"It is pretty simple and flexible. It works with all kinds of software. That's why we are using it. We avoid using Linux and other platforms."
"The active directory that the server provides is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The deployment can be done with rapidity and much ease."
"The solution is invaluable, we need it for file and emails servers."
"A valuable feature of Windows Server has been the performance. We have done all the redundancy and fault tolerance things to protect our servers and, so far, so good."
"The most valuable feature is this solution integrates very well with all Microsoft and all other mainstream software solutions and the design is very good. Windows has an option now allowing you to just install the Windows Core with the PowerShell without any graphical services running."
"I would like the solution to include AI integration. It also needs to have better support."
"The driver updates for the solution could be better."
"The integration between Windows and cloud applications could be improved to create a seamless experience."

"The reporting, event logging, and event management functionalities need to be improved."
"The security policies need improvement."
"I would definitely like to see bolting monitoring tools. To monitor the server you usually have to install third party tools. I would like to be less reliant on third-party tools. They always create some sort of security issue regarding ports that need to be opened, that type of thing. Windows Server has internally monitorable software but remote monitoring software would be a great add-on."
"They can simplify the utilization and control of the system when you have a lot of setups. They provided something called Windows Center or Control Center in version 2019. It's a free tool that comes with the Windows Server. You can install it on your desktop and use it. This tool simplifies the control and monitoring of all servers. If I have 200 servers, I don't need to log in to each one to configure it. I can manage them from this tool. However, this tool needs quite a lot of improvements. It's difficult to use, and they need to improve it."
"The scalability of the product needs to be improved, considering that organizations may have an increase in resource requirements."
"The only problem we have faced is when we are upgrading the solution it is complex."
"While the solution is stable, it could be more so."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
