"WampServer - PHP development made easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WampServer?

WampServer is one of the oldest and the best server stack for deploying an Apache, MySQL, PHP stack in a Windows environment.

What do you dislike about WampServer?

Security is one of the primary feature while we develop for the internet. WampServer, although provides a robust environment for web development lacks in terms of security. That's a primary reason for not using the stack in a production environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
