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 open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"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's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The solution offers good security."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."
"Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"The installation process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft System Center is its GUI (graphical user interface)."
"I like the automated features of it that let you schedule those updates and the ability of the product to focus on the specific updates, specific platforms, and products that we're interested in keeping up to date."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"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."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"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."
"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's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"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."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"The solution's dashboard 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."
