Windows Server Reviews

Windows Server can be used for any kind of application. It is an operating system that supports enterprise applications. There is no application that doesn't go with Windows.

It could be more stable. Windows has certain problems that Unix platforms don't have. It requires more administrative effort as compared to Unix. I don't know why Microsoft has not changed that. It generates a lot of trash data, so slowly and steadily, you find more and more space being utilized. There is some kind of administrative load, which doesn't happen with Unix.

I have been using this solution for many years.

It is stable, but its stability can be better.

We have a maximum of 50 or 60 users. 

We didn't use their support much. 

It was very easy to install. The time period for installation depends on the complexity. If we want to simply install with the default option, it doesn't take much time. If you want to enable all of the service options that Windows provides, such as SNMP, it will take longer. If you have to install IAS and all such things, it will take time.

I would recommend this solution to others. We plan to keep using it.

I would rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We started virtualizing servers to reduce the number of physical servers and to optimize the data center. We started with standalone installations of the Hyper-V server and synchronized with our virtual machine. After that, we built a cluster and all of the VMs were hosted in that environment.

The organization spent a lot of money buying a large number of physical machines, which made up the workspace. With a physical machine, it is easy to incur damage with hardware faults, such as the loss of a disk or another component. With a cluster environment, we obtain an HA solution.

We like all of the features connected with sharing resources, typical of a Hyper-V cluster manager. Several of these further stand out, including:

• The ability to Hot Add resources to the VM.
• The ability to work on the physical server without disconnecting services.
  
• Provides workspaces for the entire organization with fewer resources.

One area that needs improvement is the management console. It seems very easy to use but it is not as powerful as those of other vendors, such as VMware. Their solution allows for operation in a more granular and simpler way. For example, there is a wizard to migrate a VM from one node to another, or from one datastore to another.

The solution integrates well with other platforms.

The solution could improve by making it more secure.

I have been using Windows Server for approximately 30 years.

The stability has been good.

We have approximately 100,000 customers.

The installation of the solution is becoming easier every year after new releases. The first installation can take an hour but you can use templates to make the installation very quick.

We have six to eight engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We are with Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider Program and we pay for a monthly license for this use of this solution and we support our customer subscriptions. The overall price of the solution is good.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We hosted servers on the solution. We installed programs and services on it such as Azure, an ERP product.

The solution is easy to use mostly but some features can be hard to understand for customers.

I have been using the solution for some time now and I have done so in the past year.

I would say Microsoft operating systems are more stable now than they were before, they have made some improvements over the years.

We have approximately 2000 users using the solution.

Windows server installation can be easy but it depends on what your needs are. If you built a huge platform, you can have some difficulties. On the other hand, if you use some simple build with, for example, services like IAS, it can be easily installed and you might be fine with the standard edition of Microsoft Server.

Microsoft has done a great job with Windows. Nothing is perfect, there is always going to be some issues with software at some point but when there are problems they are normally fixed easily. 

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We use Windows Server for sharing files and running applications, for example, Microsoft Exchange for correspondence.

The solution could improve by being more user-friendly.

I have been using Windows Server for approximately three months.

The newer version of this solution is highly stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 50 users using the solution.

I have not needed to use the support.

We use Ubuntu Linux for some servers.

The solution is straightforward to install and took approximately 30 minutes.

Our IT department did the implementation of the solution. We have a team of engineers and administrators that do the implementation and maintenance.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to run our applications and overall our day-to-day activities.

Windows Server is a good solution.

It is easy to use.

There is a need for improved security.

I have been using Windows Server for four or five years.

Windows Server is a stable solution.

Window Server is a scalable product.

We have approximately 400 users in our organization.

We have not contacted technical support. We are able to resolve issues.

We are also using the Linux Server.

It is easy to install Windows Server.

It took three to four hours to install.

We have a team of three engineers to complete the installation and maintain it.

Our licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

The product is primarily used for applications, data storage, and communications. We also use it for the directory.

The solution is very user-friendly. 

The scalability is very good.

You can deploy the solution either on the cloud or on-premises. 

The solution needs more integration capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for 15 years at this point. It's been well over a decade. I've used it for a long time. 

The scalability of the solution is good. It's not a problem to expand it. 

Likely the entire company is using the solution, however, I cannot speak to exact numbers that are on the solution right now. 

I've never been in touch with technical support in the past. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We did not previously use a different operating system.

I wasn't a part of the installation process. I can't speak to how straightforward or complex it was.

We have 12 to 15 team members that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. There are a manager, an admin, and engineers.

I don't handle the licensing costs. I don't have any visibility as to how much the company pays for licenses. 

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

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

I'd recommend using the solution to other companies.

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

I'm using the Windows Server to manage all the printers and all the additional hardware. I have a mini virtual server. We are customers of Windows and I'm a network system administrator.

The solution is very easy to configure.

I'd like an improvement in being able to separate all the services offered. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

I have some technical assistance if I need it, but it's not through Windows. 

The initial setup is very easy. You connect to the internet and it's easy. 

I rate this solution a seven out of 10.
