IIS Reviews

We are using IIS got Active Directory and DNS.

We are using six core hardware from Dell to run the solution.

The most valuable feature of IIS is the database it provides.

IIS could improve by Microsoft Windows improving the update services. We would like to be able to update all systems that are connected. The WSA service has to be in good order to accomplish this.

I have been using IIS for approximately nine years.

The solution is highly stable.

IIS is scalable.

We have approximately 75 servers using the solution. We have plans to increase our usage.

I have not used the support from the vendor for IIS.

The initial setup of IIS is simple and can be done within one hour.

We are using the solution virtually and we did the deployment. We have two or three people who deploy the solution.

There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate IIS a nine out of ten.

We are using IIS for many purposes, such as creating the application pools, and websites, and defining the HTTP rules.

IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view.

I have been using IIS for approximately eight years.

IIS is a stable solution for .NET applications.

The scalability of IIS is good. We can expand the solution if we choose.

We have approximately 30 to 40 people using the solution in my organization.

I was required to use the support from IIS a while ago when we were migrating from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.0.

I rate the support from IIS a five out of five.

Positive

The initial setup of IIS is easy. The process takes only five minutes.

We chose IIS because most of the applications we use are .NET and are Microsoft technologies that we are using for developing the application, IIS is the most valuable solution for this use case.

For first-time users of IIS, they should have some basic knowledge of what an application pool is, websites, and homepage redirections are.

I rate IIS a nine out of ten.

I use IIS for issuing security certificates. For example, when I was trying to deploy direct access, it require a certificate which is issued from services. The service I used comes from IIS.

IIS is for large enterprises who would want to secure and make information private.

The documentation of IIS could be better. They are not easily accessible. I had to use YouTube and other online resources to learn how to use the solution properly.

I have been using IIS for approximately a couple of months.

IIS is stable.

I am the only one using this solution in my company.

The solution is scalable for large-sized companies.

I have not used the support from IIS.

I previously used Microsoft Active Directory. I started using IIS to see how can I deploy a secure certificate from my organization. Deploying certificates often require payment for various services. However, if you have a Windows Server, you can deploy it on-premises without having to go online. However, if you opt to avoid going online, you'll need to have an alternative process in place.

I rate IIS a five out of ten. The time it takes for the deployment depends on your resources. If your resources are optimized, it will not take too long. You must have some knowledge of how to deploy it before you do it. However, typically the deployment takes 10 to 20 minutes.

I did the deployment of the solution myself. Assistance would be useful for large enterprises for the department.

I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines. 

ISS is included if you purchase a Windows Server license, then you can have the possibility to deploy different services. 

I would not recommend this solution because there are easier-to-use solutions on the market.

I rate IIS a five out of ten.

The solution is used to install and run applications on the server. It's similar to web servers. We host our internal applications on it.

We can have full control of the server from the configuration to the OS. The product is flexible. It provides much more flexibility than the cloud.

The security must be improved.

I have been using the solution since 2003.

The tool is very stable.

The scalability depends on the hardware. We have five users in our organization. We will eventually increase the usage.

It is very easy to deploy the tool. It took us 20 minutes to deploy it. The deployment process is very easy. We just need to prepare the installation and run it on the server.

The solution can be deployed in-house. We do not need any assistance.

ROI is good.

We have moved to the cloud. We must assess the vulnerabilities of the server. Then, we must perform the server hardening procedure of Windows. The impact of the product on our strategies depends on our use cases. The performance depends on the hardware. Generally, the tool performs well. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the product for our web applications.

The product is easy to configure. It has a lot of good features.

The solution must improve the integration between its databases. It should also improve the definition of IP addresses and ports for connection.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years.

I rate the tool’s stability more than eight out of ten.

Compared to other web application services, IIS has better scalability. We have many different programs. A part of our customers use the solution.

The initial setup is a little complex. Even if we make a little mistake, the configuration still works well.

We need three networking personnel to maintain the product.

We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution.

I look for network administration aspects in the product. A software person might have a different perspective. I did not configure the solution. My friends configured it. When my friends have a problem, I help them to solve it. IIS is related to software engineers and programmers. IIS is the best solution. Its services are better than other products. Overall, I rate the tool more than eight out of ten.

It is used for the REST service.

The tool is very easy and efficient.

In the next release, the tool should be more easily integrated and configured with other provisions. The pricing should also be made cheaper since it's very expensive now.

I have been using it for twenty years.

The tool is stable. 

The solution is a scalable product. My company has 1000 users for the tool. I have plans to increase the number of users.

Previously, we used Apache, Orache and Webinar Technologies.

The initial setup was easy.

The product was deployed through an in-house team.

The yearly licensing cost is very high. The solution is very expensive.

IIS is a very efficient and stable solution.

I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Regarding the use cases of IIS in our organization, we use it for our web-based in-house applications.

Feature-wise, I would say that it is easily configurable with the development tools of Microsoft.

It lacks a few performance improvement tools. So, performance improvement tools need to be included in the tool so that they can improve the product overall.

I have been using IIS for twenty years. Since I have used the solution for a long time, I can say that I have used all the versions.

IIS is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

IIS is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

While IIS is used directly by only five users, the applications are used by more than two hundred people. Also, we plan to increase the number of users using the solution in our organization.

Considering my experience with this solution, the initial setup for the solution was okay for me. In short, the initial setup was easy.

Even though I don't remember clearly, the time taken for the deployment process was not more than thirty minutes. Also, the deployment process is something which I can do by myself.

Regarding the steps involved in the deployment process, one has to install Windows Server and then add the components of IIS into it. After this process, one can configure the solution as per their requirements.

I didn't need to get an additional license for the solution since it was included in my server.

In our organization, since our development process required IIS only, we did not evaluate other options in the market.

I definitely recommend IIS to those planning to use it in the future. The deployment process for the solution is easy, and for help, one can refer to the documentation available for the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

IIS is useful for the deployment of web applications.

There aren't any particular features I found valuable since it is just used for deployment purposes.

Performance-wise, certain improvements in IIS are needed.

I have been using IIS for not more than a year now. I also sell IIS.

Its stability is good. People use it widely to host their on-premises applications, like, internal applications on IIS.

It is scalable if we include the application stack. IIS is not scalable. Its scalability is less. If we talk about its scalability with respect to the cloud, as we are seeing as of now, it's not that much scalable. We need to put some extra effort into making it scalable. Almost everyone who has a Windows server uses the solution for hosting their internal applications.

The solution's initial setup is a little complex, especially compared to what others provide. It is better than Apache.

If there are no issues, the solution's deployment can be done in an hour or two maximum. Two people are required for the deployment and maintenance of the solution. Also, it depends on the size of the infrastructure and the servers and everything. The requirement for the infrastructure is not that big. So two people are more than enough. One is the administrator, and the other one is the developer. But if there is a lot of development, then the people required for deployment and maintenance would depend on the size of the application.

The cost for IIS is already included in Windows services. We don't have to pay anything extra. We only pay for the Windows server.

I would tell those planning to use the solution depending on their requirement. If the requirement is for on-premises and in an isolated environment, then people install it on the server and start using it. But if the requirement is to go on the cloud and make the website public, then it is preferable to opt for the cloud.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
