Windows Server Reviews

We are using Windows Server as an operating platform. It's an Operating system.

We host our products on the Windows Server.

The performance is good.

While it is easy to use, it could be easier. 

The performance is good but we have had some issues when we use virtual machines. Loading and processing a lot of data leads to memory-related issues. As such, while the performance is good, it could still be improved.

We are using version 2012 and it could be that other versions have improved this feature.

We are currently using Windows Server 2012. We have been using this solution for approximately 12 years.

I have no issues with the stability of the Windows Server.

It's scalable. I am satisfied with the scalability of this solution.

We don't have plans to increase our usage.

We don't deal with Microsoft support directly. Our service team is in contact with them if there is an issue.

Previously, I did not use another solution.

The installation was straightforward and easy.

We have a team of server maintenance and network engineers to maintain this solution.

We had help from the Server team to implement this solution.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I  would rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

We use the solution as a server OS. Due to security reasons, we have created some virtual machines instead of on-premise deployments and we are writing SQL queries.

The main feature of the solution is the ease of use.

There should be the ability to add other databases to be installed and configured instead of going to other virtual machines. They should be better integrated so they are all in one place.

I have been using this solution since I started my career, which is a long time ago.

The solution is stable. We created virtual machines with huge configurations and based on our volume of data or jobs it is running it has been performing very well.

It is not scalable because we are dealing with virtual machines. You just log in to the system and you can run the queries. It is not like a database, where you can integrate and process. You can only use it and let the query control the system.

We have five people using this solution in my organization.

If we have an issue we write a ticket to Microsoft and they are able to help us with a solution.

The installation is straightforward, it takes approximately 30 minutes.

There is an annual license required for this solution.

I rate Windows Server a nine out of ten.

This solution can be used for a lot of things, such as email, file servers, authentication, network access protocol, DNS, active directory, and accessing the main controllers.

The main features are ease of use and simple administration. 

 I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

I have found the stability to be good but it could improve.

The solution is scalable and we plan to increase usage.

I have used Linux Red Hat previously.

The installation is straightforward and takes approximately 10 minutes.

I have done the implementation myself but sometimes I require assistance because some environments have a lot of servers. The more servers you have the more administrators you will need for the maintenance.

There is a license required and it is on an annual basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.

We use it for a system that we have in our company. We are using Windows Server 2016.

It is stable and scalable.

It is not easy to use. It can be more user-friendly to make our routine work a bit easy.

It could also be cheaper.

I have been using this solution for four or five years. 

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have around 1,000 users.

Support is handled by another department.

We didn't use any other solution.

I didn't handle its installation, but based on what I know, it was easy to install.

We install and maintain it with the help of another team in our company. They have three engineers for deployment and maintenance.

It could be cheaper. Its licensing is on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

We are primarily using the solution as a domain controller for user authentication and a DNS server.

We haven't had any issues so far. It works basically without any issues.

The solution is easy to use and very user-friendly. It's simple to navigate and to work with.

The solution is stable. The performance has been great over the years.

The product has the capability to scale. 

The installation was very straightforward.

It would be nice if the solution was a bit cheaper. The product is a little pricey.

I use the solution daily. I've used it over the last ten years or so. It's been a decade. I've been using it for a long time.

The solution is very stable. We upgraded from 2016 to 2019 versions and we didn't have any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable and the performance is good.

I have read about its scalability, however, our environment is not too big. Therefore, I don't have any experience with scaling the product directly. That said, I read that it's scalable. It's just that I haven't attempted to expand it myself.

We have about 50 users on the solution currently.

We do intend to increase usage in the future.

I can't speak to how technical support is. I'm not responsible for that server. I've not experienced any issues myself that would require me to call into support.

Before using the Windows Server, I did not use other operating systems for business products. We've always just used Windows and Microsoft Office-based systems.

The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It was quite straightforward and fairly simple. 

The deployment is fast. It takes less than 20 minutes.

We also moved from 2016 to 2019 versions without any issues.

Maintenance does not require a large amount of staff. One person is responsible for the environment for the Window Servers. We have an IT administrator handling the duties.

I handled the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of any consultants or integrators.

The solution does require a company to obtain a license.

We would like the licenses to be less expensive. Generally, the price is too high.

We are just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

I would recommend this solution to other organizations.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very pleased with its overall capabilities.

We use the solution as a typical server for our organization.

I have found the solution to be flexible and easy to use.

I believe the solution needs to be more secure in the future.

I have been using the solution for 10 years.

The solution has been stable.

The solution is scalable but not as much as some of their competitors. We have approximately 400 users using the solution in my organization.

The support is okay but it takes some time before you have someone on the telephone that is an expert that is needed for the issue.

I have previously used Linux and this solution is not as scalable.

The installation was straightforward.

The deployment is not a single-person job and we have used vendors in the past. For the deployment and maintenance of the solution, we have three technicians.

There is a license needed for this solution.

I would recommend using this solution to others.

I rate Windows Server an eight out of ten.

We use it to implement and configure Active Directory environments for organizations. Projects can be related to running WS systems as well as implementing and performing System Center Configuration Manager, assisting the OM, Operation Manager, and monitoring.

The biggest and the most important services used in most of the organizations in the world is the Active Directory. The policy management feature is a great option for managing different policies in the domain environment. 

Also, integration with other Microsoft solutions like Exchange and System Center Configuration Manager has the great ability to manage all of the different features on system support, like upgrading, securing, and troubleshooting different Windows systems for clients.

I think integration with Linux operating systems would be a great idea, as well as focusing on the simplicity of running containers in the Linux environments. I think this would be a requirement for the next generation of applications running in .NET and Microsoft programming languages.

Microsoft should expand to integrate the Windows Server with Azure and Linux distribution to provide a simple container environment for running dockerized applications.

I've been using it for around 10 years.

It is scalable. We currently have around 30 engineers using the Windows Server, but we hope to increase this number.

The initial setup is very simple.

I implemented it myself.

One of the problems with Microsoft is the price of licensing, and volume licensing for educational systems is a great option to bequeath licensing for small businesses.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at nine.

For authentication and identity management, without a doubt, I would suggest using the Active Directory with Microsoft Windows Servers.

Most of our computers have the Windows Server operating system, and all of our applications are running on it.

It's easy to use.

The stability could be improved.

The scalability could also be improved.

I have been using Windows Server for a couple of years.

For the most part, we are using version 2015.

It's stable but could be better.

The scalability could be better, it's not very good.

We have approximately 1,000 users in our organization.

We have plans to continuing using this solution.

We have not contacted technical support for Windows Server.

We are also using Red Hat Linux.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It took one to two hours to deploy.

We have one or two people for the deployment.

We completed the installation ourselves.

We purchase licenses.

It's expensive, but we have a need for it and have to purchase it.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows Server a seven out of ten.
