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.

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?

Used as an operating system for endpoints, but it is not very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "We use Windows 10 as an operating system for endpoints."
  • "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

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

A robust operating system for the client side
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side."
  • "The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 for my private purposes, even after buying Windows 11, because this is the usual path for using the operating system generated on the client side.

What is most valuable?

Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side.

What needs improvement?

The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 from the beginning, of course, when it appeared on the market.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of the latest version of the solution ten out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

What about the implementation team?

Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.

If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.

What other advice do I have?

The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

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.

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?

    What needs improvement?

    Windows Updating System needs improvement. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for five years.

    A highly scalable and user-friendly operating system for workstations in corporate offices
    Pros and Cons
    • "Windows 10 is a user-friendly operating system."
    • "The solution should improve the updates because the computers have a boot error whenever they release an upgrade."

    What is our primary use case?

    We used Windows 10 for workstations on operations or corporate offices.

    What is most valuable?

    Windows 10 is a user-friendly operating system.

    What needs improvement?

    The solution should improve the updates because the computers have a boot error whenever they release an upgrade.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    We sometimes couldn't operate the system because of the error on updates.

    I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Less than 1,000 users were using the solution in our organization.

    I rate Windows 10 ten out of ten for scalability.

    What about the implementation team?

    The solution's installation and configuration took around one hour. We deploy the solution manually. Since we don't have automatic deployment, we install the operating system one step at a time.

    What was our ROI?

    Since Windows 10 is the only operating system we use, it is very useful for us in the office to run all applications.

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

    We pay a licensing fee for Windows 10, which is too expensive.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

    A modern interface providing users with an upgraded and user-friendly operating system experience
    Pros and Cons
    • "It showcases a diverse range of applications without consuming excessive storage."
    • "When there are updates, the system should automatically identify and remove any unnecessary previous features that are no longer needed, ensuring that they don't take up space on the storage media during this period."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use it as the operating system.

    What is most valuable?

    It showcases a diverse range of applications without consuming excessive storage.

    What needs improvement?

    When there are updates, the system should automatically identify and remove any unnecessary previous features that are no longer needed, ensuring that they don't take up space on the storage media during this period. A reduction in pricing aligned with the local exchange rate would indeed be a welcomed improvement.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with it for approximately six years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I haven't faced any major downtime. All that's required is regular updates to ensure the system remains secure.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support service management is satisfactory for me.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was straightforward. The sequential instructions help you enable the follow-along feature, ensuring a smooth progression until you reach the final stages of the installation process.

    What about the implementation team?

    The installation process is contingent on product specifications detailing RAM and processor requirements. Larger systems with significant resources tend to take more time, while smaller installations, say two or four gigabytes, are completed noticeably easier.

    What was our ROI?

    I recognize the value it provides, as it protects me from attacks.

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

    The pricing is on the higher end, especially in Nigeria where the exchange rate is considerably high, making it challenging to afford such products.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I would rate it eight 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.

    It's ubiquitous, so everyone can use it
    Pros and Cons
    • "Windows 10 is ubiquitous, so everyone knows how to use it."
    • "I would like the updates to be less intrusive. It would be great if Windows could update without restarting. They've made some improvements in that regard, but there is still some room to do better. I would still like monthly updates, but it would be nice if I didn't need to tell everyone to log out and save their work because their computer needs to be rebooted."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Windows 10 as a client to run all the software we develop in-house. It is a development platform for the software we're developing here. We also use it for web and email. 

    What is most valuable?

    Windows 10 is ubiquitous, so everyone knows how to use it. 

    What needs improvement?

    I would like the updates to be less intrusive. It would be great if Windows could update without restarting. They've made some improvements in that regard, but there is still some room to do better. I would still like monthly updates, but it would be nice if I didn't need to tell everyone to log out and save their work because their computer needs to be rebooted. 

    I could also do without the advertising and notifications in the default browser. It's annoying. One of the first changes we make is to switch off those extra distractions that it tries to put in there.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used Windows 10 since it came out. 

    How was the initial setup?

    Setting up Windows is straightforward. We usually buy it preloaded, so there isn't much to do. 

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

    Windows 10 is included with the computers we buy, so I'm unsure how that breaks down. When I worked for an OEM years ago, I know that OEM licenses were quite cheap, but I don't know if that has changed since then. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10. My suggestion to people who plan to use Windows 10 is to disable all the notifications and advertising that are enabled by default, like the news, weather, etc.
