What do you like best about Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Core?

Windows Server 2016 Core, a streamlined variant of the Windows Server OS, offering several benefits compared to the GUI installation. A notable advantage is its reduced attack surface: by fewer components and services, it diminishes the potential entry points for cyber threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Core?

No GUI: Windows Server Core lacks a graphical interface, complicating tasks for GUI-oriented admins.

Learning Curve: Requires command-line expertise, a challenge for novices.

Setup Complexity is another challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

This inherently enhances security, making it particularly valuable for internet-facing servers. Furthermore, the leaner design contributes to reduced maintenance demands. The need for updates and patches is minimized, simplifying the patching process and decreasing downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
