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

"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."
"WalkMe has positively impacted organizations, as from an enterprise level, it deals with software that employees use daily, particularly in a financial setting where a lot of client and data management happens."
"WalkMe drastically reduced manual errors, which impacted not only the good performance of the employee so they could do their tasks, but also employee satisfaction, since they did not need to perform multiple steps and would immediately know if there was any block rather than finding out in the future."
"Overall, WalkMe has helped support our customers and get them doing the things they should be doing in our app."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my customers or their organizations because they save significantly more time, and because employees can find information exactly where they need it, they can devote themselves to other tasks thanks to this time savings."
"We recently worked with a banking client where we were able to reduce the amount of time a new home loan takes from 20 minutes to 4 minutes."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my organization by making employees more efficient."
"I have already obtained return on investment, with productivity increased by 60%, a time and training cost savings of almost 80%."
"My overall rating for Windows 10 is 9 out of 10."
"For the most part, Windows 10 is the same as earlier versions of the operating system, but there are more ways to find files and programs. It's user-friendly."
"The solution is modern and updated often."
"The product is powerful and fast."
"Windows 10 provides good functionality and is easy to use."
"It has improved the way our organization functions."
"The compatibility of applications factor is the main reason to choose the Microsoft operating system."
"The stability has been good."
 

Cons

"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."
"I have not seen a return on investment, as some competitors are significantly cheaper."
"The biggest area for improvement is the onboarding and training."
"While I am working with WalkMe, sometimes the application is crashing and it is not stable."
"I do not have data regarding return on investment; as I mentioned, we are in a beta phase, so there is not a return on investment yet."
"WalkMe can be improved with more AI tools."
"The admin tools can be a little confusing, so I understand registering for the training."
"There is always scope to improve WalkMe. The interactions and the UI interaction could improve somewhat."
"Windows 10 is quite expensive, they could reduce the cost."
"The interface could be more friendly."
"It would be helpful if Windows had its own antivirus to protect the OS. They should provide an antivirus with it."
"I am not always happy with the response that I get from technical support. Technical support needs improvement."
"The stability could improve and it could be more secure."
"I would like to have more security."
"The support from Microsoft is lukewarm."
"The installation consumes a lot of space and the response time is not as fast as it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I don't have a license"
"My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it."
"We are classified as an enterprise and have an enterprise license."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Windows 10 is cheap."
"Microsoft charges a lot for every license, but they don't provide by default support with it."

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
