Windows 11 Reviews

The organization uses document management systems and enterprise tools such as M-Files and SharePoint. I have worked with Windows 11, both personally and in a business context.

Windows 11 is mainly used for support and provides improved performance compared to Windows 10. It is faster, and the device is optimized for Windows 11. Having Windows 11 on both my personal and company laptops made it easier for me to use.

Drives are a significant issue, and finding the correct drives for everything to function properly is challenging. I also faced issues with Teams, although it's unclear whether this is related to Windows 11 or Teams itself.

I migrated to Windows 11 yesterday.

I previously used Windows 10 before upgrading to Windows 11.

The setup was relatively quick, taking about two hours, including handling driver-related tasks.

I have a university license, so I do not pay anything for Windows 11.

I mentioned disliking Apple devices.

I rate Windows 11 eight out of ten. It is important to recognize available space for improvement.

I use Windows 11 for development environments and find it user-friendly.

The tool's pricing is expensive.

I have been working with the product for five years. 

I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten. 

Windows 11 is scalable. We faced challenges integrating it in multi-app environments, requiring complex API setups. Our organization has about 600+ users who use it regularly.

The tool's support is good. 

The setup is complex and not straightforward. Deployment takes about three to four hours at the production level. We need a team of about 30 people for deployment and maintenance, including senior staff, mid-level, and SREs.

We have in-house tech expertise to handle deployment. 

The licensing is expensive, but it's value for money. Many people need it for deployment in Windows environments. It's very much required at this time.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. I'd recommend it as a good, user-friendly product with good tech support that can enhance productivity.

We use the solution for multiple use cases in our organization.

The new search bar is a valuable feature. The performance is better than the previous version. Windows is one of the best operating systems an enterprise or user can use. It is better than other available operating systems in the market. The tool is easy to use.

The solution must improve its compatibility with other software like .NET or Java. Timely patches and updates from Windows will be more helpful in making it more effective and secure promptly. Generally, macOS is better at providing patches. It has fewer vulnerabilities. Windows must develop better code that can help minimize vulnerabilities.

Many tools are coming up with AI capabilities. Windows must also consider introducing AI capabilities. It will become easier to use. The tool’s performance must be improved a little bit. The vendor must focus on building more reliable hardware. The Apple hardware is designed specially. Apple devices' life span is much longer than that of any Windows device.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement.

Since installation takes less time, we can easily scale the product. It's not a challenge.

The setup is straightforward compared to the previous version. The deployment takes five to ten minutes. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the number of systems in which we want to install the solution.

We need to pay for the license. I rate the pricing a five or six out of ten. The tool is expensive.

We use third-party solutions for security. I faced no challenges while integrating the solution with our IT infrastructure. There were a couple of dependencies, but it is normal when introducing a new operating system. There will be some dependency issues. By using Windows, we can easily focus on the other things rather than focusing on the system. The utility can be leveraged to deliver more value and focus on more important tasks. Other tools are ending support. I’m generally an early adapter of technology. I’m more curious about the new features and functionalities available in the operating systems.

Overall, I rate the product a seven to eight out of ten.

I use Windows 11 on my laptop to use Outlook or Microsoft applications.

Windows 11 is now more stable and doesn't crash like its earlier versions.

Windows 11 is quite expensive compared to other products. Microsoft Windows 11 has to improve compared to Mac OS, which is very stable and GUI-based.

I have been using Windows 11 for more than four years.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.

Windows 11 is a scalable solution.

Microsoft's technical support team has responded quickly and resolved our issues.

The initial setup of the solution is very easy, and anybody can do it.

Setting up the product is very easy. You need to have the OS image or CD. I believe most laptops have Windows preloaded on them. You have to start with that image, and then it'll ask for basic information, such as language, storage information, and other preferences.

Windows 11 is a very user-friendly solution. Anyone can get used to the tool and easily install any application. Microsoft support is really good. Windows 11 is more stable compared to its earlier versions.

We need to make a one-time payment for Windows 11.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten.

Since Windows 11 is the latest version, you get support from vendors and regular OS updates. I would recommend the solution to other users because it is a good solution for people looking to use it for personal use.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.

When we started using Windows 11 on our notebooks and desktops, we had no problems with the tools our users needed, so overall, it was a good transition for us. Most users in our company use Windows 11 for office work, mostly from home a couple of days a week. They mainly use it to manage information with Excel and Word, save files in the cloud, and access corporate activities via VPN.

The tool's most valuable feature is its stability. When we planned the migration, about 70 percent of it was done remotely. We encountered some incidents, which were resolved quickly. 

The product needs options for personalization and self-development. AI functions are also another area where improvement can be made. We're starting to use these features, but there's room for further development and integration.

I have been using the product since June 2023. 

We have a Microsoft partner in Brazil who handles local support. However, for issues that require level three or level four support, they initiate a process with Microsoft to address the problem. I need to follow up on this process.

Positive

I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. It took six months to complete. The first step was to analyze and classify the users based on their needs and priorities. We categorized users into high, medium, or low priority based on their requirements. For example, users managing industrial information or accessing critical systems for IoT were given special attention.

I'm not directly involved in the financial aspects, but based on feedback from colleagues, Microsoft is flexible with pricing and addressing other licensing needs.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. I began my career using Linux many years ago. In Brazil, I witnessed the evolution of Windows, starting with Windows 3.1, then Windows Workgroup, and later Windows Server. Microsoft introduced Outlook, marking a successful journey for the company. Their support has been instrumental in the standardization and development of tools.

In our daily operations, we primarily use the operating system from the client side. When it comes to hardware, we always opt for the latest version. Restarting Windows and Office also opens new possibilities, advancements, and stability for our systems. The built-in antivirus from Microsoft is also good, eliminating the need to purchase additional antivirus software.

The tool's integrated antivirus program, Microsoft Defender, is enough for my purpose. 

Windows 11 needs to improve its pricing. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

I rate Windows 11's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has five to six users. 

From my experience, I've never needed to use the Microsoft support team. As long as your hardware is compatible with Windows 11, there are usually no issues. However, you may need to find solutions if you encounter problems with older hardware. However, everything should work perfectly if you have new hardware that matches the Windows 11 requirements.

The tool's deployment is easy and takes only 15-20 minutes. The setup process is really easy. You provide basic information like your PC's name, date, and details. There's no need to search or think too much. Everything is straightforward. Even if you're not experienced, you can easily install it. You can adjust settings like time zones easily, too.

I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten. 

It's crucial to ensure compatibility when considering hardware, especially with drivers signed specifically for Windows 11. Having hardware that is compatible with the operating system eliminates potential issues. This approach is straightforward and without any compatibility issues. While older systems may not be compatible, matching the hardware with the Windows 11 operating system for daily or business use is highly recommended.

I rate the product a ten out of ten. It is the most accurate and stable system that I have ever seen. I wouldn't advise others who want to start using Windows 11 to stick with older hardware. It's essential to have hardware that meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11. Otherwise, you may encounter issues with updates and new features. I recommend using new hardware for Windows 11 because it offers the best integration with the software and operating system.

The value lies in having a robust and capable operating system for everyday tasks, whether fieldwork or any other type of usage. In that sense, Windows 11 is a highly valuable, powerful, and familiar operating system.

Windows 11 is more user-friendly in terms of GUI (Graphical User Interface) and offers a wide range of settings and preferences. It's great for configuration in both cloud and on-premise environments. The integration with other systems is good, especially for network analytics and configuration. 

It also provides features for troubleshooting and encryption of the disk. Overall, it offers a comprehensive overview of daily workflows and network services.

One of the most valuable features of Windows 11 is its ability to provide detailed statistics about the laptop's performance, including battery usage, CPU performance, and network performance. These statistics are useful for IT professionals to analyze and plan for the laptop's future needs.

In terms of improvement, I have noticed some latency issues when loading large Excel or Word files. I'm not sure if it's a network or software issue, but it would be great if they could address that. 

Additionally, in terms of security, implementing easier remote access to laptops and providing more mature patching options would be beneficial. Overall, there is room for improvement in these areas.

It should also give complete support for already tested versions. 

I have some experience in configuring it.

Windows 11 has been stable for us, especially when using basic applications like Microsoft Office. Perfomance-wise, it is doing a good job.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Technically, Windows 11 does the job. And there haven't been any major changes. Technically, setting up an IP address and putting it in the network is straightforward. 

As for managers and staff, it's almost the same in my environment. They have the privilege to read and execute solutions, but there haven't been any major improvements or changes in 50% of Windows 11.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It has room for improvement. Maybe they can focus more on sizing and screen protection, like glare protection for screens for professional laptops.

Around 80 users are using Windows 11 in our organization. Even the laptops come with Windows 11, and with the current economy, it's affordable for us to buy laptops with Windows 11.

I used the support for Windows 10, and overall, I can give them a good rating for Microsoft Windows support. They are very quick and knowledgeable about their product. They give you peace of mind when they troubleshoot all the minor things we are unable to do. 

Positive

The setup process for Windows 11 is quite straightforward, especially in a work environment. Joining a domain and connecting to an Azure network is very simple these days. The configuration policies are similar to previous versions, making it easy to implement them on laptops.

We handled the deployment in-house. There was no need for external consultants or integrators.

The deployment process for configuring Windows 11 is quite simple. When you start the setup, it guides you through the process, whether you want to use it as an online or on-premise user. You enter your username and password and check the configurations. 

If you have Intune in your environment, you can configure your laptop's settings and applications through Azure. It's a straightforward process that requires basic information and credentials.

For the return on investment, suppose we buy a laptop at this price and use it for five years. Then, the ROI is around 30% to 40%.

License-wise, when you buy a laptop with Windows 11, it comes with the license integrated into the board itself. So I don't need to buy any additional licenses. I only buy laptops with Windows 11 licenses integrated.

To start using Windows 11, you can go ahead. It's a good product with stable performance. It's very easy to use, and the graphical user interface (GUI) is user-friendly. You don't need specific technical knowledge. 

Everything is easily accessible for control and simple configuration. They also have an audit log, which is very useful for IT users to track events on the laptop. It's easier, and they provide solutions to resolve any problems. 

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. It has room for improvement, but overall, it's a good investment.

I use Windows 11 for school. I use Word, Excel, Outlook, and a number of other Microsoft products.

It has helped with analytics and everything that I need Windows products for. If I need to take notes, I use Word, and for analytics, I use Excel.

Windows 11 needs to improve the speed with which it loads programs

In addition, when you go to analytics to load analytics features and click on "analyze using server," that interface comes up blank 90% of the time.

I've used Windows for about five years.

The solution is very stable.

I rate Windows 11's scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup was straightforward. It goes from one step to another, and then you're done.

So far, Windows 11 has been good for my academic purposes.

The solution is affordable.

I use Power BI, and there is a comparison between it and Excel. About 80 formulas and functions in Excel are exactly the same as what I have in Power BI. Some functions are specific to Power BI, but Power BI needs improvements in offering something different from Excel.

However, Microsoft is Microsoft, and it's the most widely used OS. I don't know what else to recommend if you don't want to use Windows 11. I rate Windows 11 a nine out of ten.
