Windows 11 Reviews

I use Windows 11 for Excel, Word, downloading, browsing, and office use.

The solution's most valuable features are overall desktop and fast booting. The solution is fast, doesn't get hung, and minimizes operational issues, which improves the end user's productivity.

The solution's memory management could be improved.

I have been using Windows 11 for one and a half years.

The solution's high level of stability ensures that the machine doesn't go down multiple times. People can be more productive since they face minimal problems with the machine because of its good stability.

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

The solution's scalability is good because it allows you to run a large number of virtual machines. It also helps us do a lot of scenario testing. More than 30,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

The technical support team’s response time is very slow. It takes almost a week to resolve an issue.

I rate the solution’s technical support a five or six out of ten.

I previously used Windows 10. I switched to Windows 11 as part of a normal life cycle change.

The solution is deployed in our organization through SCCM. The solution's upgrade process from Windows 10 to Windows 11 took almost two hours.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup an eight out of ten.

Windows 11 is an easy and user-friendly solution.

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

We use our laptops with Windows only. We use it for everything. For the last 20 years, my entire career, I've been using Windows only.

Office 365 will be extensively used, along with other tools from Office 365.

Everything is good. It's easy to use.

It supports AI initiatives. Like we use co-pilot. 

Most of the time, we use it for the validation of our data and code, or even code generation.

What I'd like is something like Beyond Compare. We have Beyond Compare to compare two versions of the same file. 

If we can have something like that in Windows, it would be a great help to everyone.

I have been using it for the last couple of years. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

It is a standalone system. There is nothing to scale. 

We deal with our internal IT support. If they cannot resolve anything, they may contact Microsoft support. But we are okay with our internal IT support itself.

We always use Windows 11. Only for a couple of development purposes, we sometimes use Linux.

The initial setup is straightforward. Nothing much complex.

It is a cloud product. It was easy to integrate it into the existing infrastructure. There were no challenges. 

It can be done in-house.

It positively impacts an organization's operational costs. Clearly, a one-time payment will be a lump sum, but if we make it monthly, maybe you can help the customers by reducing some amount or percentage if they pay monthly.

We take a yearly license, but payment-wise, it's better to pay monthly.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

Windows is good. I'll give it a positive note.

I would recommend it to others because it's easy to use. It will help in our day-to-day work and improve productivity as it is simple to learn and leverage.

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 frequently use extensive virtualization, managing multiple virtual machines for various tasks. Security is a top priority for me, and it hinges on two critical factors. Firstly, security software's effectiveness in detecting and responding to potential threats. Secondly, the underlying Windows system's reliability relies on regular updates from Microsoft. These updates, often in the form of security patches, play a crucial role in addressing vulnerabilities and ensuring the overall security of the Windows environment.

The use of TPM 2.0 is appreciated for its role in encrypting communication between the processor and RAM. Despite not being a prominent feature, this encryption is crucial for preventing potential attacks from penetration testers and hackers. By securing this connection, it significantly reduces the risk of a fundamental system breach. Even if a new operating system is installed, the underlying security remains intact, highlighting TPM as an essential security measure.

The most valuable aspect is the seamless integration and robust compatibility of other tools. The standout feature, known as the Linux App System Forwarded, enables the use of Linux commands within the Windows environment. Previously, I had to install specific Linux distributions to achieve similar functionality. Now, I can effortlessly enjoy both Windows and Linux simultaneously, making it a highly beneficial feature.

A significant drawback is its cost for the hardware requirements that is important for optimal performance which makes it less accessible and potentially impractical for many users globally. One notable additional feature is Windows Defender, an antivirus software by Microsoft. While it may not compete with other antivirus programs in terms of recognition, it serves its purpose effectively for many users. There's room for improvement, especially in the firewall aspect. Enhancements in the firewall's capabilities would elevate the overall security of the system.

I have been working with it for a year now.

It provides excellent stability capabilities. I would rate it nine out of ten.

It doesn't follow a scalable model; instead, it leans more towards specific hardware requirements. Currently, acquiring new hardware can be quite costly. At the moment, we have a total of forty PCs.

I recall having a few instances where I needed technical support, and I must say, the assistance provided was truly impressive.

Positive

I used a different solution, but I switched to Windows 11 because  security holds paramount importance for me, and any new acquisition in this regard always receives significant attention. The focus is primarily on refining and resolving issues to ensure effective protection services.

The initial setup was quite easy. I would rate it eight out of ten.

The deployment on hardware typically takes a total of twenty to thirty minutes. Typically, I navigate to Google and use the Media Creation Tool for Windows 11, enabling me to download the trial version. Subsequently, I installed it on a USB drive and connected it to the PC. Booting from the USB drive makes the process straightforward - I select the destination and network EFI system, then follow the steps. It requires no maintenance.

We accomplished a ninety percent of ROI.

The pricing is affordable. There are no additional add-ons or extra payments – just one initial price, providing everything needed.

I evaluated FEMCO, however, despite its user-friendly interface, not everyone is acquainted with the vendor. Windows, being the most popular choice, aligns well with my preferences.

I would recommend ensuring the acquisition of proper hardware. Some unofficial sources or tweaks may claim compatibility, but it's crucial to rely on reputable ones for optimal performance on a PC and to fully leverage its capabilities. Understanding the cost and having a well-thought-out migration plan is also vital when contemplating a new operating system. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

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 the solution for my everyday tasks. I use it to run my Office suite. 

The tool is very stable and I don't recall a time the screen went blue which was common for Windows 7. The product's installation is fast. If I have any issue that prevents me from booting Windows 11, it will automatically run into auto-repair mode and fix those issues. Windows 10 had this functionality but it wasn't good. 

I would like to add a frontend to manage the virtual machines that are installed in Windows 11. It should also improve security which includes patching the vulnerabilities. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

The solution runs perfectly and there are no stability issues. 

Windows 11 is a very scalable product. In the past, we had to reinstall the OS. However, with Windows 11, all you have to do is type in the new key. My company has ten percent of users for the product. Most of the machines are still using Windows 10. 

I do my own technical support and I haven't faced any issues that would require assistance from Microsoft engineers. 

The product's setup was easy and straightforward. It automatically rebooted and I didn't have to do anything. 

My machine came with a Windows 10 license and I upgraded to Windows 11 without paying anything. If you buy a new computer, Windows 11 is included with it. 

The tool's updates are easier to apply. I would rate Windows 11 a ten out of ten. It's easy, fast, and intuitive. The solution keeps me connected to the internet and boosts my productivity. It also doesn't hang which is critical for anyone using the system. 

We use Windows 11 for desktop computing.

We have seen a return on investment with Windows 11.

We pay for a yearly license for Windows 11. I rate Windows 11 eight out of ten for pricing.

I would recommend Windows 11 to other users.

Overall, I rate Windows 11 a 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.

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.

It has been very good, better than Windows 10. The graphics have improved, and there have been many changes. 

So, overall, the latest version is very good, especially in terms of operation.

The search bar and Graphic User Interface (GUI) are the most important features for me. 

There is room for improvement in terms of security. 

I have worked with Windows 11 since the beginning. We have been using Windows 11 since the day of its release. So, we used it for two years.

I would rate the stability of Windows 11 an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the scalability of Windows 11 a ten out of ten. 

Currently, there are over a hundred users using Windows 11. We plan to increase the usage. 

The initial setup is very easy. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being very difficult. 

The deployment takes 30 to 40 minutes. 

I deployed it myself. 

It is expensive. The license is not priced per month or per year. It's a proprietary license that costs high.

I previously used Windows 10.

I would definitely recommend using Windows 11 because it is easy to use, and more options are available. 

Overall, I would rate Windows 11 a ten out of ten.
