Windows 10 Reviews

I use Windows 10 in my company as an operating system to install applications, and then we use the applications to do what we need to do. The tool helps our company use browsers to surf the internet. With Windows 10, there are office tools that help users to work.

Windows 10 has already been moved to Windows 11, but of course, they are more or less the same tool. Windows 10 can do something to make the tool available without the need to boot it.

On-premises

Windows 10 is the operating system for our entire organization.

Windows 10 provides integration capabilities and operational efficiency. The user interface, ease of deployment, and pricing are appreciated. It is the most common operating system, and people like it as there are no particular problems or issues.

The areas of firewall, antivirus, and similar features could be improved as they are not very strong.

On-premises

Other

I use the solution in my company for general office usage purposes, including areas like emails, Excel, or PowerPoint.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that since it is the most common platform, many applications are available on it to support our company's needs. The tool is easy to use.

Sometimes, I need to reboot it when it slows down. When a patch is installed, it will have to be rebooted several times. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the tool.

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

I don't think it is a scalable solution.

My company has no plans to increase the number of users.

My company just uses internal IT support, and I don't know whether they use some kind of Microsoft support.

The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward.

The installation usually involves some patch deployment with some kind of tools. Generally, I just use the tool by myself, and I just need a USB to install the solution.

My company has an internal IT team to take care of the tool's deployment and maintenance.

The solution can be deployed in 30 minutes.

I think my company has acquired a license from the OEM. I believe that the product is cheaply priced.

Whether I would recommend the product to others or not depends on their use cases. The security part of the product may be an issue, and it might be quite serious.

Compared to the previous version of the products, the hardware compatibility offered by Windows 10 is okay right now since I haven't faced any application issues lately.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

The solution is the back-end operating system for almost all my activities. I use it to connect with the client network and open the files in the system.

I like the file structure and the ability to search is valuable. 

I like the ability to create documents. The tool is user-friendly. The security is great. The vendor provides patches for the vulnerabilities in the solution. We have had no issues with the security. 

The newer versions are better than the older ones. I haven't personally faced any issues.

The product must provide AI features in future releases.

I have been using the solution for five years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the pricing a seven out of ten. The price could be improved. There are no additional costs associated with the product.

I have also used Windows 8. Windows 10 is more user-friendly, and the response time is higher. Windows 10 has more features. For high-volume operations, organizations prefer Linux.

Windows 10 is a good operating system for technical and IT personnel. It is a stable system. It has security features. It’s good for individual users. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I prefer using Windows 10 on my workstation. The user interface is more user-friendly, making navigating the operating system and applications easier. Since I'm a developer, most of the development tools I use are compatible with Windows 10.

For various productivity tasks, browsing, and working with tools like data warehouses, I find Windows 10 to be a suitable choice. 

We use Windows 10 because it lets us use the latest Windows technology and applications. For example, we work with Power BI, which doesn't work on Linux. It allows us to make the most of all the features in the Microsoft technology environment.

Windows has significantly improved its performance and stability over the past seven or eight years. In the earlier days, issues were more challenging to resolve, but nowadays, most problems are easily fixed.

I'm currently facing an issue on Windows 10 related to pop-up notifications. The problem is identifying which specific application requires attention when the taskbar notifies about an important event. For instance, when working on an application, the taskbar appears with a notification but doesn't indicate which application needs attention. I have to minimize the active application windows to identify it, which can be inconvenient.

The product is stable as long as you use the compatible hardware. 

The solution is scalable. It allows us to use Linux and Docker for Windows. Previously, to use a Linux platform on Windows, we relied on VMware or Oracle virtual machines. Now, with the stable Windows Subsystem for Linux, there's no need for virtual machines.

Previously, we used Linux in its various GUI and desktop versions alongside Windows. However, we primarily use Windows due to limitations in functionality, especially with applications like Microsoft Office. Some colleagues use Mac OS, but I prefer using Windows.

Installing Windows 10, including all the updates, takes around four to six hours. It is an easy process. We first need a bootable USB drive containing the Windows ISO license to install the product. After booting from the USB drive, the installation process begins, prompting us to choose new installation, license activation, and user account setup options. The installer guides us through configuring settings like time zone, date, language, and creating a new user account with a password. Once the base software is installed, the system reboots, and users can activate the license or register within a specified time frame.

The tool's deployment was done in-house. 

We need to pay for the licensing through Microsoft partner. We benefit from an education license in the Philippines, which provides us with a better deal compared to Windows licenses for retail stores.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

On-premises

I deployed the solution for some of the end users. I also use it for communication purposes and run different pieces of software on it.

With Windows 10, unlike the earlier versions, you have Defender, which is an added advantage. You don't have to go for an antivirus solution separately since it is inbuilt and works. Also, since one can manage networks or domains, it's easier to manage clients.

The solution's updates are an area where the solution needs to improve. The updates are a painful thing at times because they are done without testing before the releases. I have to block the updates and Windows patches. 

Speaking about the features I want to see in the future, right now, the updates which are on Windows are not deleted. It occupies a huge space in terms of GB unless manually removed from the system. They used to remove the older versions, which were not applicable, but now this is not happening. It just occupies space in the system.

I have been using the solution since its launch.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten since sometimes it causes some trouble.

It's quite okay with upgrades, but otherwise, it automatically slows down the machine. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. We use Windows 10 on a daily basis in our organization.

Some of the logs we sent were accepted, while others do not identify the actual issue or agree with the issue. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

I previously used some other solutions, and I switched to Windows 10 because of the Microsoft's input.

The initial setup was okay. The deployment is fine. As long as you have an image, it can be done at a fast pace. The deployment can be done in thirty minutes to an hour.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price possible and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing five since it's quite overpriced.

I would urge others planning to use the solution to watch out for problems. With every update, there's something that is coming into its bundle, and as you analyze, it becomes difficult to run a larger number of operations.

The updates are not user-friendly because they do not show that they will not be removed from the system automatically like the previous versions of Windows. It has to be done manually. The space it occupies is too much, especially in terms of GB.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.
