An intuitive operating system that's stable and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support."
  • "It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well."

What is our primary use case?

Whenever we sell equipment with a personal computer, our customers request Windows 10, and we install it.

What is most valuable?

I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support.

What needs improvement?

It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. 

To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for five years or since it was available in the marketplace.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I personally think that it's a very stable operating system. We used to have several issues with other operating systems, but we don't have any issues with Windows 10. This is because the updates are made automatically, and we also have several ways to back up our work. Most of the time, I forget that there is any trouble on a laptop or the desktop.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think it's scalable. If you get legal licenses, you can move up to the new version without any problem. This is what we used to do.

How are customer service and support?

I contacted technical support once , and it was a very good experience.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple for me because I'm an IT integrator. However, I know that it's complicated for my customers just to install it. Most of the time, they don't want to learn how to do it. They always tell us to do it for them and to give it in ready-to-use mode.

What about the implementation team?

I'm an integrator and I install and deploy this solution. 

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

It's not cheap, and it's one of the inconveniences. Most of the time, we use group licensing, permitting us to install servers for three months. When we want to have personal licenses, it costs too much here in Senegal.

What other advice do I have?

I will recommend this solution because it's intuitive. Also, we have a Windows culture here, and people like to use it.

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

  • "Windows 10 is definitely stable."

What is our primary use case?

I use it on my laptop. I just use it for home usage — for personal purposes. Our company plans to increase our usage of Windows 10.

There should be better support for SQL servers. We haven't started using SQL yet, but when we do, we'll need proper support. 

Also, it could benefit from more integration.

I have been using Windows 10 for one year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is definitely stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't tried to scale it so I cannot comment on that. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I have never had to contact support for this solution. 

How was the initial setup?

I didn't install it myself; it came pre-installed on my laptop. 

What other advice do I have?

Reliable, easy to set up and to deploy
Pros and Cons
  • "It's stable for the most part. It's working fine."
  • "The connection with the Apple product could be better."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is to have an operational system that I can connect with my SAP logon so that I can do my job.

What is most valuable?

It's stable for the most part. It's working fine.

What needs improvement?

The connection with the Apple product could be better.

The integration could be improved.

The internet page is a bit difficult, the browser is not the best on the market, and it's not the fastest.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since it was released on the market.

We are using the latest version, and it's up-to-date.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Windows 10 is scalable.

We have approximately 30 users in our organization.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not contacted technical support.

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

Previously, I worked with all other Windows, except for Millennium and Windows 98.

I switched because there was no more support available and no optics.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and it took approximately 15 minutes to deploy.

At this time, we require only one person to maintain this solution. As we grow, we may require more.

What about the implementation team?

I completed the installation on my PC myself.

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

There are yearly costs.

For my home computer it's a lifetime license, only purchased once.

What other advice do I have?

I plan to continue using Windows 10.

For any who is interested in using this solution, my advice would be don't buy an Apple first.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A good product that's user-friendly and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "Even if users aren't very technical, they can use Windows."
  • "I've had some issues with a configuration that's given me trouble."

What is most valuable?

It's a very good product.

Even if users aren't very technical, they can use Windows. It's very user-friendly.

The stability is very good.

You can scale it if you need to.

What needs improvement?

I can't recall any aspect that I would consider improving. 

When it comes to Windows 11 specifically, you really have to have a good PC. You need to have a very good graphic card. Unfortunately, many PCs lack a good graphic card and therefore can't support it.

I've had some issues with a configuration that's given me trouble. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using Windows for a while. I've used it since 2010 or 2011. Before Windows 10 was Windows 7 and 8.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. there aren't issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You can scale the solution if you need to. It's very good.

What other advice do I have?

I'm certified with the product. The way we are using and we are selling it, I find that it's a good product.

I'm using both Windows 11 and 10 right now and I am very happy with the Microsoft products. They have been great.

I'd advise others not to hesitate if they are considering using it. It's a very strong solution. If you have a good PC or laptop, it will work well.

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

Review about Windows 10
Pros and Cons
  • "As we are talking about Microsoft, the installation has not posed any problems."
  • "As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation."

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for ten to twenty years. Any time one uses a PC he makes use of Windows. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The performance and stability are not bad. The stability seems fine by me. 

    I cannot state definitively one way or the other if there is a need to improve the stability. 

    How was the initial setup?

    As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation. 

    What about the implementation team?

    The installation can be handled on one's own. 

    I am not aware of how much technical team is required for the deployment.

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

    The price is not in my purview and, as such, is not an area of my concern.  

    What other advice do I have?

    I consider the solution to be okay. 

    I do not see a need to improve the solution's security features. 

    I feel the interface and dashboard are fine. I adopt it in such a way that it suits my needs. 

    There are several thousand people making use of the solution in my university. 

    The solution is fine by me and I make use of it, but I am not in a position to recommend it to others. I feel there is no alternative. As I am unfamiliar with Mac and Linux, I do not attempt their use. 

    I rate Windows 10 as a seven out of ten.
