Reliable and enhances research efficiency but needs more detailed search filters
We use Google Chrome primarily for research purposes. In our enterprise environment, we research articles, find competitors, and conduct normal industry research Our use of Google Chrome allows us to conduct secondary research efficiently and aids in finding competitor information. Google…

Easy to use and has good features like control panel, system settings, and backup
Windows 10 is mostly used in our production system. We are a TV station with some software depending on an operating system. This software won't be able to start or manage in other operating systems. We were forced to use Windows 10. Since we updated that software, we switched to Windows 11…

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."
"We use the product to run applications and devices."
"The solution has been stable."
"The best part of Chrome is security."
"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."
"Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."
"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"I prioritize stability and performance, so I'm accustomed to the Windows interface. When I attempt tasks on Linux, it feels unfamiliar to me. Prolonged usage, and familiarity should lead to efficiency."
"I recommend Windows 10 for beginners."
"Very reliable and user friendly."
"The solution overall works well."
"I like that it's stable and secure."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, usability, and user-friendliness."
 

Cons

"Setting up anything resembling a shared inbox is still kind of a giant pain in the solution."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"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 tool is not very user-friendly."
"The solution could be made cheaper."
"You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly."
"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."
"The product must improve its speed."
"When there are updates, the system should automatically identify and remove any unnecessary previous features that are no longer needed, ensuring that they don't take up space on the storage media during this period."
"In Windows 10, the magnifier is really bad in comparison to the macOS zooming feature."
"The security should be better on the solution."
"The performance of Windows 10 is a bit slow because it takes a lot of time for loading. That is a concern because the same 4GB Ram laptop, which I used with Windows XP and other versions, has been faster than Windows 10."
"Built into the solution is Windows Defender, which is in all the recent versions of the Windows operating system, however, we still end up buying an extra antivirus product in the market to ensure we are secure."
"The solution should offer a bit of an easier integration with authentication methods, like FIDO or FIDO2 authentication with the USB-C. They should try to simplify the process of authenticating the user. Nobody wants to remember thousands of passwords."
"I think that the user interface is a little bit complicated and can be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by making the update process faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced 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."
"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."
"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."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"I believe there is an agreement with Microsoft to pay the licensing fee yearly."
"There is a license for this solution and it normally comes free with any system."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We don't spend anything for the license."
"Windows 10 could be less expensive. We have a perpetual license for this solution."
"I'm not sure about how much it's priced in the consumer world, but within enterprise it comes in a Microsoft 365 license, which is very easy. It has become an easier commercial model."
"It's not cheap, and it's one of the inconveniences. Most of the time, we use group licensing, permitting us to install servers for three months. When we want to have personal licenses, it costs too much here in Senegal."
"Windows 10 came with the computer when I bought it, so it was already licensed."
