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."The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"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 open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."
"The installation process is easy."
"Managment Packs for Microsoft-specific products, help us implement the best practices for each product."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"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."
"Its stability could be better."
"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."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"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."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"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 multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
