A stable and scalable solution with good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "We are migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to end-of-life, security concerns, and end-of-support. The tool's configuration is good and we are satisfied with it since it's a Microsoft product. We didn't face any hurdles in using the tool. We didn't feel much difference with both Windows products. The solution is good because in IT we want to secure our data. Nowadays, data is the most valuable thing. If your data is secured, then you are secured. I think that everyone has to move to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is facing end-of-life and end-of-sales, probably by 2024."
  • "Whenever there is an update, a black screen appears which is due to patches being installed in the background."

An user-friendly solution that is also stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool is user-friendly. It is easy to use, and we have many applications like Excel and Word where we can do spreadsheet work."

We use Windows 11 for our account and application software. 

What is most valuable?

The tool is user-friendly. It is easy to use, and we have many applications like Excel and Word where we can do spreadsheet work.

The product should focus more on security, particularly Outlook. It should also look into pricing since people will stop using it after a while if the prices are high.

The solution has an easy-to-understand user interface that can be used for accessing documents and files
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 11 has a good user interface."
  • "Sometimes the Windows 11 system hangs, and its stability could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 11 for accessing documents and files.

What is most valuable?

Windows 11 has a good user interface.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes the Windows 11 system hangs, and its stability could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 since the time it was launched.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Windows 11 a nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm using Windows 11 for normal use cases. Since I don't require any applications that need scaling, the solution's scalability is good for me. Around 1,000 users, including managers and senior analysts, use Windows 11 in our company. Our company's plans to increase the solution's usage will depend on new employee addition.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

What about the implementation team?

Windows 11 was already pre-installed on my personal laptop by my company. The solution was installed on my office laptop by my office IT team.

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

The licensing was already part of the price for my personal laptop. My office has an annual subscription to Microsoft. Windows 11 is not an expensive solution.

What other advice do I have?

Since Windows 11 has a good and easy-to-understand user interface, new users will find it very easy to do their work using Windows 11.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

Good performance but lack of Convenience from Windows 10
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is animation. It is a good solution in terms of performance."
  • "When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11."

How has it helped my organization?


What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is animation. It is a good solution in terms of performance.

When I checked in Windows 11, compared to Windows 10 to 11, it is very high performance. I see the massive differences in Windows 11.

What needs improvement?

The convenience I got in Windows 10, like different editions, I can't find in Windows 11. Security patching is also higher in Windows 11, but many people look for patching software, but it's not easy to implement in Windows 11.

When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11.

There are other areas of improvement. I can feel a bit lagging in some of the applications, like Adobe applications. So those need to be fixed.

Additionally, as a core developer, we often require tools like Visual Studio. We, particularly, need some add-on tools we need to use. So, if possible, it will be re-implemented or de-implemented via Windows 11, which will be very helpful too. Like, one kind of, say, PLAMEX or one kind of say, a tool where we can run at least a set of courses in one place without installing any add-on software.

One more thing to mention is the TDM software. It requires compatible hardware to install Windows 11, and that can be a drawback. For instance, my old laptop doesn't support it, and I had to purchase a new one. This can be challenging, especially for students.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 11 for four to five months. I have not updated it yet, so I don't use the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

It wasn't deployed manually. We used the inbuilt version.

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

The price is quite high, especially in India. It's a significant investment.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise you to consider Windows 11 due to the ongoing updates. But the supportable key is the worst part, which Microsoft has introduced. So that is the only thing I'm a bit disappointed about. So if anyone wants to get a new laptop, they need to go for the new generation, which costs around one or two lakhs in Indian currency. That's very costly for students who are still in the learning stage.

Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten.

Innovation and efficiency with numerous features to improve multitasking
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to divide the screen into two or three sections is useful."
  • "The integration between Windows and cloud applications could be improved to create a seamless experience."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 11 for my work tasks, such as logging into systems and working with applications like spreadsheets and Word documents.

What is most valuable?

The ability to divide the screen into two or three sections is useful. It helps with screen organization and integration with various applications and products.

What needs improvement?

The integration between Windows and cloud applications could be improved to create a seamless experience.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It provides good stability capabilities. I would rate it eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When it comes to scalability, there are different aspects to consider. From an end-user perspective, I am able to easily install and migrate my data onto a new PC. However, scalability takes on a different meaning in an enterprise context. For instance, if I want to upgrade a large number of users from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it can be a challenging task to manually update each desktop. With various products available, such as those integrated with Active Directory, you can streamline and automate the process for a thousand users or more. I would rate it eight out of ten.

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

I used Windows 10 previously, but my new laptop came with Windows 11, so I switched to it. One of the reasons for this switch was the need for a more secure environment. I found that the combination of the new operating system and hardware offers enhanced security and easier maintenance. These improvements contribute to a longer life expectancy for the system, which is another motivating factor.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite straightforward. I would rate it nine out of ten.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment process is extremely fast and straightforward. Essentially, you just need to power on the computer, respond to a few questions, and it's ready to use.

What other advice do I have?

It's an incredibly versatile solution. I would rate it eight out of ten.
