A stable and easy-to-install solution that has an efficient mode to limit the resources that the program uses
Pros and Cons
  • "The security features in Windows 11 are always being updated."
  • "From what I've been reading recently about the malware attacks on Windows Office 365 users, I might have some concerns about securing the OS."

What is most valuable?

A few features of Windows 11 are a little bit different from Windows 10. For example, going to the settings and changing it to static IP is a little different. Windows 11 runs smoothly for me, and with Office 365 on it, I have no problems. For Windows 11, I only use Windows Defender that comes with it.

The security features in Windows 11 are always being updated. If my router uses an IP address, the solution also automatically takes on that address.

What needs improvement?

From what I've been reading recently about the malware attacks on Windows Office 365 users, I might have some concerns about securing the OS.

For how long have I used the solution?

I installed Windows 11 a couple of months ago on my laptop.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 11 is a stable solution. Once it starts to get patched, it becomes stable. Most people still prefer Windows 10, but I like the features of Windows 11. The other day, I went to the task manager and read about the solution's efficient mode to limit the resources that that program is using.

A user-friendly solution that has great functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
  • "The solution's price can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I'm using this for my official work and also my personal work.

What is most valuable?

I was using Windows 10 for some time, and it was automatically updated. That was quite nice and made the solution user-friendly. The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality. For example, multiple tabs can be opened at one time.

What needs improvement?

Windows should focus on screen-sharing functions since it is a global issue.

In addition, when the print sharing function is selected and when it updates, it automatically stops the print sharing. There are also some pooling issues and we are unable to connect to shared printers in some locations. 

The solution's price can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 11 since it was launched.

How are customer service and support?

Contacting customer support is a very difficult task. There's no quick tech support there. You need to spend the entire day trying and sometimes they won't even respond. That's the biggest issue that I faced at multiple locations. 

Once I forgot the password to enter into the OS and we tried to reset it. I've been contacting them here and there but I have not received any support from Microsoft. That's a problem that we fixed on our own.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used Windows 10. The solution was upgraded automatically. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. The GUI is very user-friendly. The deployment takes a few minutes.

What about the implementation team?

Windows 11 was implemented by the in-house team.

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

The licensing cost is high.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
