What do you like best about Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows Server?

It is one of its kind. Comparing to Java world there is not much to choose from when it comes to a WebServer: IIS is the answers for most for .Net products. It is not too complicated to work with. Has most of features a enterprise system would need from a Web Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows Server?

Hard to say. Maybe logging could be improved. Currently you just get files with details, but nothing more. I'm not saying this is an issue how, but if I were to say something about what could be improved I would look into reading / searching in logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IIS7.5 has a new improve agile feature rich app"
5/5
What do you like best about Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows Server?

I like the new graphical configuration is really i like it which is kind of reg-edit. Also the FTP is integrated with the console making it full fledged. It has a improved GUI management. I am very-much comfortable in the command line meaning the option to manage the IIS server through Microsoft's Power Shell interface. Using the Power Shell snap-in for IIS 7.5, using commands to control i can view nearly any aspect of the server. It make our job a easier for managing scripts, build scheduled tasks and handle remote management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows Server?
