Windows 10 Reviews

I have used Windows 10 in my multiple roles. I used to manage the operating system from an operational point of view. Later, I used to prepare a design document for the security configuration.

Windows 10 is a user-friendly solution that has good stability and performance.

Windows 10 should provide more frequent updates.

I have been using Windows 10 for many years.

I rate Windows 10 a nine or ten out of ten for stability.

More than 2,00,000 users use the solution extensively in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is very straightforward.

The solution was implemented through an in-house team. Normally, we have a golden image used across the organization and then implement that.

I would recommend Windows 10 to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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.

I have been using Windows for many years.

No major problems; right now, deployment is pretty good.

I haven't faced any major downtime issues.

Our organization is quite satisfied with Microsoft's support.

Positive

Windows is considered overpriced, especially given the normal software functionalities.

Apple products are much better, but they are more expensive.

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.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I don't think it is a scalable solution.

My company has over 1,000 product users.

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.

The tool is highly scalable. We have almost one lakh users in our organization.

The support is good. We do not contact support often. Our in-house support team can manage the issues by themselves.

The IT team does the setup for us. One administrator is enough to deploy the product.

The ROI is good. We have got a 100% return on investment.

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

It was the main operating system.

At the time, I used Windows 10, and it crashed a lot, but not as much as previous versions of Windows. That's one thing I can remember being a bit of a pain.

Moreover, I would like to see the little things like when you're working with Windows Explorer, you can open multiple tabs. It wasn't available in Windows 10.

I have been using Windows 10 since it's been out.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. I had some crashes. 

From a desktop perspective, it's scalable.

The customer service and support are good.

Neutral

It wasn't so much a decision as not having thought about it in advance. It's just when Windows 11 came out; it just felt natural, like progressing to a newer OS.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day.

The pricing is about average.

Just decided to work with it because it's the one that's commonly used.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It's easy enough to use, but sometimes it can be resource-hungry.

I used Windows 10 on my system. My office system uses Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge came with Windows 10. I can access features like games much better than on Windows 8.

In the beginning, the system froze a few times.

I used Windows 10 for three years before moving to Windows 11.

Although I experienced that blue screen of death twice, it stopped happening when the upgrades came.

Windows 10 is a stable product.

The initial setup is very easy. I've been using Windows as far back as XP or 98, so I'm very familiar with Windows Office and everything else.

Windows 10 is cheap. Microsoft Office came with Windows 10, and that's a very good package.

I switched to Windows 11 after reading reviews online. It comes with more features.

I recommend Windows 10 because it's easy to use and has a nice display. It has an editor, because of which I'm able to type better and all of that. Compared to the other OSes, I think Windows 10 is the best, even better than 11.

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.

I use the solution to run some applications. I also use it for normal browsing purposes.

This solution is easy to use. I am satisfied with the solution.

I want the solution's support to be improved. I want the support to be faster.

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years.

It's a stable product.

The solution's scalability is good. A lot of people are using the solution in my company. The usage of the solution is increasing day by day. Its usage may increase by 50% in the next two years.

I have contacted technical support. Though it is not as good as expected, it is reasonable.

The setup phase was straightforward. I deployed the solution in 2016.

The deployment process involves us taking the software from Forcepoint, then Hitachi personnel install it for the first time. After that, we upgraded it. We got it when it was Windows Version 1.0, and now we are at Windows Version 5.3. The upgrading part was done by my in-house team members.

For the deployment and maintenance, we need around 10-20 people.

For the first time, I implemented it with help from a Hitachi vendor.

I recommend the solution to smaller companies. But for larger companies, I cannot recommend it.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
