    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.

    I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

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

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

    I rate Windows 10 ten out of ten for scalability.

    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.

    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.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
