"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."

"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."

"Its stability could be better."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."

"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
