Windows 10 Reviews

The most valuable features are the interface and the speed of switching between processes.

One of the problems with Windows 10 is that it hangs when you open multiple programs. For example, if you are running 10 to 15 applications then the performance will slow down to something similar to Windows 7. Often, I will have Microsoft Office open, as well as my development tools, and once I have been using them for perhaps 20 minutes, everything slows down. Switching between applications at that point can take two or three minutes.

I have been having some trouble with the .NET framework and it took me a full day to install it. The problem seems to be that every time it connects to Microsoft online, it is different. After several attempts, I was finally able to succeed.

I have been using Windows 10 for about six months.

Other than the problem with having many applications open, it is stable. I haven't had any issues with the other functionality. 

Most of the people in our company use Windows 10. Some have desktops and some have laptops.

I have not had to contact technical support. Any problems that I have had, I was able to solve on my own.

Windows 10 came pre-installed on my laptop and it was easy to set up. It only took a few minutes to do.

Overall, Windows 10 is a good operating system.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Windows 10 is used for running my personal and business applications.

I have found Windows 10 to be very user-friendly and has good performance.

Major update, that poses an issue should be able to be rolled back.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately a couple of years.

The solution is stable.

We have approximately 500 users using this solution in my organization.

The technical support has been fine. They have good knowledge and are responsive.

The installation is simple and takes 30 minutes or less.

I am able to do the implementation of the solution myself.

The support technicians usually do the support of the solution.

There is an annual subscription to use this solution.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.

We're using a combination of Windows Server and Red Hat Linux on servers. Our user base is around 12,000-plus. I use Windows 10 for personal and business applications.

Windows 10 is easy to use. 

We've been using Windows 10 since it was first released. 

Windows 10 hasn't crashed much since I've been using it. 

I have not had any experience trying to scale up Windows 10.

I'm satisfied with Window support.

It was automatically upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The whole process took about one and a half hours.

If the Windows 10 license could be cheaper, that would be better. Generally, a reduced price is always beneficial for consumers.

I rate Windows 10 a nine out of 10. We are recommending it for all of our new clients. 

I have a couple of versions. On the business laptop, I use the business version. On my personal laptop, I also use Windows 10 that I bought. I use it for both personal and professional use.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It would be better if it were more stable. Security could also be better.

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years.

It's not really stable, and it should be improved. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

I implemented this operating system by myself at home. At work, it was installed by the IT team. The time depends on the hardware—roughly 20 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend this operating system to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Windows 10 a six.

We like that the patches are automatic. It takes away a lot of the administrative burden, from a security point of view, on the environment. You do not really need to worry about patch management on a Windows 10 machine, as it automatically does it. Those are the benefits that we see from a management point of view.

For personal or professional setups, the solution works well.

The solution is stable.

We find the solution to be quite scalable. 

It does what it's meant to do. You don't want the platform to do anything more than what it's doing at the moment. It gives you the analytics. It gives you the right security posture. You can draw on it. It can integrate with other solutions. 

What we like about the stack of products is if you manage it on a management console, it cuts across the enterprise. That's a benefit in terms of your rollout strategy. It's quicker to deploy, easier to deploy, and it definitely affects the user to a large degree. It doesn't consume too many resources on your endpoint.

Technical support is great in South Africa.

The whole point of Microsoft is it's a phenomenal stack of products. However, Microsoft must realize that it's operating in Africa. We cannot pay US dollars. For the cost of Microsoft Windows 10, it's just not affordable for the majority of the population in South Africa. Who's going to spend that amount of money when people are barely affording to live? It's costly.

I've been using the solution for the last 18 months. It's been over a year so far. 

The stability of the solution is very good. there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is good. If a company needs to expand the product, it can do so.

W have 50 users on Microsoft right now. 

In South Africa, we have great technical support from Microsoft. It comes down to the training and the availability of resources and that is great.

We did not previously use a different solution. We've always used Microsoft.

The deployment is very easy. The initial setup is simple. There are zero hassles. 

I didn't do the installation personally, however, I know we just did a deployment for about 50 users, and it took us about a day to deploy it.

You can do it just by yourself. The guidelines and the training and so forth that Microsoft provides for users are great. If you follow that, it's great. From a Microsoft point of view, if you follow the step-by-step guide, it's easy to deploy. You don't need an integrator or consultant. 

The solution is overpriced for the region.

We pay a licensing fee on a monthly basis. 

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

As a cloud-based solution, we're using the latest version of the product.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been happy with its capabilities in general. 

We would recommend the solution to other users. 

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for any type of office work - emails, remote connectivity, document management, storage and the like. I'm an associate partner. 

From a user standpoint, the GUI has been enhanced as well as some add-ons with respect to news, forecasts, GPS. I think overall there are some good features and it has the single click advantage. Also, the entire integration supports the 365 Suite.

I'd like to see some sort of technical notification service reminder regarding hardware health. It's a feature that could help because I get quite a lot of Microsoft Office crashes. It asks whether you want to report them and then the notification disappears into thin air. I also think that task manager needs to be a little more graphical in nature, with more user analytics and I'd also like to know usages so I can run an operating system sometimes, multitasking, things like that. There are sometimes connectivity issues when there is any sort of power fluctuation with the adapter or from the main, and I think that area needs improvement. If there are power surges, or the adapter is not able to send the required power to the BIOS, there should be alerts. The other big one for me is integration with the hardware so that, for example, a user can know if there's a problem of dead pixels on the screen, some sort of predictive analytics on that front would be helpful. 

I've been using this solution for about three years. 

The solution is stable despite some crashes that I've experienced. On the whole it's performance has improved and optimization-wise, the issues are not generally visible to the end user. 

They've done a good job from a scalability perspective because if you look at the different systems that are enabled, the operating system does a good job.

I recommend this solution, it's been tried and tested over years and I am very comfortable with it. At the end of the day, it's about affordability, and Microsoft OS stands out from that perspective.

I rate the solution eight out of 10. 

We primarily use it as a secure operating system. I'm using an operating system in an environment like a bank. Right now, it's a trendy system to use.

Windows is a mature product now and it's secure enough compared to its past versions. There are other operating systems, even if you like Linux or Mac, however, this product now has an acceptable risk level and it's improved over the years.

I'm in a banking environment and I'll see people are using the operating system for everything.

The solution is stable.

The product is easy to install.

What I am expecting is that soon this will be their last product for me, however, if they go for the next Windows version, that they'll definitely change the kernel to Linux from the current one. Linux is more secure, and, although this solution has come a long way, it would be helpful if they could continue to develop the security aspects of the product.

There likely should be fewer releases going forward. 

I've been using the solution for around two years at this point. It's been a while. 

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. We had an issue only once about three months ago, where there was an update after which there was application crashed. That said, as a whole, yes, it is a stable operating system.

It's an operating system, and therefore, there isn't really anything about it that needs to scale. It's not an aspect that you need to worry about.

We have 5,000 users on the solution currently.

I don't directly deal with technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I've used multiple solutions in the past, including Fedora, CentOS, and Ubuntu - both server and client versions.

I've been switching the operating system based on requirements since 2008. Before 2008, I would stick to Windows only.

The product is very simple to implement. Any kid can install it. It's just a matter of clicks. Nowadays, almost every operating system is a matter of clicks. Installation is not an issue.

I'm not sure how much of a technical team we have to handle any maintenance responsibilities. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pleased with its overall capabilities.

Whether or not I would recommend the solution depends on the company. If it's working on open source, then it should stick to Linux. If it's working on closed source too and the company is not worried about the source or any application on the Linux system, then they should remain on Windows. Basically, it depends on the usage.

We use Windows 10 for business purposes such as providing email access.

I utilize the solution for very basic needs. I don't use many features, just those for topping up the operating system and Office product applications.

The solution could be faster and demonstrate better performance. It is a bit on the slow side.

The solution is stable in respect to the majority of its security features.

The solution is scalable and we plan to continue to utilize it and to increase its usage. 

I cannot comment on the technical support. 

I did not handle the installation.

I believe the licensing is on an annual subscription basis.

I recommend the solution to others who are contemplating its use.

I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten.
