A flexible and stable solution with good performance, but updates should be faster and easier
Pros and Cons
  • "The performance works very well and the solution is flexible and stable."
  • "The updates are excessively long and take an entire hour during startup, which is ridiculous."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the latest version.

I use the solution as an operating system for my notebook. 

What is most valuable?

The performance works very well and the solution is flexible and stable. 

What needs improvement?

The updates are excessively long and take an entire hour during startup, which is ridiculous. The solution also does not provide the option of installing updates. There should be an option to restart without needing an update. 

I don't like the problem with the updates. The user must restart after downloading an update, but no option is given to do the installation at a later point. This means that the user is faced with the choice of either restarting when he updates or shutting down when he does so. With the former this can take an hour to an hour-and-a-half. This makes no sense. 

In short, the updates could be faster and better performing.

While Microsoft does a good job, this is an issue which must be addressed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since its release in 2015. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I don't have any issues with the technical support. It's good. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very easy. 

It takes no more than a few minutes. 

What about the implementation team?

I handled the implementation on my own. \

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We already have a license for Windows 10 in our role as Microsoft partners. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

It's good for running business applications and remote desktop connections
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 is stable, but you need to install system updates constantly and download new antivirus definitions to avoid getting into any trouble."
  • "One of my colleagues said Microsoft doesn't have a good record for the license. If the license gets lost, there isn't a dashboard where I can register my license and use it via the dashboard. We are looking for a dashboard like that."

What is our primary use case?

I mostly use Windows 10 to run Microsoft Office. I also use it for remote desktop connections.

What needs improvement?

One of my colleagues said Microsoft doesn't have a good record for the license. If the license gets lost, there isn't a dashboard where I can register my license and use it via the dashboard. We are looking for a dashboard like that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 10 since it was first released. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is stable, but you need to install system updates constantly and download new antivirus definitions to avoid getting into any trouble.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Windows 10 is scalable. We have around 10,000 users at my company. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never contacted Microsoft support. Our engineering department takes care of that.

The company's tech team handles the installation, so I'm unsure.

If you install and maintain it correctly, you'll never have problems with stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The things I like most about Windows 10 are its stability and ease of use."
  • "They try to make it user-friendly for non-technical users. But, when you have a little bit of technical experience, you find it difficult to go around UI wrapper."

What is our primary use case?

I use the personal website suite to do some developments on more minor applications or test some of the topics. The professional version of Windows 10 allows multiple users, and it's a bit more challenging to work with that on the home version. The virtualization capabilities and the segregation of the processes are much better. You can stop, start, and control various things due to its support for advanced scripting and stuff like that. 

What is most valuable?

The things I like most about Windows 10 are its stability and ease of use. 

What needs improvement?

The Windows 10 interface should work more like a tablet, where you do not have to run the program directly. You need to remember the program name by heart and type it into the search or run it in the command prompt. For example, if you want to go directly to the old school install/uninstall programs, it takes a lot of clicks.

They try to make it user-friendly for non-technical users. But, when you have a little bit of technical experience, you find it difficult to go around UI wrapper.  

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 10 since it first appeared on the market. I use the professional version instead of the home version because it offers me more flexibility, and I'm satisfied with it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you install and maintain Windows 10 correctly, you'll never have problems with stability.

How are customer service and support?

I called Microsoft once or twice when I changed computers because my license is for a specific PC. I haven't had to call them for anything else. In general, I was satisfied with their support, but I only had to call them for a tiny thing. 

How was the initial setup?

I just switched to a new PC, and it's something stupid in their installation key. I bought the PC without a Windows 10 license. Usually, when I run the setup, I mount the image to a USB, and it's a simple "next, next, finish" installation. Unfortunately, the drivers to see the new SSD hard disks were not covered in the initial key. 

It took me two hours to figure out that I needed to use another PC to download the driver and put the drivers on the original USB stick for Windows. And that was stupid because what if you do not have another PC? You have the original license, the PC, and you cannot make them work together. When the installer asked for the location, I could not see the installation steps on the hard drive. Maybe it's because I had a newer SSD with a particular Intel chipset. God knows what. I spent hours reading scanning forums to find out a small article on a corner of the internet that told me which chipsets I had on the new PC and the necessary driver.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I think the Windows 10 license is affordable. There are no additional costs unless you want to buy subscriptions to OneDrive services and Microsoft Office. I have subscriptions for those services. It doesn't cost much, and I pay it yearly.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 a 10 out of 10. However, I don't have much experience with other operating systems to compare it to.

I work with the latest update. 

I use the solution for the usual stuff, such as email and office applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been personally using Windows 10 for more than 20 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I like the solution's stability. I feel this to be good. We are talking about a stable product. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I like the solution's scalability and find it easy to scale. 

How are customer service and support?

I have made use of Microsoft support and found it to be good. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was simple.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the deployment internally.

The only maintenance required involves regular updates. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

While the licensing costs of Windows 10 certainly exceed those of other operating systems, as far as the product, its performance and its wide range of usage goes, it is fine. It's worth the price. 

The reason we incur a cost in excess of the licensing fee is because we pay for Premium support, which is fine by us.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The UI, user interface, sets Windows 10 apart from other solutions. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is deployed on my computer, laptop and in the cloud. 

There are more than 10,000 people making use of the solution in our organization. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
