Easy to set up and use with a very nice GUI
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate."
  • "I'm just a customer and an end-user. I would recommend this solution."
  • "The security could be improved. I have had colleagues who have gotten their files corrupted somehow."
  • "Sometimes we are getting slowness issues while performing some heavy operations."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this operating system for all of the functionality on offer. We have different machines on which we are using Eggplant to perform the functional testing. All those machines are currently on Windows 10 only since users have been using Windows 10 already, and it's quite user-friendly. 

In all the cases where machines are present, we are performing the test over Windows 10 and using this Eggplant with all the different types of applications for the functionality users. Based on those tests, we are capturing data.

How has it helped my organization?

In the previous versions, you could get a copy of data or pirated data also, however, with Windows 10, as it is genuine software, it helped us a lot in avoiding this. It also has added security features and auto-updates. The upgrading of the software is very easy now.

What is most valuable?

The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The GUI is quite impressive. We don't need to go into any command-line interface. Most of the things you can use with the click of a mouse. 

The initial setup is very easy.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes we getting slowness issues while performing some heavy operations. We aren't multitasking or anything, however, some heavy load is there. In those times, Windows 10 is not responding as we would like it to. They need to improve this.

As of now, I haven't seen many ain points per see. However, whether we're upgrading the software or clearing the cache, it would help us if the solution was more responsive.

The security could be improved. I have had colleagues who have gotten their files corrupted somehow.

903,996 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for maybe three or four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's quite stable and is easy to work with as you don't need very special skills. 

As of now, I haven't had any downtime or any blockage due to the software or OS. Of course, the slowness issue sometimes stops us a lot. The upgrades can be frustrating as they sometimes start an update when we are working. If it's between the working times, it's not a problem.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is quite easy to integrate add-on solutions and we've found that the scalability is fine in Windows 10. You don't have to do anything extra in that we can install easily, and we can use the software easily wherever it's required.

Within my team, my project, all of us are using Windows 10 since the project itself is dependent on Windows 10. We have around 10 people on our project. We are senior consultants, test engineers, test analysts, project managers, and test analysts.

How are customer service and support?

We haven't reached out to technical support. Right now, things are running smoothly and therefore there's no reason to be in touch. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

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

Previously, we may have been using Windows 7. We haven't used a different operating system. It's always been Microsoft.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not a complex process at all.

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

We have an in-built, permanent license. I can't speak to how much it costs our company.

What other advice do I have?

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

I would recommend this solution. It's not ideal for very heavy projects, however, for moderate or medium-type of projects that do not have a very heavy load or too much multitasking, Windows 10 is excellent.

Windows 10 makes for pretty comfortable working. It doesn't need users to be experienced in anything. If you want to start a new thing with Windows 10 OS, you don't need to worry about that. You can get into it easily. You don't need to have knowledge of any specific things so that you can catch up with the solution and how to use it easily.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Easy to setup, but the patch security management updates could be faster
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 is stable."
  • "The installation is straightforward, with a guided installation that anyone can do."
  • "The main issue is related to the patch security management that is released. The updates take a lot of time to complete, and they could be faster."

What is our primary use case?

We use Windows 10 for our personal operating system on all of our desktops, laptops, and our tablets.

What needs improvement?

The main issue is related to the patch security management that is released. The updates take a lot of time to complete, and they could be faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Windows 10 for the last three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 150 users in our organization.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is fine. They have the help support and you can Google it to get your support.

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

We have only used Windows. All versions of Windows have been used such as Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is straightforward. It's a guided installation that anyone can do.

We need a team of two or three people to maintain this solution.

What about the implementation team?

We were able to complete the installation ourselves.

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

The pricing is expensive. When compared with other Operating Systems, such as Linux-based solutions, it's expensive.

When we purchase any computer, we purchase the software, the operating system, and the hardware. 

It is bundled, but if you purchase it individually it's expensive.

The price could be improved.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

From an operating system perspective, I would rate Windows 10 a seven out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Stable, easy to use, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "We have found the solution to be stable."
  • "We've been very happy with the product."
  • "The price could be cheaper. If they want to compete with Linux, they need to actually come out at a lesser cost."
  • "The solution is pricey. If cost is a problem, users should look at Linux."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is mainly used for development. Mainly, it's easy for developers to learn, and allows for adaptability of the Windows platforms to make it easy for developers to develop any application. Its development environments might not be available on Linux or other platforms such as Ubuntu.

What is most valuable?

It's easy to use.

We have found the solution to be stable. 

The scalability is great.

What needs improvement?

The price could be cheaper. If they want to compete with Linux, they need to actually come out at a lesser cost.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a couple of years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem.

It's pretty much used by everybody in the company. That's likely 1000 or more users. 

How are customer service and technical support?

It's my understanding that we don't really need technical support. Everything seems to be working. Microsoft, quality wise, if you take a look at it, has less of a likelihood of facing any quality slippage that would affect the whole operating system. It's very reliable. 

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

I have always used Windows. I did not use any other solution.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was handled by our IT team. I was not a part of that process. Therefore, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was. However, my understanding is that it went pretty well. 

We have a centralized team of five to ten people that handle deployment and maintenance on this and many other solutions within the company.

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

The solution is pricey. If cost is a problem, users should look at Linux.

We paid for the solution one time and don't have any recurring fees. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm just an end-user and a customer.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with the product.

I would recommend the solution, however, I don't really need to. People prefer Microsoft. It's not me recommending the solution that will make people buy it. It is already a market leader and it doesn't require any help remaining so.

Reliable, with many updates and patching through the cloud, and it's easy to install
Pros and Cons
  • "It provides us with very good updates and security patching that is required."
  • "The price could be cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

The operating system is the heart of the laptop or the heart of your system. It is where you use all your applications. Underneath the operating system is where you have the processor. 

In order to run all of your applications, you need to use the operating system.

What is most valuable?

It provides us with very good updates and security patching that is required. It is done through the internet and gone are the days where you needed a disc for the updates.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

I use it on my laptop, but the upgrades are done through the cloud.

I am using the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is not something that really applies to an operating system. It's not an application that is run for 10 users as an example.

We have 5,000 peoplein our organization who are using Windows 10.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have an IT team that deals with technical support. They have a better view of what the support is like.

Microsoft is such a large corporation, I am sure they have very good technical support.

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

I have always used Windows 10.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. Windows 10 is standardized. It's easy.

There really isn't any maintenance required. it's pretty easy. You need to update and run some security tests and maybe some patching, but there are pop-ups that come up to click, making it super easy.

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

I am not sure about the pricing. It might be $1,000 per license. The price goes down by the number of licenses.

The price could be cheaper. Not very cheap but cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Windows 10 to anyone who wants to use this as an operating system.

I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

Pros and Cons
  • "I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution."
  • "Setup and use between multiple monitors should be easier."

What is our primary use case?

I don't know which version we are using. 

We don't use the solution for anything specific. 

What is most valuable?

I cannot think of any specific features which stand out to me. 

What needs improvement?

Setup and use between multiple monitors should be easier. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I don't know exactly how long I have been using Windows 10, likely a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While I cannot say for sure, it seems that the scalability has been okay thus far. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I am not aware of any use having been made of technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in the setup. This was already handled by my IT department

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

I don't know how much we paid for the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I have no idea how many are using the solution in our organization, although I assume this would include everybody, meaning 1,200 or 1,500 people. 

I have no specific advice to offer. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten.

A scalable and easy to use solution
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use."
  • "The solution is easy to use, it serves many functions, user accounts can be identified in Windows 10, it offers performance and functionality, and sensitive data which is deployed in one's application can be set in his policy."
  • "The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better."

What is our primary use case?

We mainly use the solution in the cloud for discovering all of its applications. We also use it for identification purposes and either to block access or unauthenticate updated applications.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use.

It serves many functions. User accounts can be identified in Windows 10. It offers performance and functionality. Sensitive data which is deployed in one's application can be set in his policy. 

What needs improvement?

In contrast to Windows 11, the 10 version could have improved functionality. 

The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better. 

The space utilization is not sufficient and there are too many notifications for the user. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Windows 10 for three or four years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. It can be applied to as many PCs as one likes. 

How are customer service and technical support?

One of the good things about Microsoft is that the support is there, although the time it takes to respond and to resolve the issue could be improved upon. 

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

The good thing about Windows 10 is that it's from Microsoft. I have also used iOS, which is from Apple, as well as Android, from Samsung. So too, I have used macOS Sierra, like MacBook OS, in addition to Ubuntu. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation lasts a couple of hours, so it would be better if this could be accomplished within a few minutes. 

What about the implementation team?

It is possible to do deployment and maintenance with the use of system administrators. 

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

The solution comes with a licensing fee. 

What other advice do I have?

Windows 10 is deployed on one's PC. 

As the solution is from Microsoft, I would definitely recommend its use. 

Our organization has more than 100 users who are making use of the solution.

As Windows 10 is from Microsoft, I rate it as a nine-point-five out of ten.
