Windows 10 Reviews

The solution is used as an operating system for running applications, such as email, spreadsheets, file sharing, and Oracle.

Additionally, we use Windows because it is a requirement of both applications and for many businesses. Windows is at the center of the application. We use it for the POS applications that run on Navision ERP from Microsoft. 

Windows 10 is easier for people to learn than other alternative solutions. Microsoft has been doing a very good job recently with updates and integrations, such as the collaboration with Ubuntu.

Windows 7 and Windows 10 are identical. However, Windows 10 is the slowest of all the variants. You need to use a solid-state drive if you are going to run Windows. Otherwise, once you install it, and give it some time it is going to slow your whole system down. Especially if you are using the internet, it is going to slow your system down fast. Additionally, it could be more secure as Windows 10 is more vulnerable to viruses. 

This solution is very different from Linux where everything that you run is a process. Windows is not as fast as Linux, it is slower when you run processes, but Windows has something that attracts you to it and I think it is because of familiarity.

Microsoft monitors what you are doing. If they removed telemetry, Cortana, and other snooping tactics it would be a lot faster. The updates have to be watched because they can have some surprises related to the gathering of information.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

We have approximately 600 systems running Windows.

We have not used support from Microsoft. 

We have previously used Windows 7, Windows Server, and Linux.

The installation is easy and is very fast.

We have a team of 20 that does the maintenance and deployment of this solution.

There is a one-time license purchase for Windows 10.

I have evaluated Windows 11.

I would prefer Linux to Microsoft. However, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 and they have made some great advancements. We will see in the near future the new features.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

We use the solution as an operating system. 

Windows versions before 2016 had a lot of stability problems. When cybersecurity teams tested these devices or operating systems, we found many vulnerabilities to exploit. That's why if I could make solutions for a company, I'd migrate many things to other operating systems like Linux, Cisco, or other alternatives. Most of our company now opts for Windows because 99 percent of users can use it. But I prefer to use Linux for support, engineering, or design teams - the technical teams.

The tool needs to offer more information on hard drives. 

I have been working with the product for four to five years. 

I haven't contacted technical support yet. 

I recommend Windows 10 for beginners. But when an engineer or technician grows higher, I recommend migrating to Linux. It's very useful and very stable. As for rating Windows 10 on a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a seven.

I use Windows 10 as an operating system for running applications. We have more than 300 employees. Almost all of them are running Windows 10. 

Windows 10 is easy to use. I like the built-in antivirus features. 

PowerShell could be improved. 

I have used Windows 10 for 10 years.

Windows 10 is stable. 

Microsoft's support is good, but it takes them a long time to respond. 

Windows 10 is easy to set up.

I rate Microsoft Windows 10 an eight out of ten. 

I am impressed with the tool's interface and navigation. 

The tool needs to include NetMeeting which helps people to collaborate. 

I have been using the solution since its launch. 

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

I would rate the product's scalability a six out of ten. My company has around 600 users for the tool. 

The tool's initial setup is very complex. You have to insert the disc and copy the files. We use the tool's desktop version. 

We have IT teams who are capable of the product's installation. 

The product's commercial pricing is high. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. We have a team of four people who manage the tool. 

We use Windows 10 for our personal applications. 

I like the stability, the performance and the ease of use. We have not had any problems with the solution. 

It would be nice to have more integration with other platforms, something which is always welcome. 

The solution is quite stable, a feature which I like. 

The solution is scalable. 

We have not contacted technical support, although we are entitled to premium support when needed. 

With most of our users we use Windows 10. When it comes to some of the older versions, we go with Windows Symantec. 

The installation is quite straightforward.

I do not know how long it took. 

I believe that the technical team involved in the installation consists of a large number when one accounts for the developers. 

Perhaps an additional 20 or 25 people are required for the deployment. This obviously depends on innumerable factors, such as the number of end users or servers involved or how many instances of the operating system are running. 

The price could possibly be improved, although I cannot know this for certain. 

I do not know the specifics of the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement of which I am not involved. 

While I have not contacted technical support, we are entitled to premium support when needed. 

The solution is fine as is. I do not see shortcomings in it. 

Windows PATH has been used exclusively. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten. 

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for personal use. I don't run anything business-related on Windows. I use it from time-to-time and it's deployed on-premises. I use it a couple of times a year, whenever I occasionally need to do small tasks, like copy files that only Windows has access to. 

The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient. 

This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. For instance, Docker containers is technology that was introduced with Linux and they just decided that it was usable. The primary reason why I rarely use Windows is that it's not interesting from a development perspective. 

An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates. My wife uses Windows as well and after the update, her computer was no longer usable. It was what we call the "blue screen of death." It had to be erased and started up from scratch, which was a nightmare. It seems that they aren't testing their updates anymore, they're just pushing them, and they're not propagating the updates to everybody. They're propagating to a specific, small portion of people. Only after do they check if everything is okay. If there's no bad feedback, then they increase the scope, release the updates to the wider public, and so on. Windows is a paid operating system, so this is not normal and not okay. I would expect this from open source technologies, but even these are better. We are using the open source version of Ubuntu, which is free, and it's still way better than the updates for Microsoft operating systems. I have only worked with the desktop version of Windows 10, so I don't know how things work for the server operating systems, but at least for the common user of Windows 10, it's a nightmare. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

This solution is stable, but updates affect this too. The operating system is stable until an update causes everything to crash. This happens more often that not, I would say. My wife has had two issues with this. On two separate occasions, her computer has crashed just because of the updates. Every time her computer restarts because of an update that needs to be installed, she is afraid that her computer will stop working. 

I'm not sure because I am the only one who uses Windows, and even then it's on very rare occasions. 

I have never dealt with Microsoft technical support. 

I haven't installed Windows myself. My wife says that Windows was already installed and licensed along with the machine that she purchased. 

I implemented through a vendor team. Windows 10 came with the laptop my wife purchased. 

Our Windows 10 license was purchased with a laptop. 

I also use the open source version of Ubuntu Linux, which is free and still runs better than Windows 10. If you are technically proficient, I recommend going with Ubuntu Linux. If not, go with Windows. 

For cloud-based software, I use G Suite Enterprise. I use this software to communicate with customers who need to record videos and other things like that, and I prefer it over Zoom. 

I would rate Windows 10 a five out of ten, primarily because the updates for the desktop version are a nightmare and need improvement. I recommend Windows to anybody who isn't technically proficient. Otherwise, go with Ubuntu Linux. 

I am using Windows 10 on my personal and work computers. Everything application that I use has to go through Windows 10. I could not do anything without it.

I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products.

I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion.

Overall, it was easier to reach different programs in the previous version.

In an upcoming release of Windows 10, I would like to see less. There are too many elements or settings. I prefer the operating system to be very minimal because it's only the base to access all the software. It doesn't need to be cumbersome, it should contain what we need and nothing more. For example, the weather, or similar features, only take up memory.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

I have found it is not scalable.

I have contacted Microsoft support but not for Windows 10. I have spoken to them about all the Office 365 products. They're very quick and I really appreciate them, it's very nice to work with the Microsoft technician. I'm not a Microsoft person, I don't work for Microsoft, but nevertheless, it's a very nice team.

The installation of Windows 10 is quite quick. Windows 10 is a large piece of software and needs time to get installed, but it's quite user-friendly. It takes time, it can't take five minutes to install an operating system, it's okay. It's user-friendly, the installation is quite easy, even for normal users. I'm an admin, but for normal users, I think it's easy as well.

I did the installation of my home computer and at work, I did it through an image, or through an SCCM, which other products are offered by Microsoft.

My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it.

A normal user I would advise them to follow the instruction when you install Windows 10 and use the search function because everything can be found in the search function. There's lots of information you can find in the browser, in a Google search. We talking about a very specific product. Windows 10 is an operating system, it's not real software, it's difficult to evaluate.

I rate Windows 10 seven out of ten.

The solution is basically used for our work processes. We use it for daily communication.

In terms of Microsoft products, for me, the most important aspect is integration. You are provided with integration between all of these different tools from one vendor. 

For communication, Microsoft Teams is quite good. I like it.

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable. The cloud product has scalability as well.

Microsoft recently has been doing a lot to improve their products and we've been happy with the advances. 

If we talk about Windows, it's too generic.

The enterprise version I have contains many things that are not intended to be enterprise; they are intended for home customers. This includes things like some games and some stuff like that. It needs to be more streamlined and customized for business users. 

I've been using the solution for a couple of years now. It's likely been around four or so.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. The performance is good.

The solution has been very scalable, especially if you take advantage of the cloud deployment model. If a company needs to expand it, it's easy enough to do so.

We have this solution on every computer, It's used by thousands of people within our organization.

Sometimes I need to contact technical support to give me some additional rights or something like that. Or to install something that I don't have, as a corporate company and you cannot just install everything you want on your computer. You have to ask for support. This is our internal team, however. 

I have never called Microsoft myself. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

At other companies, I did use other products. However, here, it's always been Windows. 

I don't deal with the installation process. Our IT department does it. It's not my problem.

There's an internal team that deals with maintenance as well. I do not have to worry about that.

We have an IT department that can internally handle any implementations. 

I'm not aware of the costs involved in the product. I do not handle licensing.

We are a customer and an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pleased with its capabilities in the years we've used it.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. It works well.
