Long-term analytics have improved tracking of digital task performance and user adoption
Strategy and development strategy are heavily focused on AI, and I think that for medium and small organizations which don't have a very vast IT stack, this might be the right approach. However, for big enterprises, WalkMe should focus more on developing their existing features and capabilities with the main focus on data and analytics, which feels like it has been stalled for quite some time. Over the past two years, there has not really been any groundbreaking development in that area. I think that the limited integration capability of WalkMe with the back end of the underlying applications is a limitation. On the other hand, the easy configuration and lack of the need for backend or more thorough technical integration is a huge positive aspect of WalkMe, but it is also its biggest weakness because the ability to pull in additional data from other systems is limited. Because it is not a perfect product, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to the development of new features and the further development of the key capabilities. It is by far the leading digital adoption platform in the market, setting the example and leading the entire industry. I think that it does not deserve a rating of 10 because I was able to identify the room for improvement, but I would also like to recognize their position in the market.

Collaborative development has become more secure and efficient for our team
We have faced some issues with Windows OneDrive because if one developer has a folder in a common OneDrive folder, it took some time to show it to others. It becomes somewhat difficult to work, as there is latency on that, so if you update that, it will be more efficient and useful for the developers. My main focus on Windows 10 is the giving of regular updates, so it might take some time to update Windows, which is also mandatory. As a developer, when we are working with Windows 10, if it takes more time to update and restart the PC, it affects our efficiency at work. If we could stop the updates on a regular basis or if they were delivered faster, it would be easier. As a developer, the frequent updates are too annoying for working on it, so it would be better if we stop the frequent updates and only provide the most important ones. Performance issues over time due to background apps and programs piling up and using an SSD instead of a hard disk are also concerns.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"WalkMe has been implemented as part of the key digital transformations related to the core technology of our organization, such as SAP, bringing visibility to our IT organization around the usage of applications and helping us ensure that the ROI of the applications is being maximized so users get the technology they need and know how to use it in a way that ensures company success."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my organization by making employees more efficient."
"If you have a lot of steps to on-board your users and have a web product that is fairly complex to grasp, I highly recommend WalkMe."
"Onboarding alone has saved our Implementation and Subject Matter Expert teams countless hours of work in demos and training calls."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my organization with better change management, quicker onboarding, and fewer support tickets sent through from users using the product."
"In my opinion, the best features WalkMe offers are mainly the faster route of onboarding users, since the use of WalkMe reduces support tickets, it gives us user context and we get natively integrated with the software we are using and all the platforms we have."
"My company believes that WalkMe provides better guidance with Walk-throughs, Shoutouts, and videos than the in-app help that is offered by default at my company."
"Overall, WalkMe exceeded our expectations."
"The UI is very familiar, which makes it very user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"It's easy to use."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day."
"The solution is scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out, they shouldn't run into issues doing so."
"It works, it is stable, unlike other versions of Windows, and it is easy to use and intuitive for the most part."
"The Microsoft ecosystem works really well when I have an active directory and am using Microsoft Outlook, Exchange, etc., and they interact really well together."
"Windows 10 is a stable solution."
"I would recommend Windows 10 to new users."
 

Cons

"Occasionally the system runs a little slowly, which can be frustrating to some of our fast paced end users, but that is more due to the robust number of Walk Thrus our team has created."
"WalkMe is complex to implement, and that would probably be the only area that could be improved, making the implementation and enablement a little easier."
"The app is sometimes sluggish and has a steep learning curve for users who are trying to build WalkMes and are not tech savvy."
"WalkMe does have room for improvement."
"I do see that some people sometimes find the price of the license hard to digest, which is an issue in some cases."
"The platform is quite complex for a non-technical person, so it takes a while to fly on the platform on your own without constantly bothering CSMs."
"Because it is not a perfect product, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to the development of new features and the further development of the key capabilities."
"There is always scope to improve WalkMe. The interactions and the UI interaction could improve somewhat."
"Although the solution has been pretty nice to use, I have encountered certain bugs in the updates."
"The apps view that I get on my screen is not much useful for me. If I have to search for anything, I go to the Search bar and type there. They can maybe include integration with some third-party products."
"PowerShell could be improved."
"The security should be better on the solution."
"The pricing could be better. It's a bit expensive."
"They should change their policy to include some basic support for more than just updates."
"So it would be nice to have the option to switch between this design and the previous one. Working with Windows 7, I preferred to use commands or applications like in the old version."
"It would be better if there were more integration with Linux and Azure."

Hi thereThanks for the question. WalkMe is best for staff-facing applications that are constantly updating and are complex and or require interaction with multiple systems. Helping staff to complete end-to-end workflows to complete their tasks- Not so this applies to W10

We use a tool called HP SA. It requires an agent installed on the client side. HP SA can be setup to download all MS patches ever week when they are released by MS. Then via patching policy you can build and rollout out your own custom patch policy to each of your clients or groups of your clients. Windows 2012, windows 10, Rhel, CentOS, ESXi etc. I do agree change tools are important I would just base the need on the amount of money I need to speed to automate this process to an extent. Have you tired a WSUS server for some Microsoft patch remediation of Microsoft OS's. It's mostly for server but I do believe MS has docs out there to setup for desktops as well.

I don’t have idea for this tools, in our company we use WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) and SCCM to push updates into desktops. Best Regards Abderrahmane BRIEDJ
