Windows 10 Reviews

We are using Windows 10 for general use.

Some things that I like about Windows 10 are its GUI, its performance is good, and it has many features.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say that the most critical thing is security, including the ransomware.

I have been using Windows 10 for around three years.

Our company has a policy to use the latest update.

It is generally reliable.

Windows 10 is scalable.

We have more than 100 people using it.

Customer support is good in my experience.

The initial setup is simple.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Windows 10 an eight.

I have using Windows 10 to run personal applications.

The solution has high performance and is easy to work with.

In a new release, Microsoft could improve their Internet Explorer browser. It does not work as well for all sites as other browsers do, such as Google Chrome.

I have been using Windows 10 within the last 12 months.

Windows 10 is stable and reliable.

We have approximately 4,000 people in my organization using this solution.

The installation is straightforward and takes approximately one hour.

Our IT team does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

Windows 10 is an operating system that all our applications run on. It's basically for my personal purposes at home.

The features that I have found most valuable are that it is user-friendly.

In terms of what could be improved, it could have more integration and a better pricing plan. Additionally, it could be more secure and have more dashboards.

I have been using Windows 10 for about 9 years or so.

It is definitely stable, has good navigation, is easy to use, and has an intuitive design.

I can't say if it is scalable.

I was on Linux before using Windows 10.

It is very easy to install. It usually takes a couple of minutes.

I did it myself.

It's a yearly license.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Windows 10 an eight.

I'm primarily using the solution for running my personal applications. I use it on my laptop and my applications run off of Windows 10.

It's like any Windows version. You can run whatever programs you need on it. 

It's easy to use. Everybody knows Windows. I've got a good level of familiarity with it. The user interface is intuitive.

The solution is stable. I've found the scalability to be good.

I do not recall coming across any missing features. Just like any other Windows product, it's great. I can't think of anything else to add.

Like all Windows products or like all the Microsoft products, like Office, it's priced a bit on the higher side.

I've been using the solution for five years at this point.

The stability of the product is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is very good. If a person needs to expand it, it can.

Right now, I'm only using the solution myself for personal usage.

I've never contacted technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they might be.

I've only ever used Windows. I did not previously use a different solution.

I didn't have to install it at all. It came pre-installed on my laptop. Therefore, I cannot speak to the installation process and if it is difficult or simple. 

Windows is pretty expensive. They could work to price it lower. 

I have a lifetime license. You purchase it once and you don't have to think about it again.

I have the solution deployed on my laptop. I'm using the latest version of the solution at this time. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'm pretty happy with its capabilities.

I primarily use the solution for work purposes. 

In terms of my company, it's giving me a Windows laptop, so that is why I'm using it. I can say that Microsoft Office works really well in Windows rather than on any other OS.

Many people are using Windows 10. There wouldn't be much if any compatibility issues when you have to share any information.

You can actually mirror your phones on Windows, without installing meaning third-party applications, which I really liked.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The solution scales well.

Technical support seem to be helpful. 

I generally have a better user experience using macOS than Windows. 

I could actually see a lot of bugs and glitches. The performance of Windows is not that great.

They could optimize the OS for all devices.

If they could avoid the constant bombarding of the updates, which happens, that would be appreciated.

The stability isn't ideal. There are bugs and glitches. I've seen performance issues. This, of course, is in comparison to Mac, which is largely problem-free. 

The scalability is pretty good, actually. When it comes to the enterprise solutions that Windows offers, scalability is never an issue.

We have around 250 people on the solution right now. 

We do have plans to increase usage. We may end up doubling it.

I haven't used Microsoft support directly, however, in terms of the people who are setting it up in my company, they are good with the support on offer and are satisfied with the service they get. They will get back to you with an answer. 

We've always used Windows. We did not use anything else previously. 

The initial setup is pretty easy as people know the system and are comfortable with Windows - especially when it comes to server management. And whenever they want to control any other appliances, Windows is the way to go.

That said, I'm not sure how long the deployment process actually took.

In my company, likely three people were involved with the initial setup. They also handle maintenance. 

There is an ROI in terms of being able to upgrade. You can upgrade your hardware or the solution every five years or so. 

I would not say it's expensive. It has an extensive range of options. If you're just looking at the OS perspective, there is no comparison. 

You don't know how much does a macOS costs you, as it comes with the hardware. I would say that, with the performance that Windows delivers, it's not justifiable that Windows is charging the money they do. That said, I would say that it is not expensive. 

There might be a Windows setup fee when you buy the license, however, I am not 100% certain this is the case. 

Our company uses the product. I am just an end-user. 

I'm pretty neutral in terms of recommending it to anyone. There are pros and cons. 

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. 

It's an operating system that is used for everything.

It is easy to use.

It could have faster updates.

I have been using Windows 10 since it was launched, in 2015.

I don't have any issues with the stability of Windows 10.

Windows 10 is a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. We haven't been faced with many issues.

We have not used any other operating system.

It was very easy to install.

It took two or three hours to complete the installation.

We did not need a team, consultant, or integrator to help install this solution. We were able to do it ourselves.

There are no monthly or yearly licensing fees.

It is paid one time only when Windows is activated.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

We like that the patches are automatic. It takes away a lot of the administrative burden, from a security point of view, on the environment. You do not really need to worry about patch management on a Windows 10 machine, as it automatically does it. Those are the benefits that we see from a management point of view.

For personal or professional setups, the solution works well.

The solution is stable.

We find the solution to be quite scalable. 

It does what it's meant to do. You don't want the platform to do anything more than what it's doing at the moment. It gives you the analytics. It gives you the right security posture. You can draw on it. It can integrate with other solutions. 

What we like about the stack of products is if you manage it on a management console, it cuts across the enterprise. That's a benefit in terms of your rollout strategy. It's quicker to deploy, easier to deploy, and it definitely affects the user to a large degree. It doesn't consume too many resources on your endpoint.

Technical support is great in South Africa.

The whole point of Microsoft is it's a phenomenal stack of products. However, Microsoft must realize that it's operating in Africa. We cannot pay US dollars. For the cost of Microsoft Windows 10, it's just not affordable for the majority of the population in South Africa. Who's going to spend that amount of money when people are barely affording to live? It's costly.

I've been using the solution for the last 18 months. It's been over a year so far. 

The stability of the solution is very good. there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is good. If a company needs to expand the product, it can do so.

W have 50 users on Microsoft right now. 

In South Africa, we have great technical support from Microsoft. It comes down to the training and the availability of resources and that is great.

We did not previously use a different solution. We've always used Microsoft.

The deployment is very easy. The initial setup is simple. There are zero hassles. 

I didn't do the installation personally, however, I know we just did a deployment for about 50 users, and it took us about a day to deploy it.

You can do it just by yourself. The guidelines and the training and so forth that Microsoft provides for users are great. If you follow that, it's great. From a Microsoft point of view, if you follow the step-by-step guide, it's easy to deploy. You don't need an integrator or consultant. 

The solution is overpriced for the region.

We pay a licensing fee on a monthly basis. 

I'm just a customer or an end-user.

As a cloud-based solution, we're using the latest version of the product.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been happy with its capabilities in general. 

We would recommend the solution to other users. 

We are primarily using the solution to run various Microsoft applications and Microsoft 365. 

The product is stable and reliable. The performance is very good.

We have found the solution to be quite easy to use. It's user-friendly and simple to navigate around. 

The product is very scalable.

Technical support is very good. 

The solution could offer better integration capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while. 

The stability of the product is excellent. The performance is great. There are no bugs or glitches and  don't recall it ever crashing or freezing. 

We have found the solution to be scalable. IF a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem at all. 

In my organization, there are about 350 users that use the product.

We've contacted technical support in the past and they were good. They are helpful and responsive. I was satisfied with the level of service on offer. 

We did not previously use a different operating system. We have always used Microsoft.

I did not personally handle the initial setup and therefore cannot speak to how straightforward or difficult the process was, or how long it took.

I'm not sure how many technical team members are needed to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. 

Our IT team handled the installation process for us.

We do pay a yearly licensing fee. I cannot speak to the exact terms or costs, however. 

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We have enjoyed using it over the years. We are satisfied with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to other organizations.

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for any type of office work - emails, remote connectivity, document management, storage and the like. I'm an associate partner. 

From a user standpoint, the GUI has been enhanced as well as some add-ons with respect to news, forecasts, GPS. I think overall there are some good features and it has the single click advantage. Also, the entire integration supports the 365 Suite.

I'd like to see some sort of technical notification service reminder regarding hardware health. It's a feature that could help because I get quite a lot of Microsoft Office crashes. It asks whether you want to report them and then the notification disappears into thin air. I also think that task manager needs to be a little more graphical in nature, with more user analytics and I'd also like to know usages so I can run an operating system sometimes, multitasking, things like that. There are sometimes connectivity issues when there is any sort of power fluctuation with the adapter or from the main, and I think that area needs improvement. If there are power surges, or the adapter is not able to send the required power to the BIOS, there should be alerts. The other big one for me is integration with the hardware so that, for example, a user can know if there's a problem of dead pixels on the screen, some sort of predictive analytics on that front would be helpful. 

I've been using this solution for about three years. 

The solution is stable despite some crashes that I've experienced. On the whole it's performance has improved and optimization-wise, the issues are not generally visible to the end user. 

They've done a good job from a scalability perspective because if you look at the different systems that are enabled, the operating system does a good job.

I recommend this solution, it's been tried and tested over years and I am very comfortable with it. At the end of the day, it's about affordability, and Microsoft OS stands out from that perspective.

I rate the solution eight out of 10. 

I employ the solution for normal use, such as the running of personal applications and internet Office. 

While we have patches on a monthly basis, the solution could be more secure. Overall, the solution is good for me. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a couple of years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is definitely scalable. 

We have support but do not have experience with them. 

It was never a question of us using Windows, as we have always done so. We do not wish to use Linux and do not use Citrix for our users, but only for disaster recovery. 

Installation does not pose an issue for us, as we employ a CCM and make use of the master. 

We can do this on our own with the assistance of a consultant. 

We need fewer than 10 people for the deployment and maintenance, consisting of several engineers. 

The solution is good for me. 

There are around 600 or 650 people making use of the solution in my organization. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten.
