Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server
Windows Server is used across our organization to solve a variety of business problems. One very important problem it takes care of is domain services. We have a cluster of Windows Server 2016 as our primary domain controllers. We also use Windows Servers to solve other business problems including hosting business analytics services such as Microsoft's Power BI, databases such as Microsoft SQL Servers, and other third-party applications such as the Site Scope Monitoring System from Microfocus.
- Windows Server directory services are very powerful. Think about it--easily organizing the directory to store documents in a secure way. I think that's awesome.
- Windows Server has a unique way of organizing users. This organization can be used across multiple other platforms for different applications, which is really amazing.
- Another unique feature of Windows Server is its document sharing capabilities. We can share documents across multiple users and secure them at the same time.
- Windows Server is a very complex piece of technology. It tends to become more complicated to handle with time, so including a feature that will guide engineers on how to do initial setup so as to avoid some feature complexities will help.
- I will like to see Windows Server open to accepting applications that run on systems like Linux.
- Windows Server should integrate tools to cleanup WSUS in an efficient way on a timely basis.
- Overall, Windows Server brings a lot of positives to the company. Once I pay for a Windows Server license, I can use it for a variety of purposes in the infrastructure. Windows Server has many other integrated features that could be purchased separately (e.g., DHCP, file sharing, and permissions). Now I can take advantage of all the extra features saving a lot of money
- There's a huge community around Windows Server, so finding solutions to problems becomes very easy, which is also a huge cost saver for my company because now we don't have to spend unnecessary amounts on simple issues that could be fixed with a single click.
