Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is flexible.""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's most valuable feature is user-friendliness.""We use Windows Server only for Eggplant Manager.""The product is scalable.""The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites.""The product is easy to configure.""The tool shows us the operating systems where our servers and applications are running."

"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers.""Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient.""Helps in efficient load distribution""The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments.""The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service.""In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server.""The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem.""It's a very stable solution."

Cons
"The solution's scalability needs improvement.""The solution should improve the cluster environment and load balancing.""The solution must improve the integration between its databases.""The tool needs to improve its performance.""The price of the solution could be less to improve.""The areas of this solution that need improvement are monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting.""If Microsoft IIS could work well with AppOptics or things like PHP, Python, and other custom languages that run on the webserver, it would be ideal. I think there are cases where people need to use Apache instead of IIS when IIS doesn't work well with other web languages.""The user interface could be improved."

More IIS Cons →

"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature.""The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files.""In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface.""Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic.""The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive.""In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually.""Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution.""Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
