Overall Satisfaction with Apache Web Server
Apache Web Server is used for hosting some of our internal web applications and database instances including a few partner/customer facing web applications and websites that need fine tuned web servers and performance.
- Apache Web Server provides detailed configuration options that makes it great for web applications where performance and a high level of security are a consideration.
- It works well even with reasonable compute / hardware for infrastructure.
- Although it has detailed configuration and administration capabilities, there is a steep learning curve to be able to configure Apache Web Server. It is not for beginners.
- The management console / dashboard can certainly be made better with default parameters in place.
- Positive impact on ROI since Apache Web Server is open source, needing no upfront license fees.
- Positive impact on business objectives for handling web workload that need fine tuned web servers and security.
Oracle WebLogic /Tuxedo is great when you are using it to install Oracle stack on top including other Oracle middleware and applications. Similarly, if you have IBM applications that need to be configured with IBM DB2, IBM WebSphere is better than Apache Web Server. Red Hat JBoss and Apache Web Server both have comparable performance although JBoss is easier to configure.
