Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very easy to publish.""All the features of Microsoft IIS are valuable.""We use the solution for our customer's web applications.""The product is stable.""The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites.""It has an intuitive user interface and provides a lot of options for building reports.""The initial setup is simple.""The interface, simplicity, and ease of management are all good features that make this user-friendly."

More IIS Pros →

"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service.""The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem.""The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory.""What I find most valuable in Oracle WebLogic Server is its flexibility in administering and managing applications, along with the built-in dashboards that offer high visibility into vulnerabilities.""Oracle WebLogic Server is secure.""The solution works well in load balancing.""In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server.""We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."

Cons
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting.""The solution is slow and could have better performance.""Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft.""IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view.""The customer service and support team can be improved.""The price of the solution could be less to improve.""IIS has some stability issues and needs restarting.""The documentation isn't very good and the options are very complex."

More IIS Cons →

"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others.""The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems.""There's a bug related to the managed services.""Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience.""The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files.""In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface.""I've had issues with some of the tracking features tracking and have had to go back to several generations of code to fix problems where things were touched.""The integration could be improved."
