Windows 10 Reviews

The solution is used as the main operating system for end-user clients.

The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.

There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10. The solution's identity and access management could be better. There are some compliance blind spots regarding security threats in Windows 10.

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

I also use Windows 11. You already have encryption on Windows 11, but you need something like BitLocker for encryption on Windows 10.

It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.

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

It is an operating system. I use it for browsing on Google. I use it for my work and personal reasons.

The user interface is good.

The on-premise product is costly. It would be good if the product’s price were reduced.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

The product is stable.

I rate the product’s scalability a seven out of ten. We have more than 100 users. We might increase the usage in the future.

I have heard from my administrator that the support is knowledgeable. We can find everything in the documentation.

The tool is easy to deploy. We need a separate license for Microsoft 365. The solution can be deployed on-premises and on the cloud.

The deployment was done by a consultant.

I will recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My primary use case of Windows is to run VMware. We have migrated about 47,000 machines in the environment, all of which are using Windows 10. 

In Microsoft, in general, it's easy to configure the AD Group Policy and the exchange server. Previously, I was working with on-prem, and the PowerShell command is flawless. In our organization, Publisher and AD Group Policy have been beneficial. Also, if you want to switch over to using VMware at the same time, you can switch it. 

One of the most valuable features is the ease of multitasking. It's easy to switch over different applications and multitasking is very free and flawless. Another useful feature is the ability to recover any data from a crash. Multiple benchmarking applications are supported by Windows, which isn't the case with Linux. So in case you need an application, you can Google it, find it, and easily install it. The user experience is also good. If you have the SSD installed in the laptop or machine, it will start like a boom. Windows is always ahead. 

Windows 10 could be improved by providing a data recovery application default. This is the most critical thing I have ever figured out in my career. If you accidentally deleted the data from the machine—the local machine—there is no way to get it back unless you install a third-party application. When your machine is connected to an IP domain, sometimes you won't be able to install a third-party application because it becomes a compliance issue, so you can get in trouble. Windows 10 should provide a data recovery solution.

For additional features, I would like Windows to come with a powerful video editor. If I am developing a presentation or something, I have to find it myself somewhere. If you want to put in GI for any kind of video and do a presentation, it's pretty difficult to open a video, edit it, or do anything. If you have a video, you can simply add it, right? But there's no Microsoft in-house product for that—we have to use Adobe Photoshop or something. There are just some little, very small features that, if Microsoft added, would make life easier. 

I have been working with Windows 10 since I started my career. This is the default machine in India—the first OS is Windows, then Linux, and then Unix. 

Windows 10 is stable. Unless there are any hardware issues or any bugs in an update, Windows performs perfectly. Any patches and updates are directly handled by the SCCM team, and they test it before deploying it. If there are any bugs or if anything is compromised, they will fix it. They won't upload it to the server unless and until it's 110% perfect. 

Windows 10 is easy to scale. We have 47,000 to 48,000 users working on Windows 10, and we have an onboarding team to help them understand how things work, what the policies are, and what the dos and don'ts are. 

Three or four years ago, I contacted Microsoft support. I had a problem with OneDrive, which is a product of Microsoft, so they fixed it. They took six to seven days to get my OneDrive completely back. The experience was wonderful and my problem was resolved. 

We previously worked with Windows 7—the most stable version of the millennium, we called it. It's flawless. That's the word for Windows 7: flawless. Once Windows 10 appeared in the market, it was a little buggy with application updates and packaging. Now, they have stabilized things. 

Windows 7's boot time was much longer than Windows 10, so the UI experience was not too good. You can't install Windows 7 on the touch laptop because it won't give you the 110% exact feel of the touch panel. If you're using a Yoga kind of product—where you have the laptop and you can detach the screen, which then becomes your tablet—you can't use Windows 7. Windows 10 has features for tablet mode. 

The process is really, really straightforward. If you have a bootable hard drive, it might take more than 15 to 18 minutes. If someone is deploying it from the local site—not from the server—it's a fairly smooth and flawless process. Most of the instructions are on-screen and it will prompt you to do everything. It's easy to understand because the UI feature is really awesome and built smoothly. A newbie can do it easily. Nothing is in the backend or encrypted within the commands. It's purely simple and easy to deploy locally. 

I have 17 people in the SCCM team who developed the OS as per the organization policies and what we call a golden image. In a project, if a client wants a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, that has to be implanted into the same OS. So they have their labs and they develop it with their security, firewalls, everything. Everything is synchronized from there in the labs, and then it is deployed. 

We implemented through an in-house team. 

Windows 10 has multiple versions—Home, Home Premium, and Enterprise—so the pricing will be different for each version. The pricing is okay and if they're getting sold out, that means people are buying it. I must say, it's a monopoly, but I really like the way Microsoft fits into the monopoly. 

I rate Windows 10 an eight and a half out of ten, just because I have some requirements for improvement, such as the data recovery and video editing screen. 

Windows 10 is easy on the eyes because it has a dark mode feature. We work 16, 17, 18 hours on our laptop—I call it a second wife, because it is sometimes. We have 24 hours in a day, but we spend hours of it on the machine. You should use dark mode and lower the brightness to your liking, and continue your work. You will feel better. 

I use Windows 10 just for application purposes.

It has improved the way our organization functions.

The operating system itself is good, and I use BitLocker for encryption. Another valuable feature is the snipping tool, where you could cut and paste.

I think the user interface can be a little bit better. Improve the menus because navigating the menu could be a little difficult if you don't have any experience.

They need to get rid of that hive registry. Over time, the hive can get defragged, and you have to start installing and uninstalling. It becomes very fragmented and very convoluted with multi-layers. 

Their support could also be better. Sometimes support can get lost when outsourced or outsourced somewhere to a different culture. 

I've been using Windows 10 for over four years.

Stability depends on how programs are written, in terms of memory management and more. But it has become somewhat stable.

Scalability is easier if you're using the VDI or the virtual desktop. If you have to deal with it on an individual basis, then that becomes a little complex and tedious.

Support could be better. But on a scale from one to ten, I'll give Windows 10 support a seven.

We had Linux before. For administration purposes and those types of roles, Windows is more user-friendly. Windows was more user-friendly at the time, but Linux has caught up.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

For those interested in using Windows 10, I would advise them to stay up to date with security patches. The one bad thing about Windows is that it tends to put the system slowly into acquiesce mode, where things stop operating if you don't apply security patches. When it comes to that, the first level of troubleshooting is installing the operating system patches, and then before you know it, everything's working fine again.

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

Most of the staff in the office use PCs but I'm using Windows 10 on my Mac.

We use Windows 10 mostly for document management, Word, Excel, presentations — things of that nature.

We have an additional license. Within our organization, there are 25 people, ranging from finances, registration, faculty members, etc. We also have a student body of around 80, all of whom use Windows 10.

We can be certain of what documents are being worked on and by who — that is, of course, essential. We can also keep better track of who is responsible for what. That's really helpful.

If I am being honest, I'm not a big Microsoft fan myself. I just find it a little bit clumsy, at least with the desktop application, it's just hard to navigate. I find the online interface, the mobile version, a lot more simple to use which makes it easier to collaborate with my staff. When you open up the mobile version, it's already fed to the cloud and you can share it from there, but I think that it could be a generational thing. Most of the staff in my office don't always make sure that the documents are safe in one draft. Sometimes we end up having multiple copies in one day. 

I find the interface with Teams to be very useful. 

I like the library feature (connected to OneDrive). You can check back in-house to see who the last user was — I find that to be extremely helpful.

In terms of Microsoft Word, if the desktop version could be a little bit more like the mobile application, that would be great. It's just easier to navigate.

It's relatively useful, in terms of navigating and finding what I need.

I have been using Windows 10 for at least two years.

Personally, I don't find it to be very stable.

We have our own technical support personnel; however, we have contacted Microsoft support and they were very helpful. I would give them a rating of ten out of ten.

If you're going to use Windows 10, make sure to opt for the staff training. It's two sessions and it's very helpful. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Windows 10 a rating of nine.

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 use it for work purposes on my laptop like Outlook, Excel, and so on. 

It is compatible with most of the applications I use like Office. 

Windows needs to improve the memory process—memory management.   Sometimes, it consumes too much.

I have been using Windows for five years. 

The stability is not bad. I would rate the stability a six out of ten because you need to restart Windows because Windows doesn't manage memory in the best way.

The operating system, if you don't restart it, will slow down.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There are 22 end users in my company using it.

We have plans to increase the number of users, and it is regularly used. 

The initial setup is simple. It's user-friendly.

We can do it in-house. So we only need to put the CD in the laptop, and it's next, next, next. It's very simple.

It took around 30 minutes to install. It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. You can create a virtual machine with Windows 10.

It is not expensive. The licensing costs are okay. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten. Because in the world, it's the most used OS in all companies. It's compatible with all applications.

It is the main operating system of our organization.

I am a basic user. We use it because it is the company policy. I do not have any issues with it. The product is pretty stable.

It takes too long to find files. The search feature could be improved.

I am using the latest version of the solution.

We did not face any issues with stability.

The IT department installs the solution for us. It took them half a day.

We do not use other systems like Oracle. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
