Has a user-friendly interface
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is how friendly the interface is. I expect that we will soon go up to Windows 11 because it's already available."
  • "Windows 10 could be improved by implementing synchronization between Teams and Skype for Business. If you're in a conference call in one tool, the other tool shows that you're available. This means that you get calls from other people in your organization while you are unavailable. So synchronization is missing, that's all."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case is for daily office work. I use the full Microsoft 365 suite with Outlook, PowerPoint, all those tools. We have fully implemented Microsoft and don't use any third-party applications. Outlook is the main mail application, Teams and Lync are for communication, Word and PowerPoint are for editing, preparing documents, and presentation. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is how friendly the interface is. I expect that we will soon go up to Windows 11 because it's already available. 

What needs improvement?

Windows 10 could be improved by implementing synchronization between Teams and Skype for Business. If you're in a conference call in one tool, the other tool shows that you're available. This means that you get calls from other people in your organization while you are unavailable. So synchronization is missing, that's all. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

I have never contacted technical support. If I have a problem, I contact my IT department and they are the ones who contact Microsoft, but they know how to solve most problems. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation was very easy. I received a link from our IT department, clicked the link, and within a few minutes everything was up and running. You can do it yourself. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented myself. 

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

I'm unsure of cost or licensing because our IT department handles that. 

What other advice do I have?

Even though Microsoft won't need my recommendation because Windows is such a popular tool, I recommend this to anyone who is looking into implementing this solution. 

There are about 500 people in my organization using this solution. There is no team necessary for deployment and you spend almost no time on maintenance compared to the duration of time that you are using Windows. It's very simple. 

I would rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten. It's a perfect tool and the cost is very reasonable.
