We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and Microsoft System Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"The installation process is easy."
"Managment Packs for Microsoft-specific products, help us implement the best practices for each product."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"Its stability could be better."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Could be more user friendly."
