"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."

"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft System Center is its GUI (graphical user interface)."
