Useful to handle huge projects and can be used to involve people from multiple countries
Pros and Cons
  • "The artificial intelligence capabilities of the product have supported my organization."
  • "My problem with Windows 11 stems from the fact that I have to update it every other day."

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature stems from the fact that it has been a huge product for Australia's air traffic control system for many years. People use the tool for huge projects.

What needs improvement?

Improvements are required in the area of integration and the quality offered because my company has a lot of pressure from our customers that some updates be released every few months.

My problem with Windows 11 stems from the fact that I have to update it every other day. Every week I have to take care of the upgrades and the patches associated with the product. From an improvement perspective, the frequency of updates should be lesser.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 for many years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. With the tool, we are able to control airplane traffic.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, I would say that the product has the ability to control Australia's air traffic, so the system is used to control the whole site and the air traffic in every city.

At my site, I can say that there are around 500 users of the solution.

How was the initial setup?

For deployment, my company just puts everything into IPAM and uses Ansible script for downloading and deployment. My company uses the cloud services offered by Azure to deploy some systems on the cloud so the customer can divide the systems in the cloud so that they can access the systems from the local cloud.

For now, my company uses Ansible during the product's deployment phase.

When there is a new release of the product, it takes us one week to fully deploy it. Windows 11 is a huge product.

What other advice do I have?

My company handles huge projects and involves many people from multiple countries. My area of work is to accept all the component changes every day. I also deal with areas like integration and current trends and provide the latest updates to everyone in my company.

My company has a separate team to handle the area of security because we work for the government and military, so the security level needs to be very high.

I recommend the tool to others because it provides most of the functions for many users and is also very friendly. Developers mostly like Linux, and they like it more than Windows because it's very clean and offers good user control. With Windows, sometimes the tool gets corrupted.

In terms of benefits, my company uses a lot of Windows-based applications like Outlook, Word, Excel, and emails for normal communication purposes because almost everyone knows how to use Windows, which provides ease of communication.

The artificial intelligence capabilities of the product have supported my organization.

Since last year, I have used OpenAI assets to improve my development efficiency by 100 percent. Windows 11 is a very good tool, and now, a lot of developers are opening up to OpenAI. You can also choose the language in seconds.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

An easy, intuitive and fast solution that boosts productivity
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool is very stable and I don't recall a time the screen went blue which was common for Windows 7. The product's installation is fast. If I have any issue that prevents me from booting Windows 11, it will automatically run into auto-repair mode and fix those issues. Windows 10 had this functionality but it wasn't good."
  • "I would like to add a frontend to manage the virtual machines that are installed in Windows 11. It should also improve security which includes patching the vulnerabilities."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for my everyday tasks. I use it to run my Office suite.

The solution runs perfectly and there are no stability issues. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Windows 11 is a very scalable product. In the past, we had to reinstall the OS. However, with Windows 11, all you have to do is type in the new key. My company has ten percent of users for the product. Most of the machines are still using Windows 10. 

How are customer service and support?

I do my own technical support and I haven't faced any issues that would require assistance from Microsoft engineers. 

How was the initial setup?

The product's setup was easy and straightforward. It automatically rebooted and I didn't have to do anything. 

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

My machine came with a Windows 10 license and I upgraded to Windows 11 without paying anything. If you buy a new computer, Windows 11 is included with it. 

What other advice do I have?

The tool's updates are easier to apply. I would rate Windows 11 a ten out of ten. It's easy, fast, and intuitive. The solution keeps me connected to the internet and boosts my productivity. It also doesn't hang which is critical for anyone using the system.

Efficient window management and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "One valuable feature is the ability to snap windows to different sections of the screen, which is especially useful on big screens."
  • "I have noticed a difference in audio option."

What is our primary use case?

I mainly use it for normal operations.

What is most valuable?

One valuable feature is the ability to snap windows to different sections of the screen, which is especially useful on big screens. 

Additionally, I like the tabbed interface in the command prompt, which helps me multitask while working on network analysis and other tasks.

What needs improvement?

I have noticed a difference in audio options when connecting my JBL headphones. In Windows 10, I had two options for meetings and general audio, with better bass in the latter. 

However, in Windows 11, I only have one option for audio, and the bass is not as good as it was in Windows 10. I miss that feature.

I would like Windows 11 to have the same audio options as Windows 10.

For how long have I used the solution?

I currently use Windows 11. I've been using it for the last two to three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Currently, I would give it a seven because I'm still fully exploring it to understand its strengths and weaknesses.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward, similar to Windows 10. If you're already familiar with Windows 10, it won't be a problem.

What about the implementation team?

In our organization, Windows 11 is deployed on end-user machines.

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

The pricing could be a little bit high, but personally, I'm using the free upgrade from Windows 10. So I've taken advantage of that. 

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would recommend you to give it a try. It might work well for them, but they should also continue testing it until they are confident it meets their needs.
