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

"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."
"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 has been stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"Google Chrome Enterprise provides ease of management for users and regular updates."
"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 solution is easy to use, user-friendly, and has a good graphical interface."
"The solution is easy to use and secure."
"The GUI has been enhanced and it supports the 365 suite."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The operating system itself is good."
"It's stable, with good performance."
"As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation."
"I like that it's stable and secure."
 

Cons

"The product's stability can be better."
"They need to deal with their memory management."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"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."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"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."
"You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"The update cycle could use some improvement."
"In the beginning, the system froze a few times."
"I would like to have more security."
"The interface must be made faster."
"MS Office or Internet Explorer has a big ribbon on top, which occupies needed space."
"When I try to install and use apps in Windows 10, they don't work properly, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Sometimes it can be resource-hungry."
"They have a lot of updates, and most of these updates don't have a major feature. We do an update, and we usually don't see any new features from the end-user perspective, which is quite unlike phone updates, where after the update, we usually see something really new. We should be required to update Windows 10 only for major changes. The updates also take a lot of time. When the updates are going on, the PC becomes a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"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."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"Windows 10 came preinstalled on my laptop, I am not sure the price."
"For Filipino standards, it's quite expensive. We pay per license. So far, there have been no hidden costs."
"My organization gets Windows 10 for free with our computers."
"For my home computer it's a lifetime license, only purchased once."
"I don't pay for my personal use. However, my company certainly has some licenses, but I'm not aware of what they pay for them."
"The solution requires a license and you can purchase one for personal use that lasts for the length of time you are using the solution."
"There is a one-time license purchase for Windows 10."
"I paid for a license, but there's no monthly fee."
