source solutions and pay for technical support and subscription to support the projects.

Yes, I always and regularly evaluate. In case of Java we evaluated all applications servers which support JEE full profile.

I was using Apache Tomcat, JBoss AS (RedHat), WebMethods (Software AG) and IIS (Microsoft). All of them have they specialities, but depending on the goals and purpose it’s quiet easy to make a choice. Products based on Microsoft .NET do not give companies lot of options; either with Server Operating System shipped IIS, or the developer version called IIS Express. Applications written in Java, n opposite, can be accommodated on several fully profiled or non-fully-profiled application or web servers.

Only have one application per server if possible. Do not over complicate it, and keep the variance in the configuration simple as possible.

The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft. 

The solution is very robust.

The documentation is not very detailed. They need to improve it and add to it. They should ensure there are lots of visuals to help users better understand the solution.

I've been using the solution for five years.

In the previous version, scalability was a bit difficult, but with the latest version, a lot of improvements have been made. It's getting better.

We don't use technical support. We do find there is a lot of community support online if we need it.

The solution is easy to setup. It's very easy to comprehend.

We implement the solution ourselves on behalf of clients.

We use the current version of the solution and the on-premises deployment model. We're partners with Microsoft. We generally work with enterprise-level organizations.

I'd recommend the solution, but only to those organizations already using Microsoft.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

IIS in windows 2003 onwards has become more secure by allowing the users to choose only the required components / features to install thereby reducing the surface area. High performance and stability by isolating worker processes, application pools. Essential for products like Exchange and SharePoint. Comes with Windows OS, no separate licenses.

Can be difficult to set up for new users and complex to troubleshoot.

IIS is a reliable and secure product, works very well along side other components such as SQL and dotnet.

We primarily use the solution for the internet and opening applications. We use it, for example, to access Outlook on the web. We use it for a variety of Microsoft applications.

The solution is very stable. The solution is very simple and easy to use.

The level of technical support the solution offers could be improved.

I've been using the solution for one to two years.

The solution is stable, but they could improve on it a bit.

It's easy to scale the solution. We have about 200 users using it currently.

We've been in contact with technical support. They're okay, but they could be better in terms of the level of support they offer.

The solution was easy to set up. It only takes about one hour to deploy it.

We handled the deployment ourselves.

The pricing of the product could be improved.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

The solution is very easy to use and offers a quick deployment.

We've never had any issues with the solution, but it's still nice to have overall improvements on it. It could be easier and faster to use, for example.

I've been using the solution for a few years now.

The solution is stable.

We have around 80 users on the solution currently.

We've never had any issue that required us to reach out to support. We've been satisfied with the solution overall.

Overall, the deployment was very fast. It didn't take long to set up.
