Offers compatibility with all types of computers but needs to improve stability
Pros and Cons
  • "Speaking about how the solution actually supports hardware compatibility compared to previous versions, I would say that it can pretty much work with almost any type of computer."
  • "The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company for our standard daily operations and to use client Hyper-V.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that Windows 11 has been improved lately.

What needs improvement?

With Windows 10, there is room for improvement, especially in terms of the amount of time required to update the product. The time required to update the product should be shorter.

The tool's personal area network (PAN) features or screenshot functionalities need improvement since if you take two screenshots at once, one of them disappears in Windows 10. In Windows 11, if you take screenshots at once, you can get both of them in real time.

The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since it was released.

881,114 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There is no need to scale up the product in my company.

There are around 500 people in my company who use the product.

As my company uses Windows 10, it does not need to be increased since we use the right licenses. I believe that everything is already included in it.

There are no plans to increase the product's usage in my company.

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

Linux was one of the alternatives to Windows 10. I don't use Linux anymore.

How was the initial setup?

My company usually opts for a server-based deployment model.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

Installing from an ISO file typically takes a minute.

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

There is a need to make a payment towards the perpetual licensing model offered by the product.

What other advice do I have?

The security framework in Windows 10 is pretty much the same as Windows 8. Currently in Windows 10, you can enroll devices in Azure AD while also having access to BitLocker. 

I don't know if I can recommend the product to others since it is based on a user experience. Compatibility with most of the applications is possible, especially with the ones included in Microsoft's stack. The GUI is pretty much straightforward. The tool offers online support for the operating system.

Speaking about how the solution actually supports hardware compatibility compared to previous versions, I would say that it can pretty much work with almost any type of computer.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

  • "Windows 10 wasn't a very stable solution."

What is most valuable?

We use Windows 10 as an operating system for endpoints.

What needs improvement?

Windows 10 wasn't a very stable solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a six out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around 450 people in our organization use the solution regularly.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support was quite good and reliable.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

The solution's initial setup was pretty straightforward because we got it preloaded from the OEM.

What about the implementation team?

The solution’s deployment took about 45 minutes.

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

The solution’s licensing wasn’t expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I would not recommend Windows 10 to other users because it is not a stable solution. Windows 10 supported our hardware compatibility quite well. Windows 10 gave us good value for money.

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Initial setup was easy, and support native application
Pros and Cons
  • "It offers third-party or media environment support. I also like native environment support. Camera"
  • "System resource consumption is more than Linux. I would like better RAM and better memory optimization."

What is our primary use case?

I use the Windows Operating System. It all works for daily data operations.

What is most valuable?

It offers third-party or media environment support. I also like native environment support. Camera, microphone, multimedia instruments, browsers, and patent integrations are better than Linux.

What needs improvement?

System resource consumption is more than Linux.

I would like better RAM and better memory optimization.  

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for almost a decade now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. The memory optimization is not there yet.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This isn't an operating system for network operations. That's why a single operating system. There are around a hundred end users. 

We plan to increase the further usage. 

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

I used Linux and Solaris. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. It took an hour. 

What about the implementation team?

Just consultant and user. Deployment is just a few simple clicks after you attach the USB drive.  

We needed around three people from the technical team to handle the installation. They were admins and IT managers. 

What was our ROI?

The ROI is okay. 

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

It is only a one-time purchase. I can use it for a lifetime. 

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. I would recommend it from an end-user's operating system.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A versatile operating system that comes with a suite of features
Pros and Cons
  • "Microsoft Edge came with Windows 10."
  • "In the beginning, the system froze a few times."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

In the beginning, the system froze a few times.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Windows 10 is a stable product.

How was the initial setup?

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.

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

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Has an inbuilt antivirus in place, but needs to work on making the updates more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "With Windows 10, unlike the earlier versions, you have Defender, which is an added advantage."
  • "The updates are not user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution since its launch.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

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

How was the initial setup?

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.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

User-friendly, runs on multiple PCs and local support is easy to find
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is user-friendly and runs on multiple PCs."
  • "Features don't work correctly sometimes due to bugs."

What is our primary use case?

I use the built-in features of the solution. I utilize the resources to simulate different types of labs. Virtualization is another primary use case. 

What is most valuable?

The built-in Recorder helps record and store sessions that can be used afterward. The product is more user-friendly than its competitors, like Linux.

What needs improvement?

The updates keep coming in, and the frequency of Windows Updates can be reduced. Sometimes there are bugs. This makes some features not work correctly. Applications in Windows 10 also hang sometimes. 

In the future, they should check thoroughly for bugs before releasing the update. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three to four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. The updates and patch management need to be improved. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

85% of my bank uses it. 

How are customer service and support?

I would rate technical support a seven out of ten. Sometimes we take help directly from Microsoft, otherwise from local vendors. It takes a long time for a ticket to get processed.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is quite simple. 

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

The product is reasonably priced; it's neither too high nor too low. 

What other advice do I have?

One licensed Windows 10 product can be obtained for multiple PCs; this is a significant advantage over competitors. 

I would overall rate this product a ten out of ten. This is mainly due to its superior user-friendliness. For Windows 10, local support can be found easily in my area, which is another reason for my rating. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
