  • Microsoft Application Server has proven to be highly reliable and effective at deploying to all of its clients.
  • Application performance is surprisingly good and responsive even in bandwidth-constrained environments and generally very reliable.
  • All software programs are manageable from a single location, even when bandwidth is limited.
  • It must support more environments, and Microsoft hotfixes and service packs frequently necessitate server reboots when they are applied.
  • Updates for both security and general release necessitate a restart.
  • Updates sometimes necessitate restarts, resulting in downtime and the need for more videos for users.

  • Microsoft Application Server has been very stable. We have had very few issues with downtime except for updates.
  • We now have a central location to manage and update our legacy apps without the need to install each app on each user's system.
  • Application performance is surprisingly very good and responsive even in bandwidth restricted environments.
  • Wish MS Application Server has support for more third-party providers.
  • Patching the server requires reboots which is a common issue with MS hotfixes and service packs.
  • Cheaper technical support options from Microsoft would be great.

  • I am not an IT person. The server is easy to use and is set up like you are using a normal desk top.
  • Since it is able to have more than one hard drive, we can mirror our applications on a different hard drive. This will be useful in the event the current hard drive we are accessing fails.
  • We have not problems with the speed of the server. Tasks are performed quickly no matter how many users are utilizing it.
  • We did have an issue with the time on the server. It actually read 6 hours ahead of time upon start up. This really played havoc with our time clock. Our IT person had to write a script to correct this issue.
  • Upon start up it will initially tell us there is an error, but when we bring up the report there is actually no error. Maybe this is the time thing.
  • We have only been using the Current Server for about 2 years now. So I am sure we haven't had time to run into to many other issues.
