Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft IIS

We use it to manage several internal monitoring websites that keep a track a of different threads and pieces of work that out OCR software is running. It allows us to host a variety of these websites across the business to manage different applications within the service. The business problem is addresses is that it allows us to easily host and change these monitoring websites to suit our business needs.
  • Easily available on MS products.
  • Lightweight with no frills application suitable for most machines.
  • Works as it should 99.9% of the time.
  • Application and UI are outdated.
  • Convoluted to use for those not familiar.
  • A set up wizard would be a nice touch.
  • Readily available.
  • Works on our required machines.
  • Does what it needs to with regards to hosting.
  • Allowing us to internally host our monitoring websites allows quick access to data that can be quite hidden, saving developer time.
  • It was inexpensive compared to more bulky solutions saving upfront cost.
  • It’s easy to install and enable allowing more developer savings.

We found it most suited for hosting our lightweight internal monitoring sites. The host environment easily handles the load and the websites are able to be maintained and hosted with little fuss. Familiarity with the software is required to do anything complicated but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a straight forward tool for hosting.
