User-friendly, easy to setup and manage domain
Pros and Cons
  • "It's user-friendly, and you can toggle between all your UI and features, which is good."
  • "I would just recommend that they focus more on security."

What is our primary use case?

My use case is related to the corporate office. 

What is most valuable?

It is user-friendly, and its features are good. It's user-friendly, and you can toggle between all your UI and features, which is good.

What needs improvement?

There is a little bit room for improvement in UI. I would just recommend that Windows 10 focus more on security. Windows 10 should update patches promptly as they become available for normal security purposes to prevent hacking and other issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for more than ten years. I am a Microsoft lover. I've been using it since Windows XP, so it's been quite a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?


What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability depends on the customer's requirements, like storage needs. It's flexible. 

If it's a virtual machine (VM), scalability is good. But for physical devices, it depends on the specific setup.

All of our employees, over 5,000, are using Windows products. The number has been increasing over the past 20 years. All of our users are on Windows systems.

Mostly engineers use Windows. Some use Linux, depending on client requirements. But Windows is used extensively.

How are customer service and support?

 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. It took less than half an hour. 

What about the implementation team?

We didn't take anyone's help. I did it myself. I deployed it myself. 

The process is quite simple. Since CDs and all the necessary materials are available, you just follow the on-screen instructions. It's not complicated at all.

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

Windows 10 has a good subscription. But, Microsoft should work on making the OS more affordable to compete with other operating systems like Linux, which is known for its security and is used on many servers. They could also add new features and support more applications.

The licensing is yearly. I think the license is only available on a yearly basis. It would be nice if they offered some one-time license options where you could procure it for a lifetime.

It's not expensive or cheap, but it's in a mediocre range. They could make it a little bit cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The benefits are more related to software users or people who use Windows in organizations. It's easy to manage domains and configure it. That's a major benefit. 

Even if the OS gets corrupted or compromised, users can easily format the system and start over. That can be done very easily.

Has good integration features and a fantastic UI
Pros and Cons
  • "When it comes to the integration features, Windows 10 and Windows 11 are the same."
  • "Sometimes, I receive a blue screen when I open the product, so it is an area that can be improved in the tool."

What needs improvement?

Sometimes, I receive a blue screen when I open the product, so it is an area that can be improved in the tool.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with Windows 10.

How are customer service and support?

I never contacted the solution's technical support, and instead, I use ChatGPT. I can find solutions to my issues with ChatGPT.

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

I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have to face my customers, who normally prefer Windows 11 now, so I upgraded my PC. Windows 11 is more stable overall than Windows 10, and its UI is fantastic.

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

Microsoft supports free upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

What other advice do I have?

At some point in time, Windows 10 will reach the end of service, and then it can not be supported by Microsoft. I think everybody has to upgrade the OS to Windows 11 from Windows 10.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 look quite similar. It is quite easy to use the very good secured features in Windows 11. When I used to use Windows 10, it was quite difficult to find the features that I wanted. When it comes to protection, Windows 11 gives many functions or default options, but Windows 10 does not.

When it comes to the integration features, Windows 10 and Windows 11 are the same. Nowadays, many product companies support Windows 11, and then they start to support Windows 10.

Many people, like me, normally use ChatGPT. ChatGPT has two versions, one is for free and the other is a commercial version. The commercial version is excellent, and I am satisfied with it.

If I need some features or functions in Windows 10 or Windows 11, I check with my IT team.

Over Windows 10, I would recommend Windows 11 to others.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

When I try to install and use apps in Windows 10, they don't work properly, making it an area that needs improvement.

Just like cell phones, Windows 10 even installs some applications, but the ones that are available in the market are not very good, difficult to use, or do not get installed properly.

I have a complaint about Microsoft, which is mostly about Outlook, and not about Windows 10. I have nothing bad to say about Windows 10.

I deployed the tool in my company.

The capacity of the solution is very good.

The tool's price used to be good earlier, but now it has become expensive. The tool is worth the money, especially since Windows 10 users got auto-upgraded to Windows 11.

What other advice do I have?

After the tool's implementation, I can say that I see that its performance is better since the system does not hang anymore. The UI is also good. Overall, the experience is even better with Windows 11.

Windows 10 was definitely better than Windows 7. Windows 11 is better than Windows 10.

I like the fact that Windows 10 introduced Windows Defender, so I don't have to install antivirus separately. Windows Defender works well.

I have not integrated the tool with other teams.

I recommend Windows 11 over Windows 10.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
