Pretty solid value for the cost
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.
Pros
- Delegated remote management.
- Admin tool center is great.
- Scalable web infrastructure when needed.
Cons
- The installation process had bugs.
- The pricing structure was confusing.
- The diagnostic tools could have a better UX.
- Remote management.
- Scalable web infrastructure.
- 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.
