What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's a reliable operating system. It's much more stable than the older version.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, and, if a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

How are customer service and support?

I might not have encountered cases where I needed to contact any technical teams. I was able to solve a few of the problems simply by looking them up on Google. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive their services are. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The process is complex. 

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

We would prefer if Microsoft's pricing was a bit less. 

We only pay for the license. We don't have to pay extra for ancillary services, technical support, or features.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I haven't given it a perfect mark as there is always room for some form of improvement, even on solutions that work quite well.

I'd recommend it to other users and companies.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A scalable and easy to use solution
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use."
  • "The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better."

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

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

The solution comes with a licensing fee.
