for additional functionality, a lot of configuration is needed, and it is easy to get lost if you lack experience in server management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's relatively easy to set up and administer even for a non sysadmin developer like me. Low cost as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of support if I run into a problem. But I can usually figure it out by searching forums so it's more a minor inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache is mighty and robust, it doesn't need anything, but I would like to improve the permission changes for Apache Server folders on GNU Linux systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We, as a nonprofitable educational organization, can not afford the high licensing server cost of IIS. Our old infrastructure compatibility with the latest servers was also a challenge. To inhouse host our Koha (library software) and moodle LMS, we tried to evaluate other webservers like tomcat, IIS but the compatibility mismatch consumed our energy a lot.

We missed the GUI like IIS. They were sometimes hanged on heavier loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Apache is open source and very easy to set up. On Ubuntu, Apache2 also allows SSL, and its very easy to use Letsencrypt to get a free SSL certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache cannot host JAVA applications and this is a massive disadvantage for JAVA developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache used to be the defacto webserver and it still a good choice when you are supporting existing Apache based configurations. Migrating a webserver with 200+ sites to another webserver is a major amount of work.

Especially lots of PHP based solutions rely on .htaccess ; rewriting those can be a pain.
