A mature product that is available for free in the market that needs to reduce unnecessary updates
Pros and Cons
  • "The best thing about Windows 10 is that you can run anything on it."
  • "In general, most of the time, the updates in Windows 10 bring problems instead of solving them, making it an area requiring improvements."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 in my workplace as it is our main operating system.

What is most valuable?

I have never considered which features I found most valuable in Windows 10. At my workplace, we use Windows because we have no other choice.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft needs to stop experimenting with different options and settle down, especially when it comes to Windows 10. If something broken in Windows 10 gets fixed in a year or two by Microsoft, then it gets broken again in the next update.

In Windows 10, you can access a particular setting page in two clicks. In Windows 11 eleven, you get to the same setting page you used in Windows 10 after four or five clicks. When Microsoft comes up with Windows 12, it will be six to eight clicks, meaning that with each update, it gets complicated.

In Windows 10, you can access a particular setting page with two clicks. In Windows 11 eleven, you get to the same setting page you used in Windows 10 after four or five clicks. When Microsoft comes up with Windows 12, it will take six to eight clicks.

After Windows 95, Microsoft changed everything drastically. If you were a user of an Apple computer and you also used macOS 10 around 15 years ago, you may have seen how Apple comes up with new versions, but it still looks the same. The person who was using macOS 10 can easily use the latest macOS. If you pick a person who has used Windows 95 and you give him a computer with Windows 11, he will be lost. Windows 10 and Windows 11 are not different from each other, but Microsoft keeps adding differences. If you go back into the past, then you will see that five years ago, there were a lot of differences between Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. In general, most of the time, the updates in Windows 10 bring problems instead of solving them, making it an area requiring improvements.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for seven to eight years.

Offers good support, easy enough to use and from a desktop perspective, Windows 10 is scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day."
  • "Sometimes it can be resource-hungry."

What is our primary use case?

It was the main operating system.

What needs improvement?

At the time, I used Windows 10, and it crashed a lot, but not as much as previous versions of Windows. That's one thing I can remember being a bit of a pain.

Moreover, I would like to see the little things like when you're working with Windows Explorer, you can open multiple tabs. It wasn't available in Windows 10.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since it's been out.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. I had some crashes.

From a desktop perspective, it's scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

It wasn't so much a decision as not having thought about it in advance. It's just when Windows 11 came out; it just felt natural, like progressing to a newer OS.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day.

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

The pricing is about average.

Though easy to use, app installation should be made easier
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
  • "When I try to install and use apps in Windows 10, they don't work properly, making it an area that needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company for work and business purposes.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

When I try to install and use apps in Windows 10, they don't work properly, making it an area that needs improvement.

Just like cell phones, Windows 10 even installs some applications, but the ones that are available in the market are not very good, difficult to use, or do not get installed properly.

I have a complaint about Microsoft, which is mostly about Outlook, and not about Windows 10. I have nothing bad to say about Windows 10.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for four to five years. I am a customer of the product.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool's stability is very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I use the product every day in my company.

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

I used Windows 7 in the past. Compared to Windows 7, I see that Windows 10 has many functionalities that I don't use.

How was the initial setup?

From one to ten, I rate the initial setup phase an eight, where ten means it is an easy process and one means it is difficult.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in three hours.

What about the implementation team?

I deployed the tool in my company.

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

I rate the product's price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is a very expensive tool. I need around 80 USD for Microsoft Office because I already paid for Windows 10. In general, I don't pay anything for the product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I don't plan to switch to Windows 11 from Windows 10.

What other advice do I have?

The capacity of the solution is very good.

I did not face any problems when using Windows 10.

I recommend the product to others.

It is a very good product that is easy to use. I don't like that the solution no longer offers me the chance to choose the desktop option. It's a very nice software to use.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A robust operating system for the client side
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side."
  • "The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 for my private purposes, even after buying Windows 11, because this is the usual path for using the operating system generated on the client side.

What is most valuable?

Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side.

What needs improvement?

The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 from the beginning, of course, when it appeared on the market.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of the latest version of the solution ten out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

What about the implementation team?

Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.

If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.

What other advice do I have?

The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

A highly scalable and user-friendly operating system for workstations in corporate offices
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 is a user-friendly operating system."
  • "The solution should improve the updates because the computers have a boot error whenever they release an upgrade."

What is our primary use case?

We used Windows 10 for workstations on operations or corporate offices.

What is most valuable?

Windows 10 is a user-friendly operating system.

What needs improvement?

The solution should improve the updates because the computers have a boot error whenever they release an upgrade.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We sometimes couldn't operate the system because of the error on updates.

Less than 1,000 users were using the solution in our organization.

What about the implementation team?

The solution's installation and configuration took around one hour. We deploy the solution manually. Since we don't have automatic deployment, we install the operating system one step at a time.

What was our ROI?

Since Windows 10 is the only operating system we use, it is very useful for us in the office to run all applications.

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

We pay a licensing fee for Windows 10, which is too expensive.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
