What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use compared to other solutions, such as Mac OS. I am very familiar with Windows 10 since I have been using Windows since I was very young. It is always evolving to meet make new standards. 

What needs improvement?

Windows 10 could improve by being more user-friendly and provide a screen mirroring feature for the ability to share the screen with mobile devices without having to purchase a third-party application. With Mac OS it is able to be done right away.

Easy to setup, with enhanced performance and graphics
Pros and Cons
  • "It is also more stable than previous versions of Windows 10."
  • "They should change their policy to include some basic support for more than just updates."

What is our primary use case?

Windows 10 is the end user's operating system. It is installed on our laptops.

It is an end-user, end-device operating system that provides users who want to establish their own workspace, to continue their day-to-day work.

What is most valuable?

When you compare with the previous generations of Windows, the graphics have been enhanced as well as the performance.

It is also more stable than previous versions of Windows.

What needs improvement?

As it is an operating system, it needs more support.

They should change their policy to include some basic support for more than just updates. We require limited support for customers and issues.

For example, Microsoft has what is known as the blue screen of death or BSOD.

When you experience BSOD, the operating system is corrupted. It needs to be reconfigured or reinstalled, and you have to reconfigure all of the applications as well. For this to be done, the customer must create a ticket with their support services to guide them in the possible steps that are available.

If they could provide some remote assistance, it would help the end users to become self-sufficient and reduce the overall IT maintenance overhead.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since it was launched.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution has improved. Windows 10 is a stable solution compared to previous versions.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable solution.

I have seen environments where lakhs (100,000s) of end-users are using Windows 10.

How are customer service and technical support?

They should provide remote assistance.

Microsoft needs to work on the support. Even with an S1 production loss ticket, Microsoft does not provide priority support. When they are charging for it, they should provide support for it.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

The length of time it takes to deploy is dependant on the configuration. If it is a good configuration, it can take 15 minutes or less to deploy.

Windows 10 does not require a technical team to maintain it. Microsoft provides Windows updates or we use SCCM and other patch management tools to update it for us.

What about the implementation team?

Anyone can complete the installation, it does not require help from an integrator or a consultant.

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

Microsoft charges a lot for every license, but they don't provide support with it by default.

Instead of charging for support, they should provide support with it.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution for anyone who wants to set up their own workspace.

I am satisfied with the functionality of the product but not the support.

I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

Good user interface, good performance, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The user interface of Windows 10 is good. It is better than the earlier versions. Its performance is also better than the earlier versions. These are the two good points for me."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 for accessing Microsoft Office or a few other things. I am using the latest version.

What is most valuable?

The user interface of Windows 10 is good. It is better than the earlier versions. Its performance is also better than the earlier versions. These are the two good points for me.

What needs improvement?

The apps view that I get on my screen is not much useful for me. If I have to search for anything, I go to the Search bar and type there. 

They can maybe include integration with some third-party products.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is working fine as of now.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My organization has around 8,000 to 10,000 users. We all are using Windows 10. We will continue to use it. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I never contacted them.

How was the initial setup?

I don't know. I didn't install it myself. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

What is our primary use case?

Windows 10 is useful for running computers and applications. 

This solution is deployed on-premise. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Windows 10 is the usability. The performance, security, and user interface are good. 

What needs improvement?

Windows 10 could be improved by making the price cheaper. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since its launch, so for a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable and the performance is good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Windows 10 is scalable. There are about 300 people in my organization using this solution. 

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

Before implementing Windows 10, I was using Windows 7, and before that, I was using Windows XP. I switched because I was just upgrading to a newer version. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation was easy and straightforward. I did it myself, and it took about 30 minutes. For deployment and maintenance, we have a team of about four admins. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

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

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. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten and would recommend it to others.
