A scalable and stable solution that's been around for a long time
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 has a convenient user interface."
  • "The overall performance could be improved — it loads slowly at times."

What is our primary use case?

As a manager, I use Windows 10 daily. We also use Windows Excel and PowerPoint. We mainly use Windows 10 for email-related needs. We also use Microsoft Windows code to do some technical programming.

Within our organization, there are roughly six to seven thousand employees using Windows 10. 

We will definitely continue to use Windows 10.

What is most valuable?

Windows 10 has a convenient user interface. Windows has been around for a long time so we're well aware of the features it offers and how to use them properly. From this perspective, it's convenient for me.

What needs improvement?

The overall performance could be improved — it loads slowly at times. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for seven to eight years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It didn't use to be stable, but nowadays, it is. Still, it could always be more stable.

What about the implementation team?

What other advice do I have?

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Windows 10 a rating of eight. 

I would recommend Windows 10 to others. We use Windows 10 because we were mandated to by our organization. Whether they are capable or not, it doesn't really matter. You'll have to use it because it has been mandated by your organization.

User-friendly and is updated regularly, but the security needs to be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "It is easy to operate and perform any tasks."
  • "If you need servers to be deployed in a production environment then you definitely want to look at a different operating system."

What is our primary use case?

We are a service company and we use a variety of products that are guided by the clients' requirements. Windows 10 is one of the operating systems that we use for this.

I like the fact that it is user-friendly. It is easy to operate and perform any tasks.

It is easy to train others in the use of Windows 10.

What needs improvement?

If you need servers to be deployed in a production environment then you definitely want to look at a different operating system. From an end-user point of view, I don't see in issues in using Windows.

Improvements should be made to security, making it more resistant to hacking and malware.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for more than five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you are looking at production systems then you are definitely going to have an issue with Windows. For normal users that don't require much in terms of system capacity, it is okay. It is quite manageable from the perspective of a normal user.

We are a small organization and everybody uses Windows.

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

We also use Linux, depending on the client.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to understand.

What other advice do I have?

They have been evolving Windows 10 since it was released. Every time we open it, there is something new. It used to be that email and other utilities were on the system, but now they are cloud-based. Whether the older or newer interfaces are better, or not, doesn't matter because you get used to it and move along.

In summary, Windows 10 is a good operating system and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Good in all aspects
Pros and Cons
  • "I find all the features valuable — Windows 10 is good on all aspects."

My primary use case is for running applications on my laptop, for both personal and business use. 

What is most valuable?

I find all the features valuable — Windows 10 is good in all aspects.

The Windows driver can be cranky sometimes. Sometimes the mouse won't work or the driver software gets cranky and stops working, so I have to reboot. This is the only annoying problem I've had with Windows. The driver's performance could be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for about two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

How was the initial setup?

Mostly stable and setup isn't complicated
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations."
  • "At the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen."

For how long have I used the solution?

This is a new laptop, so I've been using it for less than a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't had any issues with my system. But at the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen. I believe it was a patch update in February at the beginning of the year, if I'm not mistaken. So, we were getting a lot of calls. Yeah, that was the only issue I found. But otherwise, Windows was totally fine because we are all familiar with it.

How are customer service and support?

So far, Microsoft support has been okay. But then again, we have in-house support. So, before it goes to the Microsoft team, most issues are handled by our team. We have a structured support team, so I haven't had any problems so far.

How was the initial setup?

Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations. It's not something normal users deal with. So if you ask an average user, they might say it's a bit complex, but otherwise, no.

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

We primarily use yearly subscriptions because organizations prefer bundled packages that you pay for annually. We also recommend that. Who wants to pay every month?

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
