Windows 10 Reviews

We like that the patches are automatic. It takes away a lot of the administrative burden, from a security point of view, on the environment. You do not really need to worry about patch management on a Windows 10 machine, as it automatically does it. Those are the benefits that we see from a management point of view.

For personal or professional setups, the solution works well.

The solution is stable.

We find the solution to be quite scalable. 

It does what it's meant to do. You don't want the platform to do anything more than what it's doing at the moment. It gives you the analytics. It gives you the right security posture. You can draw on it. It can integrate with other solutions. 

What we like about the stack of products is if you manage it on a management console, it cuts across the enterprise. That's a benefit in terms of your rollout strategy. It's quicker to deploy, easier to deploy, and it definitely affects the user to a large degree. It doesn't consume too many resources on your endpoint.

Technical support is great in South Africa.

The whole point of Microsoft is it's a phenomenal stack of products. However, Microsoft must realize that it's operating in Africa. We cannot pay US dollars. For the cost of Microsoft Windows 10, it's just not affordable for the majority of the population in South Africa. Who's going to spend that amount of money when people are barely affording to live? It's costly.

I've been using the solution for the last 18 months. It's been over a year so far. 

The stability of the solution is very good. there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is good. If a company needs to expand the product, it can do so.

W have 50 users on Microsoft right now. 

In South Africa, we have great technical support from Microsoft. It comes down to the training and the availability of resources and that is great.

We did not previously use a different solution. We've always used Microsoft.

The deployment is very easy. The initial setup is simple. There are zero hassles. 

I didn't do the installation personally, however, I know we just did a deployment for about 50 users, and it took us about a day to deploy it.

You can do it just by yourself. The guidelines and the training and so forth that Microsoft provides for users are great. If you follow that, it's great. From a Microsoft point of view, if you follow the step-by-step guide, it's easy to deploy. You don't need an integrator or consultant. 

The solution is overpriced for the region.

We pay a licensing fee on a monthly basis. 

I'm just a customer or an end-user.

As a cloud-based solution, we're using the latest version of the product.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been happy with its capabilities in general. 

We would recommend the solution to other users. 

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for any type of office work - emails, remote connectivity, document management, storage and the like. I'm an associate partner. 

From a user standpoint, the GUI has been enhanced as well as some add-ons with respect to news, forecasts, GPS. I think overall there are some good features and it has the single click advantage. Also, the entire integration supports the 365 Suite.

I'd like to see some sort of technical notification service reminder regarding hardware health. It's a feature that could help because I get quite a lot of Microsoft Office crashes. It asks whether you want to report them and then the notification disappears into thin air. I also think that task manager needs to be a little more graphical in nature, with more user analytics and I'd also like to know usages so I can run an operating system sometimes, multitasking, things like that. There are sometimes connectivity issues when there is any sort of power fluctuation with the adapter or from the main, and I think that area needs improvement. If there are power surges, or the adapter is not able to send the required power to the BIOS, there should be alerts. The other big one for me is integration with the hardware so that, for example, a user can know if there's a problem of dead pixels on the screen, some sort of predictive analytics on that front would be helpful. 

I've been using this solution for about three years. 

The solution is stable despite some crashes that I've experienced. On the whole it's performance has improved and optimization-wise, the issues are not generally visible to the end user. 

They've done a good job from a scalability perspective because if you look at the different systems that are enabled, the operating system does a good job.

I recommend this solution, it's been tried and tested over years and I am very comfortable with it. At the end of the day, it's about affordability, and Microsoft OS stands out from that perspective.

I rate the solution eight out of 10. 

We primarily use Windows 10 for all of our technical work. 

The product has been very easy to use and is quite user-friendly.

We have found the solution to be very stable.

The level of scalability is quite good. 

The installation process is easy.

The solution is expensive. They should lower the price point. 

I've been using this particular solution for three or four years at this point. It's been a while now. 

The solution is quite stable and very reliable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't seem to crash or freeze. We find the performance to be good. 

The product has been very scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have about 2,000 workers on the solution currently.

We did not use a different solution before adopting Windows 10.

The installation is not overly complex or difficult. It's quite straightforward and very easy to deploy.

A company should not have any issues implementing the solution. 

Everything is handled by a central team in our organization.

The solution is a bit costly. We would prefer it if the price wasn't so high.

I use it myself, personally. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

Overall, we've been happy with this product.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I would happily recommend the product to other companies or users as I've had a good experience overall. 

We primarily use the solution for Windows processes. We only work on Windows. 

The solution is stable. 

We are able to integrate what we need to.

The product works very well.

We found the initial setup to be quite straightforward. The deployment is fast as well. 

The security has gotten much better over the years. Several years ago, it was not as good as it is now. 

There are fewer updates and it's a very efficient product.

Everyone uses Windows 10 and they are very familiar with how to operate it. You don't need to do intensive training. 

So far, the solution offers everything we need and we are happy with its capabilities. There are no missing features.

We've likely been using the solution for more than ten years at this point. It's been over a decade and we've used it for quite a long time. We started using it around the time it was launched. 

The solution has been stable over the years. It doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. The performance is pretty good. 

While I cannot speak to how scalable the solution is, I would say that it is scalable enough for our purposes. 

We have about 1,000 people using the solution currently.

We've never had any issues with technical support. They have always been knowledgeable and ready to assist. It's very easy to browse forums and find answers to your questions. We're quite satisfied with the availability of assistance. 

Previous to this solution, we used Windows 7. We simply moved to Windows 10 in order to upgrade our Windows. 

The solution is very straightforward and simple in terms of having to do an initial setup. It's not too difficult. 

It only takes about an hour to deploy the solution. It's fast and easy.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It works very well for our organization. 

I would recommend the product to other users and organizations. 

We are using this operating system for all of the functionality on offer. We have different machines on which we are using Eggplant to perform the functional testing. All those machines are currently on Windows 10 only since users have been using Windows 10 already, and it's quite user-friendly. 

In all the cases where machines are present, we are performing the test over Windows 10 and using this Eggplant with all the different types of applications for the functionality users. Based on those tests, we are capturing data.

In the previous versions, you could get a copy of data or pirated data also, however, with Windows 10, as it is genuine software, it helped us a lot in avoiding this. It also has added security features and auto-updates. The upgrading of the software is very easy now.

The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The GUI is quite impressive. We don't need to go into any command-line interface. Most of the things you can use with the click of a mouse. 

The initial setup is very easy.

Sometimes we getting slowness issues while performing some heavy operations. We aren't multitasking or anything, however, some heavy load is there. In those times, Windows 10 is not responding as we would like it to. They need to improve this.

As of now, I haven't seen many ain points per see. However, whether we're upgrading the software or clearing the cache, it would help us if the solution was more responsive.

The security could be improved. I have had colleagues who have gotten their files corrupted somehow.

I've been using the solution for maybe three or four years.

It's quite stable and is easy to work with as you don't need very special skills. 

As of now, I haven't had any downtime or any blockage due to the software or OS. Of course, the slowness issue sometimes stops us a lot. The upgrades can be frustrating as they sometimes start an update when we are working. If it's between the working times, it's not a problem.

It is quite easy to integrate add-on solutions and we've found that the scalability is fine in Windows 10. You don't have to do anything extra in that we can install easily, and we can use the software easily wherever it's required.

Within my team, my project, all of us are using Windows 10 since the project itself is dependent on Windows 10. We have around 10 people on our project. We are senior consultants, test engineers, test analysts, project managers, and test analysts.

We haven't reached out to technical support. Right now, things are running smoothly and therefore there's no reason to be in touch. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

Previously, we may have been using Windows 7. We haven't used a different operating system. It's always been Microsoft.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not a complex process at all.

We have an in-built, permanent license. I can't speak to how much it costs our company.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

I would recommend this solution. It's not ideal for very heavy projects, however, for moderate or medium-type of projects that do not have a very heavy load or too much multitasking, Windows 10 is excellent.

Windows 10 makes for pretty comfortable working. It doesn't need users to be experienced in anything. If you want to start a new thing with Windows 10 OS, you don't need to worry about that. You can get into it easily. You don't need to have knowledge of any specific things so that you can catch up with the solution and how to use it easily.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We use Windows 10 for our personal operating system on all of our desktops, laptops, and our tablets.

The main issue is related to the patch security management that is released. The updates take a lot of time to complete, and they could be faster.

We have been using Windows 10 for the last three to four years.

Windows 10 is stable.

We have approximately 150 users in our organization.

The technical support is fine. They have the help support and you can Google it to get your support.

We have only used Windows. All versions of Windows have been used such as Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7.

The installation is straightforward. It's a guided installation that anyone can do.

We need a team of two or three people to maintain this solution.

We were able to complete the installation ourselves.

The pricing is expensive. When compared with other Operating Systems, such as Linux-based solutions, it's expensive.

When we purchase any computer, we purchase the software, the operating system, and the hardware. 

It is bundled, but if you purchase it individually it's expensive.

The price could be improved.

I would recommend this solution to others.

From an operating system perspective, I would rate Windows 10 a seven out of 10.

We are using Windows 10 for internet security, emails accounts, and internet browsing.

The solution could improve by being more secure and having a better user interface.

I have used this solution for approximately three years.

Windows 10 is stable. However, it could be improved.

We have 100 users using this solution in my organization.

We do not normally require any technical support, but when we did, we searched material available on the website which was helpful.

I was previously using Mac OS. In servers, I was using CentOS, Windows Server, and SUSE Linux.

The installation is very easy and takes approximately 30 minutes.

We do the implementation of this solution. We have done a lot of on-premises installation and have a team of 15 technicians.

There is a one-time purchase license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

The solution is mainly used for development. Mainly, it's easy for developers to learn, and allows for adaptability of the Windows platforms to make it easy for developers to develop any application. Its development environments might not be available on Linux or other platforms such as Ubuntu.

It's easy to use.

We have found the solution to be stable. 

The scalability is great.

The price could be cheaper. If they want to compete with Linux, they need to actually come out at a lesser cost.

I've used the solution for a couple of years at this point. 

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem.

It's pretty much used by everybody in the company. That's likely 1000 or more users. 

It's my understanding that we don't really need technical support. Everything seems to be working. Microsoft, quality wise, if you take a look at it, has less of a likelihood of facing any quality slippage that would affect the whole operating system. It's very reliable. 

I have always used Windows. I did not use any other solution.

The installation was handled by our IT team. I was not a part of that process. Therefore, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was. However, my understanding is that it went pretty well. 

We have a centralized team of five to ten people that handle deployment and maintenance on this and many other solutions within the company.

The solution is pricey. If cost is a problem, users should look at Linux.

We paid for the solution one time and don't have any recurring fees. 

I'm just an end-user and a customer.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with the product.

I would recommend the solution, however, I don't really need to. People prefer Microsoft. It's not me recommending the solution that will make people buy it. It is already a market leader and it doesn't require any help remaining so.

Windows 10 is useful for running personal applications.

Windows 10 provides good functionality and is easy to use.

The solution could improve by providing web applications and have Windows 10 on Azure as a virtual machine.

I have used Windows 10 for approximately three months.

The solution is stable.

Windows 10 is scalable.

We use Ubuntu, Red Hat, Windows Server, and Citrix OS.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend it to others.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

I don't know which version we are using. 

We don't use the solution for anything specific. 

I cannot think of any specific features which stand out to me. 

Setup and use between multiple monitors should be easier. 

I don't know exactly how long I have been using Windows 10, likely a couple of years. 

I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution.

While I cannot say for sure, it seems that the scalability has been okay thus far. 

I am not aware of any use having been made of technical support. 

I was not involved in the setup. This was already handled by my IT department

I don't know how much we paid for the solution. 

I have no idea how many are using the solution in our organization, although I assume this would include everybody, meaning 1,200 or 1,500 people. 

I have no specific advice to offer. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten.
