What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and we have found the performance to be very good overall. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have close to 200 people using the solution at this time. 

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

For the last few years, we haven't used anything but Windows. We upgraded from Windows 7, which is what we used previously.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex. A user shouldn't struggle to set it up.

In terms of deployment, you do need more people and more time if you have to do it in multiple geographical locations. In our case, we use around 10, and they cover our locations very well.

In terms of maintenance, just to look after the OS and all those things, we have a team of five.

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

While we would always prefer a lower cost for licensing the product, for the kind of quality the software system is providing, I cannot complain. You get pretty good value.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities.

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

  • "I've been very satisfied with this operating system."
  • "I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10."
  • "I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used for running persona applications on my laptop. We run several types of applications on it. 

What is most valuable?

I've been very satisfied with this operating system.

It's totally stable and secure.

What needs improvement?

There are always some small things here and there that could be better, however, for the most part, I have been happy with its capabilities and cannot recall coming across missing features. 

I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10. Sometimes the connections are broken or it doesn't work after a while. When that happens, I have to restart my laptop and so on. It would be ideal if it was simply more stable so that these issues didn't occur.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been a decade at this point. I've used it for a while. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 5,000 people who are using the product within my organization. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never been in touch with technical support and cannot speak to how helpful or responsive the support team from Microsoft is. 

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

We likely previously used Windows 7. That was a really long time ago. I've worked with Windows 7 and I also have experience with the Linux version.

How was the initial setup?

I cannot speak to the initial implementation process or how easy or difficult it is to execute. I was not involved in the setup in any way.

What other advice do I have?

The solution is deployed on the laptop itself and it's not running in the cloud.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its overall capabilities. 

I would recommend the product to other users and organizations.
