Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft IIS

IIS is being used as a centralized web farm management tool for my company. We deploy and manage web sites and applications across large farms of web servers from a centralized location. Microsoft IIS makes it easy to centrally deploy and manage the configuration and content across a bunch of different web servers.
  • Delegated remote management.
  • Admin tool center is great.
  • Scalable web infrastructure when needed.
  • The installation process had bugs.
  • The pricing structure was confusing.
  • The diagnostic tools could have a better UX.
  • Remote management.

  • Diagnostic tools.
  • It has reduced our cost a bit in terms of head count
  • The scalability has been nice to keep up with user demand
  • The access protection has been a nice benefit
In terms of the configuration on a shared volume perspective, I think the Apache HTTP Server does a better job here. The Apache angle on this problem is more efficient from a man power perspective and ends up costing a little less in the long run over time. IIS tends to scale better at a certain point though.

Do you think Microsoft IIS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft IIS's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft IIS live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft IIS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft IIS again?

Yes

Depending on your needs a company, Microsoft IIS may or may not be a great solution. In the case of my company, we do not have a ton of security protocols to go through like some other companies. Take for example, a government agency or maybe health care, which has numerous data privacy restrictions that need to be considered.
