We performed a comparison between Google Chrome Enterprise and Windows Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"We use the product to run applications and devices."
"Google Sheets and Google Docs are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic."
"It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable."
"The solution has been stable."
"Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a stable solution with good performance."
"This is a stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future."
"A valuable feature of Windows Server has been the performance. We have done all the redundancy and fault tolerance things to protect our servers and, so far, so good."
"Windows server is easy to use."
"I like the views in the user interface."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Windows Server is user-friendly and it is simply to support."
"We chose Windows Server because it is easy to use, and easy to maintain."
"It's very easy and user-friendly compared to any other operating system."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They need to deal with their memory management."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"The tool is not very user-friendly."
"I would like to see easier implementation and better customer service in the future."
"The solution's licensing price is on the expensive side."
"The security could be improved."
"The solution could offer higher availability."
"The product has certain shortcomings related to security capability in the area of incident response, making it the tool's component where improvements are required."
"It would be better if they improved the user interface."
"The security suffers the same issues as our Windows 10 for endpoint deployments. It could be more secure."
"The user interface could be simplified."
