Hosting websites on-premises or in the cloud, Microsoft IIS is the best choice for deploying websites using Microsoft technology such as ASP.NET pages. In our company, we have developed some systems for our customers, such as access control, timesheet, and hotel checkin/out, among others; the simplicity to automatically create and configure a website is a differential of the solution, because the end user is not always an IT technician with the necessary knowledge to install and configure a web application, that's why the "NNF" configuration (Next-Next- Finish) is a big differentiator. However, Microsoft IIS has great features for advanced users, allowing for example, to host several sites on the same server and segregate them for internal publication such as on an intranet, as well as for external publication on the Internet.

With constant evolution, security requirements and compatibility with new technologies are implemented in each version; and the availability of extensions allows hosting of non-Microsoft content such as PHP pages and Node.

We use IIS to host web applications for both internal and external use. Years ago we made the switch from traditional desktop apps to web applications. When the decision was made to do so, we leaned on the Microsoft .Net platform and IIS as our choice for web technology. We have a plethora of custom web apps, and IIS is currently hosting our home grown ESB.

IIS is being used as a centralized web farm management tool for my company. We deploy and manage web sites and applications across large farms of web servers from a centralized location. Microsoft IIS makes it easy to centrally deploy and manage the configuration and content across a bunch of different web servers.

We deploy all of our .NET web based apps on Microsoft IIS. We are using these apps for our many of our core business applications which require maximum uptime. IIS is a great web server with many options and configurations to help deliver web based applications to a large pool of end users!

We use it to manage several internal monitoring websites that keep a track a of different threads and pieces of work that out OCR software is running. It allows us to host a variety of these websites across the business to manage different applications within the service. The business problem is addresses is that it allows us to easily host and change these monitoring websites to suit our business needs.

Microsoft IIS is being used by my organization to serve business and scientific applications for users in the organization and externally. The applications are a mixture of ASP.NET, .NET MVC, and more recently .NET Core. It is an integral part of our IT services, and each instance often serves over 10 applications.

We're a Microsoft based organization... we use .NET Framework C#, azure, teams, outlook etc etc. [Microsoft] IIS is our first choice for an internet web server. But even if we weren't so Microsoft focused, it's hard to find an easier to use product than IIS. Installation, usage, configuration is easy, without any lack of functionality.

IIS is being used by our organization to host all of our internal and external web sites and applications. All users in our company use IIS by using our applications. We are using IIS for both simple and complex applications which the company relies on. A big problem it has solved is allowing us to integrate it with TFS allowing for seamless and highly efficient changes to occur on our applications when requested by the business.

We build a business web application to support operations which are hosted on Windows servers using IIS. I would say that our utilisation of IIS is probably considered fairly basic with it running .Net websites using winforms and some re-write rules, nothing too grandiose but it meets our needs and has rarely been a cause for concern.

We use Microsoft IIS for specific requirements on client deliverables. Certain projects require us to implement Microsoft IIS for overall project hosting and delivery. Microsoft IIS is very easy to install, and its GUI is very informative. The Microsoft Server facilitates implementation of SQL database seamless. It is very useful due to its simplicity for small projects which primarily require CRUD operations in SQL.

We use Microsoft IIS across the enterprise as an offering for web servers on Windows machines. We use it to host several of our enterprise workloads as well as some of our smaller web properties. IIS has been a staple of our stack for many years.

We are currently using Microsoft IIS throughout our organization. We are using Microsoft IIS for internal sites, external private sites and public .com sites. We are utilizing all sorts of authentication methods with all of these sites, Windows auth, forms auth, anonymous auth, and SSO. We also have a number of web services in Microsoft IIS.

I and my IT department currently and previously use Microsoft IIS as the main web server solution for internal and public-facing websites. In a Microsoft environment, I think, this is the best option for the web server. Easy to deploy the server, easy upload websites. Didn't have too many issues with Microsoft ISS, simple to use, saves time on deployment. Our current IIS environment contains not only internal and external websites but several web services that interact with third-party services for identity, fraud detection, etc.

IIS is being used to drive an internal NodeJS application within our department and is used widely throughout the rest of our company for other internal services. The primary driving force behind using it is the ease of integrating Windows Single Sign-On for all of our internal sites.

My IT department is using the IIS server and we manage this for using the webservices as well as multiple websites. Not much problem with IIS and is simple to use, efficient and time saving. We can host the websites using this so that the other team or developers can access this. We can also restrict the users and make the privacy settings authenticate the users accordingly. We can also give the privileges and user rights depending on the hierarchy.

IIS serves a multiplicity of uses for us. It provides internal resources and applications for staff and products for our customer base. The application provides us easy access to multiple internally-developed and vendor-supplied applications for our various internal departments and ready access by our customers to our various products and services.

We use IIS in a number of different ways. Some of our homegrown .NET apps run internally on our network as well as several other boxed software installs that require the use of IIS. Our current setup involves about 6 servers all running the latest version of IIS and they seem to be easy to work with and are patched fairly regularly by our staff.

Microsoft IIS is an integral part of any infrastructure and in my own, counts for a significant portion of internal and external application delivery. As a tried and true web server platform, we confidently trust this server extension with some of our most important web applications.

We consider IIS a critical desktop application on all Windows machines. It is simply the best platform for rapidly testing scripts, prototyping tools, and automating many of our menial day-to-day tasks.
