We found the device easy to set up and were impressed with the wide range of tools included for advanced users. Unfortunately, the Micro Webserver has weak points, such as the lack of a backup utility and sparse documentation that will confuse new users and leave more advanced ones unaware of its full capabilities. As with the WebZerver, the Micro Webserver provides some level of expandability via a SCSI port to connect additional storage devices. We found ease of setup to be the Micro Webserver's strong suit.
Cisco is the only vendor here that provides color-coded ports and cables to eliminate mistakes.
Once configured, the administrative wizard makes quick and easy work of setting up user accounts and Web pages. Advanced user administration, such as setting up aliases and access controls, is performed through a Java-based configuration utility. Though all the products provide this capability, the Micro Webserver is the only unit that provides a GUI to do so. But we found the utility to be awkward and slow, taking more than 30 seconds to load. Beyond establishing users and pages, the Micro Webserver doesn't provide much assistance for content publishing.
