Windows Server Reviews

The platform's user interface needs improvement. Additionally, its price could be better.

We have been using Windows Server for 15 years.

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

We have 15 Windows Server users in our organization.

We receive the technical support services from a local vendor.

The platform generates a return on investment in terms of stability.

Windows Server is expensive. We purchase its yearly license.

I rate Windows Server a nine out of ten.

I use Windows Server for the deployment of applications for users.

This is only for the duration of the project; it is not for our personal use.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to be used in a virtualized environment.

I would like to see better integration with other solutions.

I have been working with Windows Server for five years.

Windows Server is a stable product.

Technical support is fine. They were helpful.

I have not worked with other similar solutions.

It's a software solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

It takes two months to deploy.

For deployment, we have an internal technical team of three people.

Because we are not using this solution for our needs, the ROI would be more applicable to our customers.

In terms of price, it's affordable.

There are additional fees to pay for support. This is more specifically to do with the license price.

I evaluated several products, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in order to find a budget for a project solution, but the project was canceled.

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

Our company is a partner.

I would rate Windows Server a nine out of ten.

We do software services, and most of the time we use this for UAT and testing purposes.

The availability of resources that are aware of Windows is great. It's more than any operating system. 

The support that Microsoft provides for this is very good. If you have an issue with the Windows Server, you'll get a lot of support from Microsoft.

The integration is great.

The interface and dashboards are fine.

While I would say scripting needs improvement, I've noticed that they started to do this couple of years ago. They do have their own WSL and PowerShell Scripts.

Generally, there is always room for improvement. However, nothing comes on top of my head right now. 

For countries in the Middle East and Africa, their pricing is a little bit high. Microsoft is having unified pricing across the globe. That's an issue. They don't negotiate on that. It's very expensive for many countries in this region.

They have something called Windows Server Core, and it doesn't have a graphical user interface, which is fine. However, there should be a management console or something that you can hook up to Windows Server Core so you can manage it much easier if you need UI or something.

We have used the solution since the beginning of the company, about 12 years at this point.

Technical support is great. If a company needs assistance, Microsoft is great at helping assist in troubleshooting. We are satisfied with the level of support.

We use Windows and Azure, Google Cloud GCP, and many flavors of Linux. For the database, we also use SQL Server and MySQL.

The pricing is high in certain regions as they don't price adjust for certain countries. They also do not negotiate their pricing. The cost is the cost. 

We use various deployment models, including on-premises, on the cloud, and hybrid.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If the pricing was more flexible, it would be better for the customer.

We used Windows Server to host a couple of virtual machines.

The most valuable feature of Windows Server is that it is intuitive and easy to use.

I rate Windows Server a nine out of ten.

We upgraded to 2019 and use this as our operating system for our domain controller, for our file server, and for running our ERP. We're also run our ERP on  Microsoft Dynamics.

Windows Server is most commonly used and practiced. It is compatible with what we are running. You can run Dynamics on Linux or other operating systems, but our clients commonly use Windows Server, Microsoft products, and Office 365.

Often, we get updates that affect productivity. It's the way they do the updates.

After an update has been done, Microsoft notifies us that there is a problem.

It is not practical to have a test environment. There should be an easier process, as currently, it's a bit tedious. They should find a way of proving or revamping this procedure. It should be very fast.

When you are running Windows and Microsoft, you will see an error message regarding ransomware and suggest the security is up-to-date, but the update always affects the operating system. Most of the issues we have are when we apply security updates or critical updates, which will affect the operating system, the production environment, and your business.

It is recommended to have a test environment, run it on the test environment to make sure that it is working well then put it in the production environment. This is a tedious process. Most of the time, people just take a risk and just apply it without doing the test.

I have been using Windows Server for more than 10 years.

We are using Windows 2019, 2016, and 2012.

It's a stable solution.

Windows Server is scalable.

We are also using Exchange version 2016, and Windows 10.

With a proper deployment, Windows Server is good.

I would rate Windows Server an eight 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.
