Pros
"Apache Web Server is free of cost.""It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services.""It is scalable.""Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues.""The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly.""The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too.""The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions.""The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."

Cons
"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.""The interface has room for improvement.""The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management.""In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization.""Its stability could be better.""Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch.""I want the user interface to be more user-friendly.""Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."

"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly.""External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement.""Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations.""We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities.""Due to our business, some setups were very complex."

  • "​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
  • "Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
  • "The cost of this solution is high."

    Overview

    The Apache HTTP Server Project was founded in 1995 by a group of webmasters, known as The Apache Group, with the aim of developing robust, richly-featured, freely-available and commercial-standard Web (HTTP) server source code. The result was Apache Web Server or Apache HTTP Server, which is an open-source public-domain web server.

    This collaborative project has been enhanced ever since with contributions from the core development team and other volunteers situated all over the globe. Also, hundreds of users of this open-source web server have contributed code, ideas, and documentation. The project falls under The Apache Software Foundation, which manages many open-source projects.

With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables users - from employees and customers to partners and suppliers - to focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes. The technology and architecture of the portal ensures it is built for the enterprise, providing a secure and scalable environment.
