We performed a comparison between IIS and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's good and offers good usability."
"IIS is useful for the deployment of web applications...Its stability is good."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"IIS is easy to configure in terms of websites and other solutions."
"The solution is highly reliable."
"The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites."
"IIS's most valuable feature is user-friendliness."

"It is a robust solution."
"I love Tomcat for its scalability, reliability, availability, and steadiness."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is readily available and open-source."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The solution is scalable."
"Web apps are very easy to deploy."
"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 security must be improved."
"Sometimes if you are using IIS in large-scale scenarios, meaning that if you are deploying an application within IIS service and you are expecting a large number of users to use this application, you can sometimes find some problems, meaning that the service can shut down by itself unexpectedly if you don't configure your IIS with the correct configuration that can handle this number of users."
"This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster."
"The platform's stability could be better."
"The user interface could be improved."
"IIS has some stability issues and needs restarting."
"I am using an older version of Windows Server IIS and the general management and navigation to get something done is not as straightforward as I hope it to be. The interface could be improved."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
"Our biggest challenge is that the Tomcat servers are not hosted locally."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
"Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be."
