| Deputy General Manager at SLT Visioncom Pvt Ltd | 3.5 | I find Windows Server 2025 strong for application hosting and cloud integration, valuing its comprehensive security and full Microsoft stack. However, high pricing is a significant drawback, pushing some customers to Linux. I rate it 7/10. |
Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages is mainly used by our client for application hosting.
I don't work extensively with the identity management part, but I do occasionally engage with it.
We work with Entra, which is the main use case we are using for the Active Directory part.
We are not currently using Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages for containerization support.
The impact of cloud integration on operational efficiency is significant, as many servers are now virtual servers or cloud servers, unlike previous days when we ran Microsoft Server editions on bare-metal servers. Currently, almost 100 percent is deployed on either virtualized platforms or cloud platforms such as Azure.
We have not calculated metrics for minimizing downtime, but with cloud platforms such as Azure, there are sometimes regional inaccessibilities, though availability is better compared to having bare-metal servers.
The biggest advantage of Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages depends on the application stack, because some customers use Microsoft stack, while others use Linux operating systems. However, customers who develop their applications on Microsoft stack choose Microsoft, and I think the majority is doing so.
What I appreciate about Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages is the full solution Microsoft provides, especially when it comes to the cloud part and security, with their Microsoft total solutions.
The security protocols that Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages has are a full stack. When it comes to the Microsoft full stack, they have Active Directory, the Defender part, and it can extend into Microsoft Sentinel, which represents the benefit Microsoft has.
The main disadvantage of Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages is pricing, as customers choose some Linux versions, which are open-source editions. There are some customers moving to open-source Linux editions because of the pricing, which is the main disadvantage, especially when it comes to SQL databases, as SQL is quite costly.
I think Microsoft might bring new licensing models to support different customer segments, such as enterprise and SMEs, primarily focused on cost. Bringing additional products in the operating system versions with current features would be beneficial.
The only drawback I see is connected with the license model and price. That is the only disadvantage, but everything else is acceptable.
I have been working with Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages since 2010.
If Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages is hardened perfectly, it is stable, but if it is not updated properly, then it will not be.
As for the scalability of Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages, I do not see any limitation. It all depends on what to host on these servers and whether to deploy on a single instance, multi-instance, or a scalable Kubernetes architecture.
Technical support from Microsoft is adequate, and there is a lot of documentation available. There is nothing to complain about.
If I had to rate support from zero to ten points, I would give them an eight.
For Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages, I find installation to be easy.
Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages has a market presence, and I do not disagree, especially since many applications are developed on Linux and are moving towards the cloud such as Azure. Therefore, Windows will maintain a good market share, but cost-sensitive customers often move towards Linux versions.
From a technical perspective, Linux may take much more use, and while a beginner might look for Windows due to lack of exposure, my reading shows that Linux users utilize its capabilities more than with Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages.
We are working as a partner with Microsoft.
We have different customers with various deployment styles, but our focus is mainly on the cloud.
We work in majority with enterprise customers as well as small and medium enterprises.
The majority of deployments are on our cloud platforms, which are built on products such as VMware, but we also have some workloads on Azure. Previously, we had Azure Stack, which is now discontinued, so we are moving others to local cloud platforms such as VMware and Nutanix.
My team has purchased products from cloud providers for storage services and some platform as a service kind of requirements.
Overall, I would rate Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages at seven points.
