WampServer Reviews & Product Details

The thing I like best is that it gives me all the functionality I'd need to build and run a website centrally. It's almost like creating a website, except this time it's on my screen rather than in the cloud. This ensures that I can easily edit and change my site until I'm sure it's ready for launch. Another big advantage I see when using it is that with WAMP you can configure extensions that allow users to easily shift between various versions of PHP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that made me feel uncomfortable is that WAMP comes with the standard component stack, but it doesn't encourage us to add any components to it. I can't use it on a Linux computer. There seem to be a lot of problems during installations due to a lack of necessary conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to install, easy to use, and light compared to other servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wamp is a very robust tool. It is very easy to configure a local development environment using Apache2, PHP and MySQL. I also like the fact that you can use different versions of PHP. It is even possible to change the configuration files. It is also available in different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without a doubt, I find it disappointing that this software is only available for Windows platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quite easy to use. In fact, WampServer's User Interface is probably the simplest I've seen in a localhost software. Another thing is that it offers me all the features I'd need to build and run a website locally. It's more like setting up a website, only this time it's on my computer instead of in the cloud. That means that I can comfortably edit and modify my site until I'm a hundred percent certain that it is ready for deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't use it on Linux computers. There are often a lot of issues during installations due to lack of prerequisite. It would be better if the installation package came with all the files and programs needed to work effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a general opinion that Linux is the most suitable environment to work on PHP. But, after the arrival of WAMP stack, that is no more true. With this stack, you can work with PHP on windows as easy as it can get. WAMP provides far advanced functions and features than any other stack. It provides apache, mysql, php, sqlbuddy and most importantly, Xdebug. Xdebug is the most useful function for me to debug php errors. There is no other options which is more suitable, available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WAMP comes with the by default stack of components, but it doesnt allow us to add other components through this. However there is a facility that allows to add previous versions of the default stacks to test my projects in diffferent versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Wamp service that runs in the background is heavy. Sometimes it hogs up too much RAM, up to 1GB, which could indicate a memory leak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and test your website.. The perfect local host for setting up a local machine lab for your website development without having to do it online in a production environment.This is the only best server I had found for running the PHP application.

What I like the best in this type of server is that I can have the simplicity of a Windows server and the security of Apache for my website. Also, developing in PHP is really simple and has a lot of information available. For people like me, it is the best way to work with technology stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my dislikes are a few things: 1.- Windows server licenses are really expensive, and the price gets higher when you have robust hardware to support it. 2.- MySQL database is a little bit complex to manage; I prefer other types such as SQL Server. 3.- If I do not develop in PHP, it does not work properly with Apache; other languages like ASP.NET are not allowed.

WampServer stack comes with full stack capability and ease to setup servers. It enables software developers to easily setup local development stack for developing web. Level of customization it provides for apache/mysql and php is the best. This enable web developers to fine tune the servers and replicate production servers. Also WampServer is good to use in production server if the server is windows platform. Wampserver 64 bit edition is also really good for high performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only thing i dislike is wamp server forum, its not adding much value when developers are stuck with some problem. Apart from forum, all is good. In some cases we felt, wampserver website homepage need to have upgraded UX, currently UX of the wampserver.com website is not that great. Also wamp homepage that pops up while starting the server need to have overall UX improvement. These are the only things which i dislike. All other seems good and efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
