The search bar and Graphic User Interface (GUI) are the most important features for me. 

What needs improvement?

The deployment takes 30 to 40 minutes.

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."

What needs improvement?

Whenever there is an update, a black screen appears which is due to patches being installed in the background. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for more than an year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten and my company has about 2000 users for Windows 9 and Windows 10. We will shift to Windows 11 soon by next year. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is good. However, we do not need technical support because we can Google and find support. 

How was the initial setup?

I would rate the product's setup a nine out of ten since it's easy. The tool's deployment takes around 20-25 minutes to complete. 

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

My company purchases licenses in bulk for 2000 users. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

A solution that has helped me with my academics through a useful suite of tools
Pros and Cons
  • "It has helped with analytics."
  • "Windows 11 needs to improve the speed with which it loads programs"

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 11 for school. I use Word, Excel, Outlook, and a number of other Microsoft products.

What is most valuable?

It has helped with analytics and everything that I need Windows products for. If I need to take notes, I use Word, and for analytics, I use Excel.

What needs improvement?

Windows 11 needs to improve the speed with which it loads programs

In addition, when you go to analytics to load analytics features and click on "analyze using server," that interface comes up blank 90% of the time.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used Windows for about five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Windows 11's scalability an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. It goes from one step to another, and then you're done.

What was our ROI?

So far, Windows 11 has been good for my academic purposes.

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

The solution is affordable.

What other advice do I have?

I use Power BI, and there is a comparison between it and Excel. About 80 formulas and functions in Excel are exactly the same as what I have in Power BI. Some functions are specific to Power BI, but Power BI needs improvements in offering something different from Excel.

However, Microsoft is Microsoft, and it's the most widely used OS. I don't know what else to recommend if you don't want to use Windows 11. I rate Windows 11 a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Contributes to office productivity

I use Windows 11 for general business purposes.

What is most valuable?

Windows 11 is a stable and easy-to-use solution. The solution serves its purpose and contributes to office productivity. It also has free Microsoft Office online.

What needs improvement?

The solution’s pricing could be cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 for the last three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven’t faced any scalability issues with Windows 11. Less than 20 users are using the solution in our organization.

The solution's support is fairly standard, and it meets our needs.

What other advice do I have?

As far as I know, part of the solution is in the cloud, like the storage. The solution's security features are fine for our purposes. We use the malware protection that comes with Microsoft. I would recommend the solution to others who have the budget for it.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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.

A user-friendly solution that has great functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
  • "The solution's price can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I'm using this for my official work and also my personal work.

What is most valuable?

I was using Windows 10 for some time, and it was automatically updated. That was quite nice and made the solution user-friendly. The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality. For example, multiple tabs can be opened at one time.

What needs improvement?

Windows should focus on screen-sharing functions since it is a global issue.

In addition, when the print sharing function is selected and when it updates, it automatically stops the print sharing. There are also some pooling issues and we are unable to connect to shared printers in some locations. 

The solution's price can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 since it was launched.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable. All of the programs run smoothly, and there are no flaws.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is almost 75% scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Contacting customer support is a very difficult task. There's no quick tech support there. You need to spend the entire day trying and sometimes they won't even respond. That's the biggest issue that I faced at multiple locations. 

Once I forgot the password to enter into the OS and we tried to reset it. I've been contacting them here and there but I have not received any support from Microsoft. That's a problem that we fixed on our own.

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

I previously used Windows 10. The solution was upgraded automatically. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. The GUI is very user-friendly. The deployment takes a few minutes.

What about the implementation team?

Windows 11 was implemented by the in-house team.

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

The licensing cost is high.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quick deployment and used for our workstation’s daily operations
Pros and Cons
  • "We use Windows 11 for our workstation’s daily operations."
  • "Major updates cause problems in small business environments because the end customers have to upgrade their workstations."

What is most valuable?

We use Windows 11 for our workstation’s daily operations.

What needs improvement?

What we don't like about the Windows platform is that every major update increases the requirements. Major updates cause problems in small business environments because the end customers have to upgrade their workstations. Sometimes, updates have problems, and we treat them with higher attention for workstations and servers.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 11 is a stable solution if you don't need to implement specific tasks. However, we have faced problems in some cases and had to roll back to the previous platform.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Less than ten users are using the tool in our organization.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is quite smart, and deploying Windows 11 on a workstation doesn't take much time.

What about the implementation team?

We have different scenarios ranging from manual deployment to imaging deployment using specific products.

What other advice do I have?

Our practice is generally to apply additional security products to Windows 11. Since I don't rely solely on the solution's security features, I add an additional layer of security using other products.

If the intention is to deploy Windows 11, I recommend always starting with high requirements or resources on the workstation. Do not try to use minimal resources because Windows 11 requires high resources.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
