Is used by most and is easy to install
Pros and Cons
  • "The best thing is that all are using it and that there are some applications like Power BI that are only in Windows and not in any other environment."
  • "We have a lot of different hardware that has to communicate, and sometimes, the Windows drivers get overloaded."

What is our primary use case?

I use it mainly for development and also for teaching and training.

What is most valuable?

The best thing is that all are using it and that there are some applications like Power BI that are only in Windows and not in any other environment.

It is easy to install and is stable as well.

What needs improvement?

We have a lot of different hardware that has to communicate, and sometimes, the Windows drivers get overloaded.

So, the performance could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using it for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

During these past two years, Windows has crashed only once on my computer.

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

I use Ubuntu Linux on my own computer.

How was the initial setup?

It was easy to install Windows 10. It did take quite long, about five hours, because a lot of data had to be downloaded, and several reboots were needed.

What about the implementation team?

I installed it myself.

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

I have a corporate license.

What other advice do I have?

Because it's very good, I would rate Windows 10 at nine on a scale from one to ten.

I'm using the oldest development environment for business informatics. So, for those not interested in gaming or in graphic design, especially for all business users, I strongly recommend Windows 10.

A stable solution which is easy to install, but could have better security and be more user friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "I would say that the solution is stable."
  • "The solution could be more secure and user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

The solution has many uses. One can use it to run personal and business applications.

What needs improvement?

Although security was improved greatly from Windows 7, there are still many artifacts remaining from it and from Windows XP. There is still the control panel. Also, migration wasn't done to the new interface.

As such, the solution could be more secure and user-friendly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would say that the solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is not scalable on its own, although it is if one puts it in a company. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not had experience with technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is easy to install and approximates CAVE. 

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

There are no surcharges beyond the licensing cost. 

The price is fine. 

What other advice do I have?

There are thousands using the solution in my organization.

I would definitely recommend the solution to others

I rate Windows 10 as a six or seven out of ten.

Easy to set up, easy to use, and very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother."
  • "The pricing could be more competitive compared to other products of the same nature."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for anything from work to play, however, I mostly use it for work.

What is most valuable?

The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother.

The initial setup is very easy.

The stability is very good.

The scalability is good.

It's easy to find answers to any questions by researching online. 

What needs improvement?

I've heard that they have plans to take away the control panel, which may be a mistake unless they can improve the level of settings.

The pricing could be more competitive compared to other products of the same nature.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for about three years at this point. It's been a while. I've had some time with it. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. I recently had a problem with the computer in terms of the computer hanging a lot and probably hanging five times a day and even through that, it up fairly well. It's really stable compared to previous versions.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

With all the other Microsoft products you now have with Azure and what I'm currently looking at on Microsoft in June, scaling it company-wide and enterprise-wide would be very, very easy. With Microsoft, that scalability wouldn't be as much as the issue, even if you're not on site.

How are customer service and technical support?

I am in computer support and therefore I have figured it out or used manuals online or Google searches or so forth. Although I've got access to vendors and distributors and Microsoft themselves, it's usually easier just to figure it out quicker than trying to find somebody in support. Therefore, I don't tend to deal directly with technical support.

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

I also work with Linux, which is less expensive. However, everyone is used to Microsoft products, and that's usually the easier route. 

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup to be very simple and straightforward. It's not complex or difficult.

The deployment is very fast. It might have taken 30 minutes or so to get everything up and running. 

What about the implementation team?

I can handle the solution myself. I've done it a million times. It's quite easy. Therefore, I don't need the help of any integrators or consultants. 

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

The solution is expensive, compared to Linux. It's kind of overpriced. 

It's just very expensive and the people resort to other means trying to get it which makes the problem worse.

What other advice do I have?

I do resell Microsoft products to the distributor, however, not directly from Microsoft.

I've got it on all my devices now. I don't have any older Windows now.

I'd recommend the solution to others. Windows 10 would probably be your safe go-to if you're looking for Microsoft. If you're looking for something else and can't afford the cost, then I would say Linux options may be ideal.

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