Windows 10 Reviews

It is deployed on both cloud and on-prem.

I use a computing device, but it can be used for multiple functions and multiple aspects.

The two main features that I have found valuable are its ease of use and that we are used to using Windows.

In the next release, I would like improvement regarding stability plus performance.

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

Windows 10 is stable. Clearly there are multiple vulnerabilities, multiple issues that happen, but otherwise it works.

Windows 10 is scalable. We have around 3 to 4,000 people using it. And we have 20 - 25 admins or managers responsible for it.

The support is okay.

I previously tried Windows 7.

It was a straightforward installation. It took 15 - 20 minutes.

You can install it by yourself or with the help of the consultant\integrator.

It offers a yearly and a monthly subscription. Yearly is the one we are using.

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

We use Windows 10 for personal applications and for selections of networking for our clients.

It's very simple to use.

I would like to see the price reduced.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately three years.

Windows 10 is a very stable product. We don't have any issues with the stability of this solution, now with the new patches that have been added.

As Windows 10 is an operating system, there is no need to scale it.

We use Windows 10 for both technologies, personal and for clients.

We have approximately 2,000 users in our organization who are using this solution.

We have not contacted technical support for Windows 10. We have not had the need to contact Windows technical support. We have not had any issues.

We have always been using Windows. We have been upgrading as Windows evolves. We used Windows XP, then Windows created Windows 7, 8, and now 10.

It was easy to install Windows 10. It took approximately 30 minutes to install.

We have a team of six administrators to maintain this solution.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use the help of a consultant or integrator.

They could provide better pricing for the licensing.

It's a one-time payment when you purchase the system.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

Most of the best Windows 10 features are centered around getting you where you want to go faster. The new right-click menu is fantastic from an IT perspective. It gives access to many commonly used tools, like Device Manager, Computer Management, PowerShell, Task Manager and Programs and Features, right from the desktop. The new Task Manager is also much more fully featured and informative.

The overall speed of Windows 10 is fantastic as well. It boots quickly, shuts down quickly, and the overall use is snappy and responsive.

Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise come with fully featured Hyper-V. Desktop admins can create VMs for testing purposes without the need for extra machines.

Users can use Miracast to the Surface Hub, which is great for meetings and client walkthroughs.

The settings and control panel are oddly disjointed. Things that show up in the Control Panel do not always show up in Settings and vice-versa. It is a pain to remember what is where.

We have used this nine months in production.

There is also a tremendous amount of bloatware on Windows 10. Without performing offline maintenance on the image, you have to clean up quite a bit of stray apps and consumer level services to get it to be usable in a corporate environment.

Our version of Trend caused Windows 10 to freeze unexpectedly at random times. Only after Trend released a compatible version did the issues subside and the OS become stable.

We use SCCM, so scalability is no issue, once the imaging process was ironed out.

We primarily use online forums and communities unless you want to pay Microsoft to open a support case. It does benefit from being the most popular OS on the planet, as there is amble advice out there from third parties.

We used Windows 7 and are migrating to be ahead of the support EOL.

It takes a few iterations of installing Windows 10 to get everything tweaked to a place of having a smooth imaging and configuration process. Little things like registry tweaks, GPO tweaks, take time to iron out. Having an imaging solution is a must to scale in any way.

We implemented it in-house. I did the implementation.

Get a KMS server and a volume license if you are a medium sized business. Being able to wipe and re-image is crucial for long term stability of your fleet. Having a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) makes it so every new activation counts against your total.

Work with a reseller like CDW to get licensing costs that fit your needs, as Microsoft's model is confusing.

We did not evaluate other options. We need to use Windows to support our finance applications.

Windows 10 is the best parts of Windows 8 and Windows 7 rolled into one. Windows 8 started a lot of features and functions that shine here in Windows 10, while the criticism has allowed Microsoft to work at user experience more for this iteration. There is a bit too much bloatware by default, and some strange decisions about settings aside, it is a great OS that should only get better with time.

The solution is mostly used by our employees for their daily office work. We use the solution in the IT industry.

The solution provides multitasking features. We use Windows 10 because our employees are more familiar with Windows than Linux. Windows 10 is more user-friendly than Linux.

The solution's resource usage for the user could be improved. Somehow, we cannot control the usage in the back end. We cannot control what the user has installed in their system. Sometimes, there is a spike in the solution's usage. We are not using the solution's security feature because we got a report from our security team that it is not quite good.

I have been using the solution for four to five years.

We haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

Around 15 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution’s initial setup is easy. The deployment takes less than one hour.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution’s initial setup an eight out of ten.

The biggest value we get from Windows 10 is its compatibility and user-friendly UI.

The solution is a bit expensive.

In Windows 10, we have Windows Defender for security. We haven't faced any compatibility issues with Windows 10, and it works normally with our system. I would recommend the solution to other users because most people are familiar with Windows.

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

The solution is being used for our daily operations, for some web browsing, some learning purposes, and also documentation purposes. 

Windows 10 is user friendly and is a high performing solution. The solution is compatible with the new system but it does not support outdated systems. 

The security features in Windows 10 can be improved. 

The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper. 

I have been using Windows 10 for more than four years. 

Windows 10 is a highly stable solution. I rate the stability of the solution a ten out of ten. 

Almost everyone in my organisation uses Windows 10. The scalability of the solution is an eight out of ten. 

Windows 10's initial setup is straightforward. The solution was deployed in a minute. For the deployment, a USB drive or a boot drive or desk is required and you need to install an operating system.

The organisation where I work provide me with the licensed version of Windows 10 but personally, I have used the pilot advance version. 

I advise others to use Windows 10 because it is not complex and it is very user-friendly.

Overall I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I prioritize stability and performance, so I'm accustomed to the Windows interface. When I attempt tasks on Linux, it feels unfamiliar to me. Prolonged usage, familiarity should lead to efficiency.

Active Directory configuration for administrators makes it very easy to manage the environment in companies or universities at an enterprise level, making it possible to do everything.

The solution could improve the availability and compatibility of applications like Linux. Additionally, refining the file transfer process to ensure smoother transitions between different applications or systems would be beneficial. Lastly, ensuring seamless compatibility with common file formats like PowerPoint presentations could enhance user experience and efficiency on Windows platforms. It should have less frequent updates for the UI and threats. I started with Windows 95. Sometimes, there are changes in the user interface, so some services and tools are in different places than in the previous version. It takes some time to get used to it.

The solution should improve the Windows startup process by allowing users to customise which components launch at startup is a valid one. This would give users more control over their system's performance and resource usage. Implementing a feature that allows users to easily manage startup programs and services, perhaps through a dedicated settings menu or a startup manager tool, could address this issue. This way, users could disable or enable specific applications and services according to their preferences, optimizing their system's performance and startup time. Additionally, providing clear information about the impact of each startup item on system resources could help users make informed decisions about which components to enable or disable.

I have been using Windows for 15 years.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability eight or nine out of ten.

The solution’s scalability is good.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

The IT department, specifically the ICT team, provides support for this. Several people are involved. They manage the computer rooms, including installation and updates. A new installation is required every year because students change. I manage computers, adhering to organizational rules.

The initial setup is fast.

You need to pay for a license for Windows 10 every month.

Windows Defender aims to provide users with a secure computing experience, and it's advisable to keep your system updated to take advantage of the latest security enhancements.

I use a computer with only four gigabytes of RAM. There are ten nodes in my notebook. I plan to buy a new one with a huge RAM memory, but currently, only four gigabytes work in one node, while eight gigabytes work in an external computer. The system startup is very slow because the newest version of Windows requires more memory. Many services are running. It should change how Windows starts. Some components, like Skype, start automatically with Windows.

The solution's configuration is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

As a Microsoft Tester, I like enabling the Microsoft Hyper-V and running the Virtual Machines for testing purposes.

I like Windows products.

Some time ago we had Windows Forms, but it did not perform well enough and Microsoft ended up terminating that area of the business.

I believe that it would be beneficial to introduce Windows Forms back into the solution to have a better experience transitioning from a desktop to a mobile version.

Currently, we are experiencing a lot of activities from hackers. People trying to break into the networks to access our data. This is an issue that is causing concern. I don't see a way of making it better or different. This became a large business for hackers. 

It would be great to have a more secure interface, especially in a business environment of critical content. For example, our company has a very high level of governance and security procedures.

There are many updates on a monthly basis. I understand that is how Microsoft helps their customers to manage and be secure with regard to Cyberattacks that we may experience. From a user's perspective, it's not a good experience. From an IT perspective, I know how important those things are.

It should be something that runs more in the background where it is not seen and has less of an impact than they usually have.

When we roll out any Microsoft patch across the Network which is done every Thursday, it had not seen a few computers having issues. That's bringing us X amount of work because we need to remediate the user's issue and all those things.

If Microsoft could find a way to better manage updates and patches, that could be more useful for end users, which would be good.

From an IT perspective, I would like something similar to Splunk where it has some type of visibility, or provide the user with power, or something that we could enable. For example, if we were attacked, we could enable something or download something as a part of the Microsoft portfolio to provide us with more visibility about the threat that is floating around.

I have been working with Windows 10 since it's been on the market.

My opinion is that Windows 10 is very stable.

I have not had many opportunities to contact technical support but have a few times.

My last contact with them was regarding server versions, which involved Exchange 2013, and few other things, and also about Windows 10 support.

My experience with enterprise support was good and we didn't have any issues, but specifically with Windows 10, it's wasn't a good experience.

Microsoft should have the same level of service. I was expecting more from Microsoft.

We are also working with all Microsoft operational systems, from Windows 10 to Windows Servers, Active Directory, and Office 365.

I have worked with Windows since Windows 95 and it has changed a lot. It is very quick to deploy.

It is different when you analyze things and think in a more technical way, but even a non-technical person could install Windows from scratch with no issues.

I am currently studying for Microsoft Administrator, but I don't have hands-on experience with Key Vault.

I would recommend Windows 10 to others who are interested in using it.

The Microsoft portfolio is quite large. It is difficult to think of what Microsoft hasn't already developed so far.

I would rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

I use the Windows Operating System. It all works for daily data operations.

It offers third-party or media environment support. I also like native environment support. Camera, microphone, multimedia instruments, browsers, and patent integrations are better than Linux.

System resource consumption is more than Linux.

I would like better RAM and better memory optimization.  

I have been using it for almost a decade now. 

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. The memory optimization is not there yet.

This isn't an operating system for network operations. That's why a single operating system. There are around a hundred end users. 

We plan to increase the further usage. 

I used Linux and Solaris. 

The initial setup was easy. It took an hour. 

Just consultant and user. Deployment is just a few simple clicks after you attach the USB drive.  

We needed around three people from the technical team to handle the installation. They were admins and IT managers. 

The ROI is okay. 

It is only a one-time purchase. I can use it for a lifetime. 

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. I would recommend it from an end-user's operating system.
