A good operating system that is stable and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "I've been very satisfied with this operating system."
  • "I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used for running persona applications on my laptop. We run several types of applications on it. 

What is most valuable?

I've been very satisfied with this operating system.

It's totally stable and secure.

What needs improvement?

There are always some small things here and there that could be better, however, for the most part, I have been happy with its capabilities and cannot recall coming across missing features. 

I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10. Sometimes the connections are broken or it doesn't work after a while. When that happens, I have to restart my laptop and so on. It would be ideal if it was simply more stable so that these issues didn't occur.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been a decade at this point. I've used it for a while.

I've never been in touch with technical support and cannot speak to how helpful or responsive the support team from Microsoft is.

We likely previously used Windows 7. That was a really long time ago. I've worked with Windows 7 and I also have experience with the Linux version.

How was the initial setup?

I cannot speak to the initial implementation process or how easy or difficult it is to execute. I was not involved in the setup in any way.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its overall capabilities.

User friendly, very easy, and very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "It is user friendly and very easy."
  • "They have a lot of updates, and most of these updates don't have a major feature. We do an update, and we usually don't see any new features from the end-user perspective, which is quite unlike phone updates, where after the update, we usually see something really new. We should be required to update Windows 10 only for major changes. The updates also take a lot of time. When the updates are going on, the PC becomes a bit slow."

It is user friendly and very easy.

What needs improvement?

They have a lot of updates, and most of these updates don't have a major feature. We do an update, and we usually don't see any new features from the end-user perspective, which is quite unlike phone updates, where after the update, we usually see something really new.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

User friendly, good compatibility, and simple installation
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 is more user-friendly and compatible than the previous version, Windows 7."
  • "We are using Defender for security protection, which is part of Windows 10. We have been receiving a lot of spam mail, but when we speak to Microsoft, they claim the email is from a genuine website. However, inside that mail, there is a link, and when we click the link, it is spam. They need to improve their customer support when dealing with these types of issues."

We use Windows 10 as an operating system to run applications.

How are customer service and technical support?

However, inside that mail, there is a link, and when we click the link, it is spam. They need to improve their customer support when dealing with these types of issues.

We have two clients that are experiencing the same issue. It has been almost three months since we are have been discussing this problem with Microsoft and they have not provided a solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

Easy to use with a good UI and excellent scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "The UI is very familiar, which makes it very user-friendly and easy to navigate."
  • "The stability could be a bit stronger - if they were going to work on any specific aspect."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for pretty much everything at the company. We use it for a lot of daily routine tasks.

What is most valuable?

Microsoft is a very trusted brand.

The UI is very familiar, which makes it very user-friendly and easy to navigate.

We've found the solution to be quite stable.

The product scales well.

What needs improvement?

I cannot recall the solution having any missing features. We've been happy with its abilities so far. Nothing strikes me as lacking in terms of how it operates.

The stability could be a bit stronger - if they were going to work on any specific aspect.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for many years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the product is very reliable. The performance has been good. We don't deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. That said, if they could continue to improve the product in any way, it would be great for them to continue to work on stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

We have five people in our organization currently using the product.

How are customer service and technical support?

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

I do not recall using a different solution before working with Windows 10.

How was the initial setup?

I did not handle the implementation and therefore cannot speak to how easy or difficult it was. I'm unsure as to how long the actual deployment took as I didn't play a role in the process. 

What about the implementation team?

There was someone who handled the implementation for me, however, I can't speak to if they were a consultant or integrator. 

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

I cannot speak to the exact licensing costs. It's not an aspect of the solution I directly deal with.

What other advice do I have?

I use the solution both for personal purposes as well as part of my employment duties.

I can't speak to which version of the solution we are using. I can't say if it is the latest or not.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it as a nine. We've been very pleased with its overall capabilities over the time that we have used it.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies.
