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 solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"It is scalable."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"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."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"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 availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."
"Many processes could be implemented out-of-the-box, and this helped to adopt processes in areas which we lacked."
"Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"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."
"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."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"Could be more user friendly."
"We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"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 platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
