Likelihood to Recommend As I mentioned earlier, the Apache HTTP Server has a small disadvantage compared to the competition (
NGINX ) in terms of performance. If you run websites that really have a lot of visitors,
NGINX might be the better alternative.
On the other hand, the Apache HTTP Server is open source and free. Further functionalities can be activated via modules. The documentation is really excellent.

From many types of OS, database, applications and web sites supported out of the box and powerful customization ability, TrueSight can manage the most complex. If you have a simple or small IT shop then this tool suite may be over-kill and not worth the complexity to set up

Read full review Pros Street Cred: Apache Web Server is the Founder for all of Apache Foundation's other projects. Without the Web Server, Apache Foundation would look very different. That being said, they have done a good job of maintaining the code base, and keeping a lot of what makes Apache so special Stability: Apache is rock-solid. While no software is perfect, Apache can parse your web sources quickly and cleanly. Flexibility: Need to startup your own Webpage? Done. Wordpress? Yup. REST Endpoint? Check. Honeypot? Absolutely.

Read full review Cons The default configurations which comes with Apache server needs to get optimized for performance and security with every new installation as these defaults are not recommended to push on the production environment directly. Security options and advanced configurations are not easy to set up and require an additional level of expertise. Admin frontend GUI could be improved to a great extent to match with other enterprise tools available to serve similar requirements.

Hoping for more metric choices. Read full review Support Rating I give this rating because there is so much Apache documentation and information on the web that you can literally do anything. This has to do with the fact that there is a huge Open Source community that is beyond mature and perhaps one of the most helpful to be found. The only thing that should hold anyone back from anything is that they can not read. RTFM, my friend. And I must say that the manual is excellent.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I has a lot more features, except that IIS is more integrated in a Windows environment. But now with .net core also possible from Apache it would work anywhere really. Only in a full Windows environment where full integration is needed I would chose to go for IIS. Otherwise Apache it is.

Read full review Return on Investment Works as intended, so it's less to worry about. Works great on elastic environments (like EC2). As an Open Source project, you can get support for almost any problem you can have. Configuration files, while powerful, can be tricky to dominate for some.
