ROI

Adopting Google Chrome Enterprise cuts costs by converting existing devices to Chromebooks, saving on infrastructure and IT support.
Sentiment score
3.6
Windows 10 offers improved efficiency, security, and performance over Windows 7, making it a valuable and worthwhile investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.3
Google Chrome Enterprise offers extensive documentation and prompt support but struggles with delays and direct contact challenges.
Sentiment score
5.2
Many Windows 10 users prefer online forums for support, finding Microsoft helpful, but often solve issues independently.
The online support often redirects us to FAQs instead of connecting to a real person.
There could be more detailed guidance on new installations like Google Authenticator, as the process is often vague and lacks fine-tuned information.
We have informed Microsoft, but the issue is still there, and it has been more than three to four months.
The customer service and support from Microsoft are quite responsive and generally good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Google Chrome Enterprise efficiently scales with user growth, supporting diverse needs and excelling in remote management and cloud environments.
Sentiment score
7.7
Windows 10 is scalable and flexible, easily accommodating increased usage and integrating well with other Microsoft products like Azure.
Firefox is slightly more efficient as it uses less memory.
For scalability, I would rate it a nine or ten because performance-wise, Windows 10 has never given me those issues.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Google Chrome Enterprise is praised for its stability and reliability, receiving high ratings despite being resource-intensive on lower-end processors.
Sentiment score
6.7
Windows 10 offers stability and reliability, though updates can be disruptive, with mixed reviews on performance and adaptability.
Google Chrome Enterprise is stable, and I haven't faced any stability problems.
The challenges were related to third-party agents and their supportability.
I would rate the stability of the product an eight.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Chrome Enterprise needs better performance, enhanced features, improved user experience, and AI integration to satisfy user demands.
Windows 10 requires better stability and performance, with improvements in updates, interface, security, resource usage, and app compatibility.
If we have a laptop with basic configuration, it eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the system.
This causes hesitation in installing them due to concerns about hidden costs and inadequate information.
Microsoft can improve their Teams product because everybody uses Teams, and it's very clunky and unfriendly in terms of scrolling back, downloading files, and moving back and forth within the different teams.
The transitions within Teams are not smooth, and call quality in meetings is not great.
The system frequently attempts to update Windows 10 software, which significantly slows down my laptop computer.
 

Setup Cost

Google Chrome Enterprise provides cost-effective, flexible pricing with discounts in educational sectors and valued security features.
Enterprise users find Windows 10 licensing complex yet necessary, favoring bundled solutions for cost-effectiveness and appreciating its functionality.
It's a bit on the higher side, but we prefer to stick with it because of the security, ease of maintenance, and the company's reputation.
Windows 10 is cost-effective when compared to other competitors available such as Mac and Linux.
For those buying a Windows license, it might be better to buy a Windows 11 license.
Windows is considered overpriced, especially given the normal software functionalities.
 

Valuable Features

Google Chrome Enterprise offers user-friendly security, extensive extensions, and cloud integration, making it ideal for organizational use.
Windows 10 offers user-friendly features, security, seamless Office integration, and compatibility, enhancing productivity and overall user experience.
Google Chrome Enterprise is my preferred browser over Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
The security it offers is an advantage, which is crucial for us due to HIPAA compliance concerns.
When using mapping software such as QGIS or ArcGIS, the system remains stable, especially when handling heavy files.
The community is larger than that of Linux, which makes finding help easier.
I use Copilot to capture meeting notes and get summaries and bullet points, and it is a wonderful tool.

A stable solution with good performance that can be used to access the internet
Google Chrome Enterprise gets automatically updated if you have an internet connection and the solution's license version. Google Chrome Enterprise is deployed on the cloud. I can deploy the solution myself. The solution’s support is provided by Google directly. I would recommend Google Chrome Enterprise to other users. Overall, I rate Google Chrome Enterprise ten out of ten.
Akos Szirmai - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy installation and the initial setup time is reasonable
Stability can be an issue. I have to restart it every two days. And the boot time is quite long. My laptop's old, has no SSD, and is just a traditional Winchester. Had desktops with Windows 11 and SSDs, much better performance. But hardware limitations on my current laptop lead to stability and response issues. It's more like the whole reinstall every two years thing. It makes cleaning a pain. Performance improves significantly after a fresh install, then slowly deteriorates as I add more programs. But my biggest concern with Windows 10 is actually bigger than my situation. I'm replacing my laptop anyway, but I read that Windows 10 support ends in a year or so. And with hardware limitations, many other computers won't run Windows 11. So it's not just me. A lot of people with decent, still-working Windows 10 machines will lose support and be unable to switch to 11. This will be a significant problem for individuals and institutions. Large companies with thousands of computers don't replace them every three years, and they might face issues with many computers unable to run Windows 11 and lacking support for 10.
