What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem.

It's pretty much used by everybody in the company. That's likely 1000 or more users. 

How are customer service and support?

It's my understanding that we don't really need technical support. Everything seems to be working. Microsoft, quality wise, if you take a look at it, has less of a likelihood of facing any quality slippage that would affect the whole operating system. It's very reliable. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have always used Windows. I did not use any other solution.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was handled by our IT team. I was not a part of that process. Therefore, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was. However, my understanding is that it went pretty well. 

We have a centralized team of five to ten people that handle deployment and maintenance on this and many other solutions within the company.

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

The solution is pricey. If cost is a problem, users should look at Linux.

We paid for the solution one time and don't have any recurring fees. 

What other advice do I have?

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

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with the product.

I would recommend the solution, however, I don't really need to. People prefer Microsoft. It's not me recommending the solution that will make people buy it. It is already a market leader and it doesn't require any help remaining so.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Bug and glitch free
Pros and Cons
  • "I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution."
  • "Setup and use between multiple monitors should be easier."

What is our primary use case?

I don't know which version we are using. 

We don't use the solution for anything specific. 

What is most valuable?

I cannot think of any specific features which stand out to me. 

What needs improvement?

Setup and use between multiple monitors should be easier. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I don't know exactly how long I have been using Windows 10, likely a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While I cannot say for sure, it seems that the scalability has been okay thus far. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I am not aware of any use having been made of technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in the setup. This was already handled by my IT department

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

I don't know how much we paid for the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I have no idea how many are using the solution in our organization, although I assume this would include everybody, meaning 1,200 or 1,500 people. 

I have no specific advice to offer. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten.

A scalable and easy to use solution
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use."
  • "The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better."

What is our primary use case?

We mainly use the solution in the cloud for discovering all of its applications. We also use it for identification purposes and either to block access or unauthenticate updated applications.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use.

It serves many functions. User accounts can be identified in Windows 10. It offers performance and functionality. Sensitive data which is deployed in one's application can be set in his policy. 

What needs improvement?

In contrast to Windows 11, the 10 version could have improved functionality. 

The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better. 

The space utilization is not sufficient and there are too many notifications for the user. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Windows 10 for three or four years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. It can be applied to as many PCs as one likes. 

How are customer service and technical support?

One of the good things about Microsoft is that the support is there, although the time it takes to respond and to resolve the issue could be improved upon. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

The good thing about Windows 10 is that it's from Microsoft. I have also used iOS, which is from Apple, as well as Android, from Samsung. So too, I have used macOS Sierra, like MacBook OS, in addition to Ubuntu. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation lasts a couple of hours, so it would be better if this could be accomplished within a few minutes. 

What about the implementation team?

It is possible to do deployment and maintenance with the use of system administrators. 

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

The solution comes with a licensing fee. 

What other advice do I have?

Windows 10 is deployed on one's PC. 

As the solution is from Microsoft, I would definitely recommend its use. 

Our organization has more than 100 users who are making use of the solution.

As Windows 10 is from Microsoft, I rate it as a nine-point-five out of ten.

For basic use, the solution is very stable and the performance is good.

It's a product that is easy to use.

The initial setup is pretty simple. 

What needs improvement?

While the stability is okay, it could always be better.

The product needs to be able to scale a bit more effectively.

I've been in touch with technical support and find them to be decent. I have no complaints. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is very straightforward. It's not difficult or complex. It's very easy.

I've done a few deployments at this point. I'm pretty comfortable with the process. 

I cannot recall how long the deployment takes, however. 

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

I do not pay for a full license.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's good for basic use.

Easy to use for everyone, simple installation, but expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use. It is the most used operating system in the world."
  • "The solution can improve by making it more private and allowing users to know what operations are going on in the background code."

What is our primary use case?

Windows 10 can be used for running personal or business applications.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use. It is the most used operating system in the world.

What needs improvement?

The solution can improve by making it more private and allowing users to know what operations are going on in the background code. More transparency is needed. For example, there is a project called Purism which is a Linux operating system that comes in a form of a phone or a laptop. Their focus is transparency, if I wanted to know what exactly is happening on my device, I can always go to the project documentation and take a look for my peace of mind.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately five years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Everyone in my organization is using this solution.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have never needed to open a ticket with the Microsoft technical team.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Purism Linux.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is simple and anyone could do it.

What about the implementation team?

We have a team that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

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

The solution can be expensive for businesses to use Microsoft Windows 10.

What other advice do I have?

I would not recommend Windows 10 personally, but because it is the most used operating system, most employees in an organization would adapt to it quickly. They are familiar with it. 

It is good to look at alternatives and evaluate. At the same time never underestimate the effect of rejection that end users can have if you change the technology.

I would advise others using Windows solutions to invest heavily in the security products, they are the most used operating system. That does not make it less secure than other operating systems but it makes it more targeted. When it is more targeted you will have more vulnerabilities and therefore it is really important to focus on the security aspects when it comes to Windows infrastructure.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

Is used by most and is easy to install
Pros and Cons
  • "The best thing is that all are using it and that there are some applications like Power BI that are only in Windows and not in any other environment."
  • "We have a lot of different hardware that has to communicate, and sometimes, the Windows drivers get overloaded."

What is our primary use case?

I use it mainly for development and also for teaching and training.

What is most valuable?

The best thing is that all are using it and that there are some applications like Power BI that are only in Windows and not in any other environment.

What needs improvement?

We have a lot of different hardware that has to communicate, and sometimes, the Windows drivers get overloaded.

So, the performance could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using it for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

During these past two years, Windows has crashed only once on my computer.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use Ubuntu Linux on my own computer.

How was the initial setup?

It was easy to install Windows 10. It did take quite long, about five hours, because a lot of data had to be downloaded, and several reboots were needed.

What about the implementation team?

I installed it myself.

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

I have a corporate license.

What other advice do I have?

Because it's very good, I would rate Windows 10 at nine on a scale from one to ten.

I'm using the oldest development environment for business informatics. So, for those not interested in gaming or in graphic design, especially for all business users, I strongly recommend Windows 10.
