Easy to optimize for high performance and handle heavy traffic
Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours. Because I needed to optimize the Apache web server to run it as a high performer during my customers' usage, then I needed to reduce my Apache web server resource usage for that. So that part of the thing is what I was more interested in doing. So, I mainly liked the performance and security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The solution offers good security."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
 

Cons

"There isn't a dedicated customer support available"
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The apache software is free, open-source."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"It is an open-source solution."
"There is no licensing cost for the product."
"The price could be better."
