Windows Server Reviews

We use Windows Server for process control in process control systems. Right now, the operations team is the only one using the solution. They conduct day collection for our process control system.

Windows Server provides a robust operating system that keeps our processes running 24 hours a day without any downtime.

The most valuable feature of Windows Server is its scalability and robustness. 

Windows could add more tools to monitor the health of the server.

I've been using Windows Server for 15 years. 

Windows Server is highly robust. We only have to do maintenance on the system once yearly.

Windows Server is very scalable, but we don't have any plans to increase our usage in the near term.

So far, we've only had good experiences with Windows support.

We were previously running Unix, but the manufacturer of our control system forced us to switch to Windows Server. We didn't have a choice.

We set up the servers ourselves. The time needed to deploy varies from server to server.

Windows could always lower the cost.

I rate Windows Server about a nine out of 10. It's very robust, but there is always room for improvement in monitoring and other features.

We use this solution as our server application. Several applications are based on this operating system.

Windows server is easy to use.

Windows Server needs to introduce more dashboards.

A common user is not able to implement this solution. It could be simplified.

I have been using Windows Server for a couple of years.

We are using version 2019.

Windows Server is stable. I have no issues with the stability of the Windows Server.

We have 45 servers in our organization.

Technical support is good. We have no issues with the support of Microsoft.

We did not use any other solution.

It is quick and easy to install. 

The installation can take up to 45 minutes.

All technical people in our organization need to install Windows Server. Any IT engineer can deploy this solution. However, it cannot be set up by a regular user.

I completed the installation myself.

There is a licensing fee that is paid yearly. 

It is an expensive solution. 

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

It is very popular, I would rate Windows Server a ten out of ten.

Windows Server can be used for any kind of application. It is an operating system that supports enterprise applications. There is no application that doesn't go with Windows.

It could be more stable. Windows has certain problems that Unix platforms don't have. It requires more administrative effort as compared to Unix. I don't know why Microsoft has not changed that. It generates a lot of trash data, so slowly and steadily, you find more and more space being utilized. There is some kind of administrative load, which doesn't happen with Unix.

I have been using this solution for many years.

It is stable, but its stability can be better.

We have a maximum of 50 or 60 users. 

We didn't use their support much. 

It was very easy to install. The time period for installation depends on the complexity. If we want to simply install with the default option, it doesn't take much time. If you want to enable all of the service options that Windows provides, such as SNMP, it will take longer. If you have to install IAS and all such things, it will take time.

I would recommend this solution to others. We plan to keep using it.

I would rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

I primarily use Windows Server as a hypervisor, running Hyper-V.

I would like to see the security features improved in the future.

I have been using Windows Server for about 15 years.

This is a stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future.

There are more than 10,000 users for the services that we have running.

I have not needed to contact technical support for Windows Server.

We only use Microsoft products, so we did not use another product before this one.

The initial setup with Microsoft products is always straightforward. The length of time for deployment depends on the services that are being implemented.

In some cases, I use a consultant to assist with deployment. However, this is not always the case because our in-house team can also do it.

We have about five people in our team for deployment.

We did not evaluate options by other vendors. Microsoft is a well-known brand and the only company to use for some services.

This is a good product and one that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use these servers for databases and applications.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ESRP that is used with the Windows Platform.

Windows Platforms become rather complicated. We started with the Windows Platform because they simplified it, but now, it has become quite complicated.

The administration has become quite heavy and also the specialization. 

We are a rather small factory, not a big system. We are small with a thousand employees, and we need a simplified environment.

In the next release, I would like to see the administration simplified.

I have been using Windows Server for more than 20 years. 

The version we are using is quite new, 2020.

Windows Server is stable.

It is scalable, but the administration becomes quite complicated.

We have not used the technical support, we have had contact with the third-party partners.

The initial setup of Windows Server is straightforward.

In our country, the Windows platform is widespread, which means there is a high amount of usage. We primarily use Windows Solutions. Some also use Linux, but Linux is the minority.

I would rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

The solution is a general server, It can be used for any of the products that you want to create or use. For example, it can be used for application server deployment and web applications. It can be used for everything.

Nothing is required for the maintenance of the solution, Microsoft does everything. It is very good and robust.

The solution could be cheaper.

I have used the solution for 20 years

In my experience the solution is stable.

The solution is extremely scalable.

The support for this solution is excellent.

When comparing the installation to Linux and others, it is probably the best one.

The whole deployment with everything installed takes approximately one week. I have done the implementation of the solution for 10 years but now I use my team to do it. It normally only takes one person to do the deployment.

We pay yearly for a license. If you ask any vendor they will tell you that it could be cheaper.

I am going to continue to use this solution in the future.

I rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

We use the solution as a server for our information at our company.

The most valuable features I have found to be the flexibility and wide range of support training available.

In the future, there should be better protection for this solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately 20 years.

The solution is stable. However, you can receive a lot of cyberattacks. We need to invest more in security when we are using Windows. It tends to be the target of attacks and hacks compared to other operating systems, such as Linux. 

We have approximately 400 users using the solution in my organization.

We used Ubuntu Linux previously.

The installation of the solution is easy. The time depends on what you are going to configure on the server. The install itself can be done in approximately 10 minutes.

We did the implementation ourselves and we use a team of two developers and three administrators for maintenance.

I would recommend this solution. However, I would advise investing in more security measures. We plan to continue using the solution in the future.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We use it for our servers. We have Windows 2012 and Windows 2016. We are not on the latest version, but we are almost there. 

It is pretty simple and flexible. It works with all kinds of software. That's why we are using it. We avoid using Linux and other platforms.

Its performance is also good.

It can have more integration with different platforms. Its installation could also be easier.

I have been using this solution for six years.

Currently, we have around 150 users. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

I don't have experience with their technical support.

Its installation is of medium complexity. It can be tricky.

Normally, the installation takes half an hour to one hour. The updates take more time than the installation.

Normally, I do it myself. Only when I have issues, I use a consultant.

We have a technical team of two engineers for deployment and maintenance.

Its price is fine. Its licensing is on a yearly basis.

I would surely recommend this solution to others who want to start using it.

I would rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.
