Windows 10 Reviews

Our main use for Windows 10 is as a platform to host our enterprise applications.

We like the productivity.

Most importantly, it's everywhere. 

The compatibility of applications factor is the main reason to choose the Microsoft operating system.

The update cycle could use some improvement. There have been a lot of zero-day security issues that have mostly been met, but, the way Microsoft handled these could sometimes be less user disruptive. 

It could be more secure, which is our main concern from a company's perspective.

The technical support could also be improved.

We have been using Windows 10 since 2015.

We are using the latest version.

We deployed it on-premises and it has also been deployed as Azure Virtual Desktop.

It is stable enough for our purposes.

Windows 10 is definitely scalable. We have 300 users in our organization who use it.

Technical support is a bit varied. Depending on the type of technical support that you need, most are very responsive and usually, they are quite knowledgeable.

There is definitely room for improvement, especially with more complex and less straightforward questions. It tends to stay in the area of data gathering.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

The length of time for deployment depends on the scale, 

On a one-for-one basis, and using the automation tools that are provided with additional licensing, we use Microsoft Endpoint manager for this. it doesn't take very much time.

We have three people to manage it on a day-to-day basis.

Pricing depends on the type of license. If you are an enterprise customer, you can pay for licensing on a monthly basis. 

We, however, are an educations firm, we pay for our licensing on an annual basis. It also depends on the relationship you have with Microsoft.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Windows 10 an eight.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Windows 10 since it was launched.

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

It's a scalable solution.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I am an application developer and Windows 10 is the environment that I prefer to use.

Microsoft technology is very simple and user friendly.

Some of the features that I like are Skype and the Windows Store. 

Most of Microsoft Office is essential to use.

OneNote and Visio are features that I use in my day-to-day activities.

Windows needs improvements made with respect to security because it is still vulnerable. Often, there are vulnerabilities found that they are releasing patches for. For example, Windows servers are still not very difficult to hack. When I was working with their products several years ago, it was really easy to break the Windows Server password.

There are some features such as wireless display and remote desktop connections that are not available in the Home Edition, but it would be really helpful for home users to have access to these.

I would like to see some kind of tool that can be used to plug in and connect to Azure technologies.

Of course, there are issues or bugs that are found, and we can help by reporting them to the Windows team. There regularly work on them and provide patches to update and fix them as soon as possible.

I have not personally spoken with Microsoft technical support for Windows 10 because there is a team in our office that deals with them directly.

I have experience with Linux, but Windows 10 is more user-friendly in easier to use. In Linux, you have to remember command syntax, but in Windows, this is not required. A lot of help for Windows users is available.

The initial setup is really straightforward. It is plug-and-play and you don't need much experience or learning before performing the setup.

In summary, my experience with Windows 10 is really good and I like most of the features. It is easy to use compared to other operating systems like Ubuntu. They provide the entire ecosystem including tools and technologies, and Microsoft has that whole umbrella available. It makes you feel comfortable.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The solution makes our organization better.

The product is easy to use. I like the snipping tool and the network utility tool. The interface is nice. The configuration is easy.

Sometimes, the product hangs, and we have to restart the PC to make it work again. The interface must be made faster.

I have been using the solution since it was released.

I rate the product’s stability a seven out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability a seven out of ten. The scalability could be improved.

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. The deployment took one hour.

The deployment was done in-house. We need one to five people to deploy the solution.

I rate the ROI a five out of ten.

I rate the pricing a five out of ten. The product is not that cheap. There are no additional costs associated with the tool.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for accessing emails, browsers, and RDP.

The product is user-friendly. It is a flexible solution. It allows you to choose between versions.

The product is exposed to more threats compared to Mac.

I have been using the solution since it was released.

Mac has limited features compared to Windows. The product’s reboot time has been incredibly reduced. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I use Windows 10 to run personal and business applications. 

We had some issues deploying Windows 10 for our clients.

I've been using Windows 10 for about four years.

Windows 10 is stable and scalable.

It took us about a month to deploy Windows 10 for all the users last time. There are 600,000 users in our company. 

I would rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. 

I primarily use the solution for work purposes. 

In terms of my company, it's giving me a Windows laptop, so that is why I'm using it. I can say that Microsoft Office works really well in Windows rather than on any other OS.

Many people are using Windows 10. There wouldn't be much if any compatibility issues when you have to share any information.

You can actually mirror your phones on Windows, without installing meaning third-party applications, which I really liked.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The solution scales well.

Technical support seem to be helpful. 

I generally have a better user experience using macOS than Windows. 

I could actually see a lot of bugs and glitches. The performance of Windows is not that great.

They could optimize the OS for all devices.

If they could avoid the constant bombarding of the updates, which happens, that would be appreciated.

The stability isn't ideal. There are bugs and glitches. I've seen performance issues. This, of course, is in comparison to Mac, which is largely problem-free. 

The scalability is pretty good, actually. When it comes to the enterprise solutions that Windows offers, scalability is never an issue.

We have around 250 people on the solution right now. 

We do have plans to increase usage. We may end up doubling it.

I haven't used Microsoft support directly, however, in terms of the people who are setting it up in my company, they are good with the support on offer and are satisfied with the service they get. They will get back to you with an answer. 

We've always used Windows. We did not use anything else previously. 

The initial setup is pretty easy as people know the system and are comfortable with Windows - especially when it comes to server management. And whenever they want to control any other appliances, Windows is the way to go.

That said, I'm not sure how long the deployment process actually took.

In my company, likely three people were involved with the initial setup. They also handle maintenance. 

There is an ROI in terms of being able to upgrade. You can upgrade your hardware or the solution every five years or so. 

I would not say it's expensive. It has an extensive range of options. If you're just looking at the OS perspective, there is no comparison. 

You don't know how much does a macOS costs you, as it comes with the hardware. I would say that, with the performance that Windows delivers, it's not justifiable that Windows is charging the money they do. That said, I would say that it is not expensive. 

There might be a Windows setup fee when you buy the license, however, I am not 100% certain this is the case. 

Our company uses the product. I am just an end-user. 

I'm pretty neutral in terms of recommending it to anyone. There are pros and cons. 

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. 

We are using this solution for running personal applications.

Most of our users have it installed on their laptops and desktops.

It is easy to install and has good information.

The interface could be more user-friendly.

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

We are using the latest version.

The technical support is good.

Previously, I used Windows 7.

It's easy to install.

It can be deployed in 20 or 30 minutes.

I completed the installation myself.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.
