Microsoft Application Server Is Easy To Set Up And Use
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
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.

- We have all of our applications in one place. Microsoft Application Server has helped us save money because we no longer have to maintain legacy applications on end-user systems.
- There has been a fantastic return on investment for our company. Improved efficiency in our IT operations has reduced the time spent maintaining legacy applications, allowing our IT staff to work on other projects.
- Its performance is excellent even in bandwidth-constrained environments, and allowing all users to access our legacy applications has greatly improved business operations.
We did choose because of its dependability, speed, complex environment support, and ease of use. Microsoft Application Server is cheaper than IBM WebSphere Application Server and faster than WebSphere. Microsoft Application Server is a close competitor in terms of features, but it's more expensive. In addition, we must deal directly with the vendor.

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.

- We have been able to standardize all of our legacy applications to one location.
- Business operations have improved greatly by enabling all users access to our legacy applications.
We chose MS Application Server since it's fast and reliable and support complex environments and it's simple to set up and get running.

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.

- Our ROI has been great since it has enabled our IT staff to have a central location to perform application updates which enables us to save time and money.
- Deployment is very easy since the internal applications that required constant updating are now updated in one central location.
- It's a lot easier to be within compliance protocols requirements.
Too complex to setup and maintain. It also lacks enterprise-level SLA and support that Microsoft provides.
