What’s left to chip away?

This hasn’t been a real server since 10.6. Every version has chipped away at its functionality. Not sure what’s left to cut. What was once a consolidated, cohesive set of functions to operate a small business has dwindled to a degraded facsimilie of its former self. Seek alternatives.

Piece of CRAP

Not worth a dime since Apple left me high and dry after removing all the functionality form it. I had a small city using it, plus my own systems. What a disappointment. Apple should be paying you to put it on your computer, not you giving a dime to Apple.

Thanks, Apple

Was running Server 5.6.3 on High Sierra, but Profile Manager stopped working. Apple Support wasn't helpful, so tried to upgrade. Only OS available for download is Catalina, so I install that. Only Server version that is available is 5.10. I'm now stuck on Catalina and Server 5.10 REFUSES to upgrade the data from 5.6.3. If Apple would just allow users to download older versions, I would have stepped through each to get to current. Now I will be stuck rebuilding these servers this weekend. Again, thanks Apple - realy appreciate this.

Sad and Ridiculous

Years ago, an Apple Business Specialist convinced me that Apple was the way to go for our business. Now...Server is bare bones, broken, and doesn't do what it used to. Now I either need to switch to PCs for a better managed server environment, and spend a ton of money, or I forgo all the options Server used to bring. This is ridiculous and a terrible way to lead people on.

It’s not just a poor quality product.

The AppStore delivery will force obsolesence. You will never be able to get the version of Server you need in order to meet your organization’s SECURITY BASELINE. New APPLE operating systems NEVER MEET SECURITY CRITERIA, but you’ll never be able to download a copy of the server for the older operating systems that do. So that moment when you’re trying to use a known-good and secure bug-free version of this product, you’ll never even be able to get your hands on it because AppStore. This product is completely useless for administrators everywhere. 8 Apple Certifications and 27 years in the industry. I’ve never seen any computer company extend such a large middle finger at the people it’s supposed to support.

CrapWare

This has become complete crap. This use to be a great product but over time Apple has completely dumbed this down. Do not waste your money on this garbage!

Get it on a new mac then download on a old mac

The new version removed athe server functionality but if you go on OS X El Capitan and dwnload the older version you can use that as your server and it works real well. kind of sad to see them remove all of the functionality from the app instead of just of just not develop because the old version is still very good and works very well I set up my old MacBook Air as a server with this app and I have had no problems with it.

Literally Nothing Left

I was a long time user of theServer when it had services in it like a Web Server, VPN, LDAP etc. and I had bought it then which means I still have a license. Truth is if I could give it zero stars I would. There is litteraly nothing left in it that is of any use.
