Long-term analytics have improved tracking of digital task performance and user adoption
Strategy and development strategy are heavily focused on AI, and I think that for medium and small organizations which don't have a very vast IT stack, this might be the right approach. However, for big enterprises, WalkMe should focus more on developing their existing features and capabilities with the main focus on data and analytics, which feels like it has been stalled for quite some time. Over the past two years, there has not really been any groundbreaking development in that area. I think that the limited integration capability of WalkMe with the back end of the underlying applications is a limitation. On the other hand, the easy configuration and lack of the need for backend or more thorough technical integration is a huge positive aspect of WalkMe, but it is also its biggest weakness because the ability to pull in additional data from other systems is limited. Because it is not a perfect product, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to the development of new features and the further development of the key capabilities. It is by far the leading digital adoption platform in the market, setting the example and leading the entire industry. I think that it does not deserve a rating of 10 because I was able to identify the room for improvement, but I would also like to recognize their position in the market.

Collaborative development has become more secure and efficient for our team
We have faced some issues with Windows OneDrive because if one developer has a folder in a common OneDrive folder, it took some time to show it to others. It becomes somewhat difficult to work, as there is latency on that, so if you update that, it will be more efficient and useful for the developers. My main focus on Windows 10 is the giving of regular updates, so it might take some time to update Windows, which is also mandatory. As a developer, when we are working with Windows 10, if it takes more time to update and restart the PC, it affects our efficiency at work. If we could stop the updates on a regular basis or if they were delivered faster, it would be easier. As a developer, the frequent updates are too annoying for working on it, so it would be better if we stop the frequent updates and only provide the most important ones. Performance issues over time due to background apps and programs piling up and using an SSD instead of a hard disk are also concerns.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"There is always scope to improve WalkMe. The interactions and the UI interaction could improve somewhat."
"Occasionally the system runs a little slowly, which can be frustrating to some of our fast paced end users, but that is more due to the robust number of Walk Thrus our team has created."
"I found a flaw, and nobody believed me."

"The solution could be faster and demonstrate better performance. It is a bit on the slow side."

Hi thereThanks for the question. WalkMe is best for staff-facing applications that are constantly updating and are complex and or require interaction with multiple systems. Helping staff to complete end-to-end workflows to complete their tasks- Not so this applies to W10

We use a tool called HP SA. It requires an agent installed on the client side. HP SA can be setup to download all MS patches ever week when they are released by MS. Then via patching policy you can build and rollout out your own custom patch policy to each of your clients or groups of your clients. Windows 2012, windows 10, Rhel, CentOS, ESXi etc. I do agree change tools are important I would just base the need on the amount of money I need to speed to automate this process to an extent. Have you tired a WSUS server for some Microsoft patch remediation of Microsoft OS's. It's mostly for server but I do believe MS has docs out there to setup for desktops as well.

I don’t have idea for this tools, in our company we use WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) and SCCM to push updates into desktops. Best Regards Abderrahmane BRIEDJ
