Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.1
Google Chrome Enterprise support is generally well-regarded but varies, with online resources being widely utilized by users.
Sentiment score
4.6
Users often use online forums and resources for Windows 10 support, experiencing mixed satisfaction with Microsoft's technical support.
The online support often redirects us to FAQs instead of connecting to a real person.
There could be more detailed guidance on new installations like Google Authenticator, as the process is often vague and lacks fine-tuned information.
There are features regarding QR code setup, compatibility, and security.
We have informed Microsoft, but the issue is still there, and it has been more than three to four months.
The customer service and support from Microsoft are quite responsive and generally good.
The Office 365 support is good, it takes a while sometimes to point to the problem, but they're good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.9
Google Chrome Enterprise is praised for seamless scalability and efficiency, supporting organizations of any size with minimal resources.
Sentiment score
5.2
Windows 10 is widely seen as scalable for diverse organizations, supporting both personal and enterprise environments efficiently.
Firefox is slightly more efficient as it uses less memory.
I would just need to move the container I have set up on Cloud Run to a VM or cluster, which could be straightforward.
For scalability, I would rate it a nine or ten because performance-wise, Windows 10 has never given me those issues.
I can increase the licensing amount easily when there is company growth or when new people join.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.6
Google Chrome Enterprise is highly stable and reliable, with minor instability on i3 processors under heavy tab usage.
Sentiment score
6.4
Windows 10 is stable and reliable with minimal issues, though updates may sometimes temporarily affect performance and stability.
I consider Google Chrome Enterprise to be both stable and scalable.
Google Chrome Enterprise is stable, and I haven't faced any stability problems.
The challenges were related to third-party agents and their supportability.
I would rate the stability of the product an eight.
 

Room For Improvement

Chrome Enterprise users seek improved performance, efficient features, clearer plugin costs, better integration, and enhanced security with availability concerns.
Windows 10 needs better update management, intuitive design, stronger security, improved performance, platform integration, flexible pricing, and support.
If we have a laptop with basic configuration, it eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the system.
This causes hesitation in installing them due to concerns about hidden costs and inadequate information.
Regarding Google Chrome Enterprise improvements, they need to declare some security details; they are applying security but not publishing the details about the security applied.
Microsoft can improve their Teams product because everybody uses Teams, and it's very clunky and unfriendly in terms of scrolling back, downloading files, and moving back and forth within the different teams.
Investment in Windows 10 may not be ideal as the world is changing with advancing technology in the AI age.
The transitions within Teams are not smooth, and call quality in meetings is not great.
 

Setup Cost

Google Chrome Enterprise offers competitive pricing with flexible options, appreciated for its security, maintenance ease, and reputable support.
Enterprise Windows 10 pricing varies widely, influenced by licensing models, with users seeking simpler, more transparent and affordable options.
It's a bit on the higher side, but we prefer to stick with it because of the security, ease of maintenance, and the company's reputation.
The interface is optimized in terms of the UI and user experience.
For those buying a Windows license, it might be better to buy a Windows 11 license.
Windows is considered overpriced, especially given the normal software functionalities.
Windows 10 is cost-effective when compared to other competitors available such as Mac and Linux.
 

Valuable Features

Google Chrome Enterprise offers robust security, centralized management, and seamless integration, prioritizing speed and scalability for efficient organizational use.
Windows 10 features a user-friendly interface, robust security, high performance, and enhances productivity with intuitive multitasking and seamless integration.
The best aspects of Google Chrome Enterprise are its compatibility with everything, smooth management, and frequent security patching, which I find nice to use.
The security it offers is an advantage, which is crucial for us due to HIPAA compliance concerns.
Google Chrome Enterprise is my preferred browser over Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
When using mapping software such as QGIS or ArcGIS, the system remains stable, especially when handling heavy files.
The configuration management tools, such as SACM, are effective.
Windows 11 brings some AI features for Microsoft Copilot, which probably weren't as integrated into the previous version.

Featured Reviews

Sheharyar Akhtar - PeerSpot reviewer
User interface has improved navigation but demands clearer organization for consistent workflows
There is one product for operating system called Google Chrome OS Flex. Google Chrome Enterprise generally updates in the background with a button that appears for relaunching to update. The updates are frequent, occurring every two or three days. While tab history is saved, it can be inconvenient to close and reopen all tabs. When an update occurs, a button appears on Google Chrome Enterprise indicating the need to relaunch. This requires closing all Chrome windows before updating. Google Chrome Enterprise is simple to install. For Google Cloud services, installation is not necessary as services are created directly on the cloud. It is currently running on public cloud. I don't have anything deployed on other clouds, only GCP. I have rated this solution 6 out of 10.
Arjun Meda - PeerSpot reviewer
User appreciates ease of use but desires improvements in pricing and update process
I do not find Windows 10 compatible with my applications as I am not using any legacy applications. Regarding my experience with Windows 10, I was annoyed with updates that constantly make my PC restart. Additionally, the user interface could be more intuitive because it is sometimes too hard to find specific items.
