I like the security for transmitting information with SSL and TLS, it is open source, free, and cross-platform.

It adapts very well to computers with very low resources where you can have a web server or proxy easily and Linux distribution, all free and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Server is the best free, stable, cross-platform web server system I know, but it is difficult to configure with so many code instructions we have to provide for its proper functioning. When the server fails, it is difficult to find the error with so many instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Install your web server for free and secure with Apache Server, you will have very high security and good stability, with many programs available and compatible with this great program, it has a very large community with experienced professionals in this program publishing and improving every day more.

Very little negative I found in this software, perhaps it is a bit difficult to configure, it really is a problem since there is no guide that allows user guidance. Also I could see that there are typographical errors in the error notification messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

It provides the easiest and comfortable environment to serve an application. Most of the default configuration provided in the initial setup is enough for most of the deployment requirements. Further the modification of the configurations also require a small effort of modifying the centralized configuration file. It only demands a simple directory structure to render the user interface components compared to other server frameworks which require pretty complex and strict directory structure for development and user interface rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

Feels like it lacks of some security measurement due to the provided increased flexibility to the developers. Providing a much easiest configuration environment leads to inappropriate and vulnerable deployment configurations. Also introduces a vulnerability to some unauthorized access to the deployment environment. Since it allows a much flexible directory structure for the deployment it is difficult to create a strong development architecture and maintaining the cleanness of the architecture. Developers tends to extend the architecture in an ugly way due to the given flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache HTTP Server Project:

If you are starting your product or service with a less experience development team then definitely Apache would be the first choice for the starting point. You can follow a very fast development cycle with Apache even using a less experience development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache HTTP Server Project solving and how is that benefiting you?

A back end service API to store, process and create the visualizing component for data sent from a sensor network.

Retail and business processing systems to manage transactions processing.

Small endpoint APIs to make connections between IoT devices.

A service API to handle the community members engagement with a GitHub repository.

Apache server provides easy means to extend the capabilities to extend the deployment the software.

Pretty fast to handle the frequent sensor data loads.

Little amount of work during the deployment of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid http platform for intranet document distribution systems. This iteration of Apache is bundled with PHP, MySQL, MariaDB for Windows Server -- WAMP. It takes a few days to tweak httpd, and several .ini files for tuning, but once accomplished, Apache is a solid performer sitting atop Windows Server 2012 R2.

Numerous typographical errors, principally in error messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HTTP Server Project?

It is in my opinion an excellent web page server that allows you to use it in the PHP, Python and Java language, the most common are also handled by others, you can use this in different databases such as MySQL, in another aspect how adaptable it is to working in the windows and unix environments makes it very attractive.

I can say that I keep control of access or restrictions by the security policies that I can implement, and give predetermined access to different pages.

The use of open source software which allows me to see if there is a security failure gives me a reliability and the best e are in continuous updates, its cost is free, its work by module makes it easy to configure and I practice even if you are starting to work on it. Apache is not a new server but it has earned its place in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HTTP Server Project?

I have no complaints of Apache has been very good for what I have needed, what can be is that if you are newbie it will not be very practical and you will have to invest time in learning to use but the Good is so you have to dedicate your weather. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
