Harsha Ramamurthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides flexibility for remote work and offers good performance
My company has a product servicing team of 12 people, consisting of network engineers who call themselves network support, and the other teams in my company refer to them as the setup servicing team. Though not all of them manage Google, some of them do it when required. In terms of the manageability benefits offered by the product to my company's team, I would say that there was not much of a learning curve involved when we migrated from Microsoft to Google around two years ago, and it was pretty easy to integrate. I have not utilized Google Chrome's flexibility for remote work. The solution has some good points in terms of scalability and ease of use. However, my company doesn't like the UX component of the product, and it is also one of the reasons why we miss Microsoft Teams. I can recommend the product to others after considering their needs. If a user has more money to invest, they should choose Microsoft. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Akos Szirmai - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy installation and the initial setup time is reasonable
Stability can be an issue. I have to restart it every two days. And the boot time is quite long. My laptop's old, has no SSD, and is just a traditional Winchester. Had desktops with Windows 11 and SSDs, much better performance. But hardware limitations on my current laptop lead to stability and response issues. It's more like the whole reinstall every two years thing. It makes cleaning a pain. Performance improves significantly after a fresh install, then slowly deteriorates as I add more programs. But my biggest concern with Windows 10 is actually bigger than my situation. I'm replacing my laptop anyway, but I read that Windows 10 support ends in a year or so. And with hardware limitations, many other computers won't run Windows 11. So it's not just me. A lot of people with decent, still-working Windows 10 machines will lose support and be unable to switch to 11. This will be a significant problem for individuals and institutions. Large companies with thousands of computers don't replace them every three years, and they might face issues with many computers unable to run Windows 11 and lacking support for 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is user-friendly with security features detecting if there is suspicious activity on the browser. There is a lot of extensions we can use to provide us with good coverage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its browser, which offers good performance."
"Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution has been stable."
"The best part of Chrome is security."
"Windows 10 is easy to use."
"It is easy to use."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The usability is satisfactory."
"As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation."
"I have found Windows 10 to be very user-friendly and has good performance."
"The install was easy for this solution."
"When it's new it's very fast."
 

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the enhanced troubleshooting feature needs to improve to be able to identify the issues for the use case and for the user experience."
"The solution could be made cheaper."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"The performance could be faster."
"It's a bit bulky. If we have a laptop with basic configuration, it eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the system."
"The tool is not very user-friendly."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"There is a lot of preloaded information on Windows 10, that impacts the memory position."
"In the beginning, the system froze a few times."
"There is some room for improvement in the security of the solution."
"Although the solution has been pretty nice to use, I have encountered certain bugs in the updates."
"We had some issues deploying Windows 10 for our clients."
"It takes a lot of hard drive space when you're using it. I also have Windows 10 on my personal computer, and it does take up an awful lot of hard drive space. This is probably something about which nothing can be done, and it is just a pet peeve of mine."
"There could be more information available online for PowerShell."
"Increasing the security would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
"There is an annual license and the price of the solution is a little expensive and could be reduced."
"The solution is not expensive and there is a license required."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Microsoft charges a lot for every license, but they don't provide by default support with it."
"We need to pay for licensing to use Windows 10. Any time we change the computers, we have to pay, and it's a bit expensive."
"The price is quite expensive for our currency. A perpetual license costs around 300 dollars."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price possible and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing five since it's quite overpriced."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it a four out of ten."
