MS-MS Review.
Familiar system to any user of the operating system. All I
have to do is start the application and access all its features. It is
this familiarity with the operating system that makes Windows a
preferred choice for many businesses. Many organizations have preferred
operating systems like Windows 2021 or Windows XP. These operating
systems are extremely efficient but are not very user-friendly.

Microsoft Application Server Is Easy To Set Up And Use
Score 8 out of 10

I think this is one of the outstanding Microsoft products. We use this to host the fantastic applications that we've put online. Microsoft Application Server allows us to reliably and quickly categorize our internal software to our remote workers. It lets remote users access legacy and on-premises applications. Installing the application locally on the user's system is not required. We deployed, managed, and updated on-prem apps from a single location. Our remote staff and clients use it to run applications.
- 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.

Our EIT department has especially utilized Microsoft Application Server this year to help combat the whole COVID situation and working remotely. We have been able to use it to connect to our servers through the web instead of being stationary on our office.
For our organization, having this software has allowed us to continue using our servers and programs throughout this year at ease.
- Easy to use
- Competitive pricing
- Up to date
- Appealing
- Quicker respond time to tickets
- More customization/personalization
- More videos for new customers

Needs to enable remote users to access Legacy\ON-Prem Application remotely get MS Application Server!
We use MS Application to enable our remote users to use our legacy or on-premises applications without the need to install the application locally on the end-users' system, or set up complex network environments. This has enabled us to have one central location to deploy, manage, and update our on-prom and legacy applications.
- Enables you to host on-prem and legacy applications remotely without the complexity.
- MS Application Server has been rock solid and requires very little maintenance.
- You have the ability to manage your on-prem and legacy applications in one centralized location.
- Applications are very fast and responsive even while being access remotely.
- Some security hotfixes and general release updates require restarts.
- We wish it supported more applications out of the box.
- Thin client support would be great for MS Application Server.
It works like a dream. We use Microsoft Application Server for our remote users to be able to access internal applications. It also basically eliminates the need for us to install applications on each client machine. This saves time and money. It centralizes multiple applications into one platform.
- Great at being able to deploy to all users.
- Very little maintenance is required and generally very reliable.
- Centralized management of all applications.
- Wished Microsoft would offer better support options that are cheaper.
- Updates sometimes require restarts which cause downtime.
- More support for 3rd part software vendors.

Great way to modernize your legacy application on the cheap
MS Application Server is used by our remote staff and clients. Some of our applications require installation on physical systems since they are legacy applications. MS Application Server has enabled us to centralize application management to two servers and eliminated the need to update every single user's computer via scripts and deployments. This has saved us valuable resources in our IT department.
- 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.

Fast, reliable, and saves money
One of the best Microsoft Products. MS Application Server enables us to provide our internal software to our internal and remote workforce users that's fast and reliable. The old days of you having to install applications is gone this has reduced IT staff man-hours by providing a central location where all applications are installed and updated.
- One central location to administer all your applications from.
- Has been rock solid for us with little to no downtime.
- Applications are fast and responsible even with bandwidth restrictions.
- Cheaper support from Microsoft would be great.
- Wish there was a thin client option.

The right software for you
We use it to house our applications that we deploy remotely. Works great. I would recommend it any day. Some issues at times but nothing a server reboot won't fix, either VM server or actual physical one. Only issue is with citrix.
- It can be deployed anywhere.
- It is reliable.
- Does not break down often.
- Easy to fix when it goes down.
- It needs to be able to support more environments such as thin clients.

Awesome Server!!!
At this time the Server is being used by the Fiance Department. We use the server for our MIP and Microix Software. We are able to connect the the server as users to perform all our accounting and timekeeping duties with ease.
- 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.
