Operations Manager at Cognitive Global
Mostly stable and setup isn't complicated
Pros and Cons
- "Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations."
- "At the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen."
For how long have I used the solution?
This is a new laptop, so I've been using it for less than a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't had any issues with my system. But at the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen. I believe it was a patch update in February at the beginning of the year, if I'm not mistaken. So, we were getting a lot of calls. Yeah, that was the only issue I found. But otherwise, Windows was totally fine because we are all familiar with it.
How are customer service and support?
So far, Microsoft support has been okay. But then again, we have in-house support. So, before it goes to the Microsoft team, most issues are handled by our team. We have a structured support team, so I haven't had any problems so far.
How was the initial setup?
Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations. It's not something normal users deal with. So if you ask an average user, they might say it's a bit complex, but otherwise, no.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We primarily use yearly subscriptions because organizations prefer bundled packages that you pay for annually. We also recommend that. Who wants to pay every month?
What other advice do I have?
I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
