Any issue you faced after deployment of laravel application on IIS?
Is there any issue you faced after deployment, i want to know because, We are planing to move our current Laravel application to IIS, did that worked for you? please let me know any potential problems you might have faced. Thanks in advance.

Can you please explain your point in detail? Its client's requirement and they are the one who is going to manage hosting. My concern is there any particular issues which we probably can face while maintaining or any pros and cons of using IIS for Laravel.

The biggest con is that almost every tutorial or document about Laravel uses Apache or NginX. I would only use IIS if the application is built with .net. So if something doesn't work properly you will have a hard time finding resources online to help you.
I guess they are wanting to use MS SQL Server as well then rather than an open source solution like MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL.
The second con is licensing costs. Windows Server License + SQL Server need licenses. While a LEMP or LAMP is free of charge.
The third con is that while IIS is good at what is does it's not as configurable as a LAMP or LEMP.
And the fourth con is that you need a more powerful machine to run windows server than you would have using a linux server.
