What I like most about Windows Server is its reliability and its seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem especially Active Directory, security management, and centralized administration. This combination makes it easier to manage users, servers, and applications efficiently, and it scales well for enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Windows Server is the high licensing cost, its relatively resource-heavy performance compared to Linux, and the need for frequent updates and reboots. All of this can add to the overall maintenance effort and, if updates aren’t carefully planned, may also lead to downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Windows Server for its good backward compatibility capabilities as it allows me to run older legacy applications on almost any version. I also find it very easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it requires a lot of resources to run the operating system, and it constantly needs to be refreshed or restarted once in a while to keep it running efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prime advantage is that all Microsoft products work very well together so integrating all the various products is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Main dislike is cost. A fully integrated MS ecosystem is out of the reach of SMB's. Another dislike is that it takes a long time for MS to setup integrations with any product that is a lower cost alternative to any of MS products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The couple issues I have with Windows Server include high licensing costs, mandatory updates requiring frequent reboots, and high resource overhead compared to Linux alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our workplace, Windows Server has been the backbone for managing users, applications, and file storage. I really appreciate how Active Directory makes user and group management straightforward, especially in a growing team where access control is critical. The integration with Microsoft products like SQL Server and Office 365 makes it easy to keep everything under one ecosystem, which saves us a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that some administrative tasks still feel a bit heavy compared to cloud-first solutions. Updates and patches sometimes require restarts, which can be disruptive if you don’t plan downtime carefully. Licensing costs are also something we always have to account for when scaling.

I find Windows Server to be a very user-friendly operating system that is easy to manage. I appreciate its virtualization capabilities, allowing me to run multiple operating systems efficiently. I like its ability to connect with the cloud, which helps manage my infrastructure from anywhere, reducing a lot of manual efforts. I also value the security features and its lightweight nature. Switching from Linux, I find Windows Server much more user-friendly, and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we face BAOS issue on which they should focus to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ aspects that are most favourable towards me are undoubtedly the stability and the security features that are quite strong. Also, the integration with the Microsoft tools like Active Directory and Azure is very smooth. From time to time it is still possible that the entire setup is quite challenging but any kind of trouble with the working is pretty much out of the question. In all probability, it is a solid and very efficient solution for any business ​‍​‌‍​‍‌environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ costs for licenses and upgrades are rather significant, and if you do not have skilled administrators, setting up or maintaining the system can be a bit challenging. Updates are usually lengthy and can, at times, cause ​‍​‌‍​‍‌interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is that it has a robust ecosystem, is easy to manage, and can be integrated with the Microsoft environment. The main feature is AD, which we call Active Directory, and it provides centralized user management, policy enforcement, and resource organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Windows Server for our Civil Engineering firm, and it protects all of our files and applications with great backups and patches. I like the easy environment to maintain, manage, and monitor. It also sends updates when needed and has great scripts that run well. Our firm operates in a Hyper-V environment, which makes it more secure and protective against harm or attacks. The initial setup was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
