Good user interface, good performance, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The user interface of Windows 10 is good. It is better than the earlier versions. Its performance is also better than the earlier versions. These are the two good points for me."
  • "The apps view that I get on my screen is not much useful for me. If I have to search for anything, I go to the Search bar and type there. They can maybe include integration with some third-party products."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 for accessing Microsoft Office or a few other things. I am using the latest version.

What is most valuable?

The user interface of Windows 10 is good. It is better than the earlier versions. Its performance is also better than the earlier versions. These are the two good points for me.

What needs improvement?

The apps view that I get on my screen is not much useful for me. If I have to search for anything, I go to the Search bar and type there. 

They can maybe include integration with some third-party products.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

Pros and Cons
  • "Stability-wise, it's fine."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use windows 10 for personal usage both at work and while studying.

    What is most valuable?

    I enjoy the search feature; you can just start typing what you're looking for and the answer just pops up, right away. Bluetooth works really well with it. It's really easy to navigate and find what you're looking for.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for roughly two to three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Stability-wise, it's fine. I can't comment on the scalability as I've not really tried to change the performance capabilities — I only run it on one device.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have never had to contact technical support. As for documentation, if you need some help you can just search the internet. It's pretty easy to find information on some of the forums or to get some answers via Microsoft's webpages.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was quite straightforward.

    What other advice do I have?

    I think I'd recommend it. With Linux, you really need to have some kind of programming background or something, and it really depends on what you are using it for, but for general usage, I think Windows is more comfortable. You can control it via the user interface.

    In general, I think it's pretty comfortable. It's very comparable — I'd recommend Windows 10.

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

    I can't think of any disadvantages right now but I can't give it a higher rating because it's not perfect. That's why I chose eight.

    Easy to install and stable
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is easy to install and stable."
    • "There are a lot of frequent updates. They can reduce the number of updates and combine them into one monthly update. It also uses a lot of RAM and CPU, which should be fixed."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Windows 10 mainly on the office laptops, not on the network. Our product mostly runs on Linux CentOS. We are using the latest version.

    What is most valuable?

    It is easy to install and stable.

    What needs improvement?

    There are a lot of frequent updates. They can reduce the number of updates and combine them into one monthly update. 

    It also uses a lot of RAM and CPU, which should be fixed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for two to three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is stable. We haven't had any incidents related to its stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have around 200 users.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Our company does not have an Office 365 subscription.

    How was the initial setup?

    Its installation is straightforward.

    What about the implementation team?

    I installed it on my own. We have one staff member to manage it.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this solution, but it does not really require any recommendation. More than 50% of laptops have Windows 10 for sure.

    I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

    Easy to use with good productivity tools and good support
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable features are ease of use, usability, and user-friendliness."
    • "As a user, I should have a facility that I can secure an entire folder with a password."

    What is our primary use case?

    The primary use case of this solution is for the use of productivity tools such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. These are very popular and I don't see any alternatives.

    There are some open-source, and even Mac has good products.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features are ease of use, usability, and user-friendliness. These are great from the Office products perspective. 

    From an organization's perspective, we use Office 365 cloud version for the office, which is excellent.

    It's quite straightforward and has all of the features that I was looking for.

    What needs improvement?

    One of the areas that need some clarity, is when trying to secure a specific folder between the file system with a password. I am not sure if it is possible.

    As a user, I should have a facility that I can secure an entire folder with a password. This is a feature that I would like to be added to the Windows System.

    Also, It could be more secure.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    When I first purchased my laptop, it came with Windows 8.1 in 2013 or 2014, then when Windows 10 was released it was automatically updated.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It's a very stable product.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I am not using it extensively.

    In our organization, we have approximately 200 people. 

    I am not sure of the exact number of internal users, but all of the laptops and desktops have Windows 10 installed.

    The need is always there on a daily basis.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have had some very basic issues that I needed some additional help with. They were formulas in Excel and the support was very helpful.

    Microsoft technical support is good and the documentation is very good. It's very helpful.

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

    I have used Ubuntu for some time and also OpenOffice. Office products are superior to OpenOffice and other products.

    How was the initial setup?

    I was not a part of the installation, but from what I understand it was straightforward.

    When I purchased my laptop, it was already installed.

    I completed the upgrade myself.

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

    Windows 10 is licensed. It was included with the purchase of my laptop.

    What other advice do I have?

    When I spend time on documentation, this is a very good application to use.

    I would recommend using Windows 10 to anyone who is interested in implementing this solution.

    I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

    Easy to use, easy to set up and very stable
    Pros and Cons
    • "The initial setup is very easy."
    • "Occasionally configurations can be a bit tricky."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for just normal documented work, including work schedules or things of that nature. 

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is very user friendly.

    The interface of the solution makes it very easy to navigate.

    The initial setup is very easy.

    The product is very stable.

    What needs improvement?

    Right now, the solution is quite good and works quite well for us. I don't know if there are features that need improvement.

    Occasionally configurations can be a bit tricky.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for two or three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability of the solution is very good. We've never had a crash and it's never frozen. I don't recall experiencing bugs or glitches. It's reliable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We only have about ten people in our company using the solution.

    We do plan to increase usage in the future. If we bring on more people, they'll also use Windows 10.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    We've never used technical support do to the fact that we've never had issues. Therefore, I can't speak to their level of service. So far, the solution itself is working well. We've been satisfied.

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

    We didn't previously use a different solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    The implementation is not complex. It's quite straightforward.

    The deployment took maybe ten minutes.

    You only need one admin person. There isn't much maintenance required.

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

    There aren't additional costs over and above the licensing. The pricing is pretty straightforward. The pricing is in US dollar, however, I'm unsure as to what the full cost is.

    What other advice do I have?

    We don't have a business relationship with the company. We're just a customer.

    I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's a great product. We have no complaints as to how it's running and it's worked well for us so far. There really isn't anything missing.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Great interface and useful for me that the drivers are loaded by default
    Pros and Cons
    • "Great user interface and drivers are loaded into the solution by default."
    • "A very expensive solution."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use the solution for desktop computing, PowerPoint and accessing the ERP. I'm an IT manager and we're users of Windows 10. 

    What is most valuable?

    The user interface is great and I like that the drivers are loaded into it by default because it is straight. We don't have to download much and can very easily get it into our network. They also have some good security features. 

    What needs improvement?

    The price is always high. Whenever I go out to buy a computer and want to buy a Windows license for it, it makes up a quarter of the total cost. It sometimes helps if it's bundled with the machine, but it's still expensive. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using this solution for two years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It's a stable solution, we don't generally have issues with glitches. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's quite a scalable solution. We have around 400 users. 

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Two years ago we took annual support from Microsoft and then we shipped it to other vendors where we were directly dealing with Microsoft. There were some issues regarding the solution at that time but things have improved since then. 

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

    We use Mac OS in the company. One of our directors prefers it to Windows so we went with that at work. But it really is very costly even though you get good security with it. They are more reliable than Windows and less chance of being hacked or broken into. It's a very sturdy machine. On the other hand, I prefer the ease of use with Windows. 

    What other advice do I have?

    The use of Windows really depends on individual preference, but I would say Windows 10 is better. If you have the money then you can use Mac OS because it would make a difference if you have an iPhone plus an iPad, and you sync everything. To get all that into place requires a lot of money. Windows has its drawbacks and glitches and some instability, but on the whole it works and it's fine. 

    There are problems with every solution - I would rate this product an eight out of 10.

    Easy to install with an intuitive interface that works well on tablets
    Pros and Cons
    • "The solution is easy to install. Even my child could set up the system."
    • "It would be great if the solution was more stable. It's a mass-produced product and people around the world use it extensively, which makes it a target for attacks. It needs better security against hackers."

    What is most valuable?

    We like the solution as it offers basic functionality and you don't need to be an expert to use it.

    The solution supports touch screens, which is useful for me, as I utilize touchscreen devices often. It supports tablets, for example, which is great.

    It's a massively popular product. About 80% of the operating systems in the world are Microsoft Windows.

    The solution is easy to install. Even my child could set up the system.

    The interface is intuitive and very self-explanatory. It's easier to use than Mac or Linux.

    The product offers very good instructions.

    What needs improvement?

    It would be great if the solution was more stable. It's a mass-produced product and people around the world use it extensively, which makes it a target for attacks. It needs better security against hackers.

    The solution needs to be more resilient against viruses. Apple computers, for example, are great in this sense.

    The solution could be more lightweight. The OS should be built lighter. Users shouldn't have to buy the highest-end processor or devices in order to run the OS smoothly. There should be less demand on the hardware.

    They could build or create an operating system that's less powerful than now. Currently, every year, we have to buy new devices just to have the best of Microsoft Windows products. If you want to have the best SharePoint, you have to add RAM. You have to have more and more powerful machines, just to have it run properly. It's demanding on the consumer. There are too many upgrades that are necessary and they happen too often.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've been using the solution since its first release. It's been a while now.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution in my opinion isn't very stable. It's vulnerable to attacks.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was very straightforward. We didn't have any trouble at all. I simply asked the customer center to set up my particular version. There are no admin privileges on my work laptop, so I don't have authority to add anything, therefore I needed their assistance.

    What other advice do I have?

    We're Microsoft customers.

    We're always on the latest version of the solution. Part of our security policy requires us to be on the latest update at all times. 

    We have a patch server that will deploy the latest patches, with updates to the clients, to regular machines.

    I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If it was more stable and offered better data protection, I would rate it higher.

    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature is the interface."
    • "The speed and performance should be improved."

    Windows 10 hosts several applications that I use including Outlook for email and others for searching the internet.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature is the interface.

    What needs improvement?

    The speed and performance should be improved.

    Easier integration with other platforms would be an improvement.

    It should include a low-code or no-code solution for beginners that they can use to write applications.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for several years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Windows 10 is a stable operating system.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    This product is quite scalable. I expect that we will be increasing our usage of it.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I'm very satisfied with the technical support.

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

    We switched to Windows 10 from the previous version. It was a natural progression and it is more scalable.

    How was the initial setup?

    I did not have any trouble with the initial setup. It was simple to install.

    What about the implementation team?

    Our in-house IT team is responsible for deployment and maintenance.

    What other advice do I have?

    In summary, this is a product that I like a lot and I recommend it.

    I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
