Easy to use and offers good performance
Pros and Cons
- "The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
- "My problem with the product stems from the fact that it does not ask for your opinion or time when going for an upgrade."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company just to run my applications, especially the ones that are compatible with Windows 10. In our office work, we use the tool for emails, presentations, browsing the internet, and some other similar stuff.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the notepad.
What needs improvement?
My problem with the product stems from the fact that it does not ask for your opinion or time when going for an upgrade. I feel that the product just starts the upgrade abruptly. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product. I would like the product to reduce the frequency of updates.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 10 for about six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a very scalable solution.
In the APEC region, around 1,000 people use the product in the company. At a global level, there are around 2,000 people using the product.
Whether there are plans to increase the use of the product or not is something that depends on the plans that come out from our company's headquarters.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I have used Windows 7. In the past, my company used to use Apple macOS, but since we wanted to standardize everything, we moved to Windows OS.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward.
The solution is deployed on the cloud.
The solution can be deployed and can be up and running in 30 minutes, after which I can directly use the tool.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company has opted for a volume-based license.
What other advice do I have?
The performance offered by Windows 10 is better compared to the one offered by Windows 7.
The security framework offered by the product is not good enough for our company, and this is one of the reasons why we are using an additional product for endpoint protection.
One thing that I don't like about the product is when I present the product to our company's client. The clients find that they need to update without any dialogue box appearing for them asking whether they want to update it or not.
To those who plan to use the product, I would say that they need to be careful while using free Wi Fi access.
With regards to whether the solution supports hardware compatibility compared to its previous versions, I would say that one of the reasons why my company moved to the cloud was for compatibility, but in general I know that there is a need to refresh technology after five to eight years of its initial purchase.
In terms of the benefits offered by the product, I would say that it is very easy to use and is very user-friendly.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Security Network Architect at Inmac
Recommended for beginners but needs more information for hard drives
Pros and Cons
- "I recommend Windows 10 for beginners."
- "Windows versions before 2016 had a lot of stability problems. When cybersecurity teams tested these devices or operating systems, we found many vulnerabilities to exploit. That's why if I could make solutions for a company, I'd migrate many things to other operating systems like Linux, Cisco, or other alternatives. Most of our company now opts for Windows because 99 percent of users can use it. But I prefer to use Linux for support, engineering, or design teams - the technical teams."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution as an operating system.
What needs improvement?
Windows versions before 2016 had a lot of stability problems. When cybersecurity teams tested these devices or operating systems, we found many vulnerabilities to exploit. That's why if I could make solutions for a company, I'd migrate many things to other operating systems like Linux, Cisco, or other alternatives. Most of our company now opts for Windows because 99 percent of users can use it. But I prefer to use Linux for support, engineering, or design teams - the technical teams.
The tool needs to offer more information on hard drives.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for four to five years.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted technical support yet.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Windows 10 for beginners. But when an engineer or technician grows higher, I recommend migrating to Linux. It's very useful and very stable. As for rating Windows 10 on a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a seven.

Security Consultant at Cancom SE
Has a good user portal and provides continuous updates
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates."
- "There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10."
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used as the main operating system for end-user clients.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.
What needs improvement?
There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10. The solution's identity and access management could be better. There are some compliance blind spots regarding security threats in Windows 10.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for three to four years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also use Windows 11. You already have encryption on Windows 11, but you need something like BitLocker for encryption on Windows 10.
What other advice do I have?
It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
