Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft IIS
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.
- Microsoft IIS is very good at quickly and easily starting up a website
- Microsoft IIS is excellent at hosting .net sites, this makes development and deployment seamless
- Microsoft IIS is great for multiple domains pointing to the same sites
- Microsoft IIS security could be more straightforward
- Security can be difficult if you want to use a 3rd party claims authentication
- Custom Handlers can be difficult to manage
- Microsoft IIS has allowed us to quickly and cheaply spin up thousands of sites when needed
- Microsoft IIS is a great as it is included in your Windows license
- Microsoft IIS is an industry standard and as such very easy to get support
Microsoft IIS was selected long ago as it was included with the Windows licensing. As such no new servers or costs were needed to host a site. We now host nearly 4,000 sites on Microsoft IIS. We do still use other platforms as needed but we always start with Microsoft IIS first before going another direction.
