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 reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"The solution offers good security."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"It is scalable."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"The installation process is easy."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ease of configuration and the easy discovery of the environment."
"Many processes could be implemented out-of-the-box, and this helped to adopt processes in areas which we lacked."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"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 future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"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 major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"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."
