An intuitive operating system that's stable and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support."
  • "It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well."

What is our primary use case?

Whenever we sell equipment with a personal computer, our customers request Windows 10, and we install it.

What is most valuable?

I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support.

What needs improvement?

It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. 

To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for five years or since it was available in the marketplace.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I personally think that it's a very stable operating system. We used to have several issues with other operating systems, but we don't have any issues with Windows 10. This is because the updates are made automatically, and we also have several ways to back up our work. Most of the time, I forget that there is any trouble on a laptop or the desktop.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think it's scalable. If you get legal licenses, you can move up to the new version without any problem. This is what we used to do.

How are customer service and technical support?

I contacted technical support once , and it was a very good experience.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple for me because I'm an IT integrator. However, I know that it's complicated for my customers just to install it. Most of the time, they don't want to learn how to do it. They always tell us to do it for them and to give it in ready-to-use mode.

What about the implementation team?

I'm an integrator and I install and deploy this solution. 

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

It's not cheap, and it's one of the inconveniences. Most of the time, we use group licensing, permitting us to install servers for three months. When we want to have personal licenses, it costs too much here in Senegal.

What other advice do I have?

I will recommend this solution because it's intuitive. Also, we have a Windows culture here, and people like to use it.

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