Windows Server Reviews

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.

We started virtualizing servers to reduce the number of physical servers and to optimize the data center. We started with standalone installations of the Hyper-V server and synchronized with our virtual machine. After that, we built a cluster and all of the VMs were hosted in that environment.

The organization spent a lot of money buying a large number of physical machines, which made up the workspace. With a physical machine, it is easy to incur damage with hardware faults, such as the loss of a disk or another component. With a cluster environment, we obtain an HA solution.

We like all of the features connected with sharing resources, typical of a Hyper-V cluster manager. Several of these further stand out, including:

• The ability to Hot Add resources to the VM.
• The ability to work on the physical server without disconnecting services.
  
• Provides workspaces for the entire organization with fewer resources.

One area that needs improvement is the management console. It seems very easy to use but it is not as powerful as those of other vendors, such as VMware. Their solution allows for operation in a more granular and simpler way. For example, there is a wizard to migrate a VM from one node to another, or from one datastore to another.

The solution is very useful if the company doesn't want open storage, OS. In those cases, we usually recommend customers to use Microsoft services. Most of the time it's actually the client who gives us advice on what kind of OS they want to use and they will just ask for the quotation. 

The solution is very flexible.

We find the solution to be easy to use and simple to navigate. 

The stability is very good.

The security on the server has been great. It's much more secure than, for example, other open-source operating systems.

We find the solution very easy to install. 

Technical support is very helpful.

The solution could be more reasonably priced.

We've been dealing with the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while now. We've had some time with it. 

The stability of the product is good. The product doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. 

There is no need to scale the solution. It's not the type of solution that really needs to scale.

I'm not sure the exact number of people using the solution. It's my understanding that it's over ten at this time. 

Technical support is very fast when it comes to replying. They were able to solve any issues we raised with them. We're satisfied with their level of service. 

The initial setup is not complicated to set up. It's pretty simple and straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

The deployment process may take about 30 minutes or so, as long as you don't run into any errors.

You only need two technical people to manage the deployment process. You don't need a very big team.

The pricing could be a bit more competitive.

The solution offers a permanent license. You don't have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. 

We are Windows Server consultants. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the product to other users and companies, especially those that don't want to use an open-source option. 

The solution is primarily used to deploy applications into the cloud and as remote information storage. Additionally, it is useful for test purposes. 

I find the solution to be easy to use, flexible with overall great performance.

The solution would be better by implementing more security and integration. 

Among some of the additional features, I would like to see in the next release are more integration and security.

I have used the solution for a few years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We have approximately 20 people using the solution. 

The installation was straightforward and took approximately one hour. 

I have deployed the solution by myself. 

The solution requires licencing. 

I will continue using and recommend the solution. 

I rate Windows Server an eight out of ten. 

We hosted servers on the solution. We installed programs and services on it such as Azure, an ERP product.

The solution is easy to use mostly but some features can be hard to understand for customers.

I have been using the solution for some time now and I have done so in the past year.

I would say Microsoft operating systems are more stable now than they were before, they have made some improvements over the years.

We have approximately 2000 users using the solution.

Windows server installation can be easy but it depends on what your needs are. If you built a huge platform, you can have some difficulties. On the other hand, if you use some simple build with, for example, services like IAS, it can be easily installed and you might be fine with the standard edition of Microsoft Server.

Microsoft has done a great job with Windows. Nothing is perfect, there is always going to be some issues with software at some point but when there are problems they are normally fixed easily. 

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

I'm using the Windows Server to manage all the printers and all the additional hardware. I have a mini virtual server. We are customers of Windows and I'm a network system administrator.

The solution is very easy to configure.

I'd like an improvement in being able to separate all the services offered. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

I have some technical assistance if I need it, but it's not through Windows. 

The initial setup is very easy. You connect to the internet and it's easy. 

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

The solution can be used for remote access through the remote desktop.

The main feature of the solution is it has a graphical interface.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

The stability is not very good because you have to restart the system to keep the stability.

The solution is scalable.

The installation is very easy and the installation takes approximately 20 minutes.

I can do the implementation of the solution myself.

The price of the solution could be reduced and there is a license required.

I would recommend Windows Server if they are not able to use Linux.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We are using the solution as a web server.

The most valuable feature is the performance.

The solution could improve by increasing security.

I have been using this solution for a few years.

Microsoft Server is a reliable solution.

There are a few people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

The installation is easy and it took me approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation myself.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.
