Windows Server Reviews

I mainly use this solution for running applications.

An improvement would be to have more dashboards.

I've been using this solution for over fifteen years.

Windows server is stable, having improved on previous versions.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.

We are using Windows Server as an operating system.

The solution is easy to use and it has good performance.

Windows Server can improve in patch management and security.

I have been using Windows Server for approximately three years.

Windows Server is stable.

We have not had any issues that we would need to contact the support.

Our in-house team of two technicians and one manager do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We have purchased a perpetual license to use the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server a nine out of ten.

We deploy our solution in Windows Server when our customers are working in Windows. So it depends on the customer's requirements.

Windows Server could always be more secure.

I've been working with Windows Server off and on for many years. I'm not an end-user, but my company deploys our product from time to time on Windows Server when our customers are using that environment. 

In my experience, Windows Server is pretty stable. Then again, I don't have much experience administrating that environment, so I can't really say. But, so far we haven't had any significant issues with Windows Server.

I think Microsoft support is probably pretty standard, but we haven't had any issues with the operating system that would require a ticket. Most of the time we use basic stuff for the operating system, so we're not facing any significant issues on that side.

Setting up Windows Server is pretty straightforward. It takes anywhere from a few hours to a day. One person can do it if it's not a complex environment. At our organization, it would only take a couple of technical experts. We have 100 plus specialists, consultants, and some field teams as well. 

We have a partnership, so we get all of the licensing through that.

I would rate Windows Server eight out of 10, but that's not an expert opinion. I don't specialize in that operating system.

I use the solution when I'm working from home. 

For our company the Terminal Service is a valuable feature. 

Rebooting is sometimes required to resolve certain issues, but we've never been able to determine the root cause. The problem gets solved but we'd like to know what causes it.

I have been using Windows Server for five years.

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup was straightforward.

I would recommend Windows Server to other users and rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It is very stable and easy to install.

Installation doesn't require a technical team.

Windows Server can be deployed anywhere, like on your desktop, laptop, cell phone, or on the cloud.

I would like Windows to come up lighter because the footprint itself can consume more than 300GB. It would probably take close to 100GB of space to install a Windows operating system because it has got so many features. It should be a core minimalistic addition, and users also should be allowed to add other features when needed. It should be more modular in nature.

The software should be minimalistic. Instead of offering so many options, it should be ideally the core system. Then, if a customer wants to have Active Directory, they should be allowed to do it separately.

There are hundreds of services which are running unnecessarily and slowing the system down or affecting the performance, and that wouldn't be there, which will be an advantage. It will only be the key services that the customer wants to run.

Microsoft technical support could be improved.

I've been dealing with this solution for more than 14 years.

You can deploy it anywhere, like on your desktop, laptop, cell phone, or on the cloud. I have mainly worked on-prem, but recently, I have had a few cloud instances for testing.

The Windows operating system is stable.

My experience with Microsoft technical support has been bad. Getting support from Microsoft is really tough, but if you have some skills around Microsoft, you can do the troubleshooting yourself.

It is easy to install.

It's very simple and doesn't require a technical team.

If you're buying an instance in the cloud, then you'll pay for it monthly. Otherwise, a normal purchase is always upfront; there is no subscription model with Microsoft, at least for the Windows Server licenses.

I would rate this solution at eight on a scale from one to ten.

The solution is basically an operating system for business. We use it for business purposes. that's it.

The performance of the solution is good.

It's very easy and user-friendly compared to any other operating system.

The stability has been good.

The scalability could be better.

I've been using the solution for the last five years or so. It's been a while at this point.

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. Even if we ran into trouble, we know we can rely on Microsoft to help us very quickly.

The scalability is limited. They could make it easier to expand.

I'm working with a startup and I would say there are about 50 people or so on the solution at this time. We don't have a big setup.

Likely, we plan to increase it in the future. By how much, I can't say.

Technical support is responsive. We know if we run into issues, they will respond quickly in order to help us resolve the issue. We are quite satisfied with their level of attentiveness. They are helpful.

We did not use a different solution before setting up this product.

I can't speak to the installation procedures. I've never participated in an initial setup and therefore cannot speak to the process or how easy or hard it was.

I can't speak to the maintenance requirements or how many people on staff look after the solution.

I'm not involved in the licensing aspect of the solution, I can't speak to the company's arrangement with Microsoft. I'm not sure how often we pay licensing fees or how much.

We are end-users and customers. 

We use multiple deployment models, including cloud and on-premises. 

I'm using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. It's worked well for us so far.

The most valuable feature of the solution is it works well overall.

I would like to see easier implementation and better customer service in the future.

I have beends using the solution for 20 years.

I have found the solution to be very reliable.

We have 18 people in our organization using the solution.

The customer service should be easier to access.

I was involved in the installation of the solution and it did go well. We have an HP Server and we are using Microsoft software, they clashed. It took months to get it to work well.

We used a consultant for the implementation and it took approximately six months to get everything working correctly.

We had to purchase the solution and also the licenses to go on each computer system.

We are going to continue using the solution until everything is on the cloud. I would not recommend it.

I rate Windows Server a five out of ten.

Windows Server is very easy to use.

The command-line interface should be improved. Using the command line is less-resource intensive so we use it sometimes. The additional RAM and CPU usage needed by the GUI is something that we were not used to after using Linux. When I switched to the command line, I found it more difficult than Linux.

I have been working with Windows Server for several years, since 2013.

Windows Server is a stable operating system and I haven't had any problems with it in that regard. For example, I had ransomware on my computer and even when I was logged in as an administrator, it did not affect the server.

I have not needed to contact the Microsoft technical support team.

I am currently learning about different Linux servers and I am finding it very difficult compared to Windows Server.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
