We can differentiate between Apache server and IIS server with various features as follow-

  
Feature Apache Tomcat IIS
(1) OS dependency LINUX, Windows, OS/2 Windows
(2) Hardware support Numerous that are supported by aforesaid OS Only those hardwares which are supported by windows
(3) GUI support for server administration No Yes
(4) HTTP 1.1 Yes No
(5) SSL 2.0/3.0 Restricted Yes
(6) Source code Open source Not open source

Apache is far better server than IIS server due to its larger support and portability. Apache is freely available and customizable upto big extent while IIS is paid and provide less customization options.
