What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It provides good stability capabilities. I would rate it eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
When it comes to scalability, there are different aspects to consider. From an end-user perspective, I am able to easily install and migrate my data onto a new PC. However, scalability takes on a different meaning in an enterprise context. For instance, if I want to upgrade a large number of users from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it can be a challenging task to manually update each desktop. With various products available, such as those integrated with Active Directory, you can streamline and automate the process for a thousand users or more. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I used Windows 10 previously, but my new laptop came with Windows 11, so I switched to it. One of the reasons for this switch was the need for a more secure environment.

These improvements contribute to a longer life expectancy for the system, which is another motivating factor.

Software Integration Engineer at Thales
Useful to handle huge projects and can be used to involve people from multiple countries
Pros and Cons
- "The artificial intelligence capabilities of the product have supported my organization."
- "My problem with Windows 11 stems from the fact that I have to update it every other day."
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature stems from the fact that it has been a huge product for Australia's air traffic control system for many years. People use the tool for huge projects.
What needs improvement?
Improvements are required in the area of integration and the quality offered because my company has a lot of pressure from our customers that some updates be released every few months.
My problem with Windows 11 stems from the fact that I have to update it every other day. Every week I have to take care of the upgrades and the patches associated with the product. From an improvement perspective, the frequency of updates should be lesser.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 11 for many years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. With the tool, we are able to control airplane traffic.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, I would say that the product has the ability to control Australia's air traffic, so the system is used to control the whole site and the air traffic in every city.
At my site, I can say that there are around 500 users of the solution.
How was the initial setup?
For deployment, my company just puts everything into IPAM and uses Ansible script for downloading and deployment. My company uses the cloud services offered by Azure to deploy some systems on the cloud so the customer can divide the systems in the cloud so that they can access the systems from the local cloud.
For now, my company uses Ansible during the product's deployment phase.
When there is a new release of the product, it takes us one week to fully deploy it. Windows 11 is a huge product.
What other advice do I have?
My company handles huge projects and involves many people from multiple countries. My area of work is to accept all the component changes every day. I also deal with areas like integration and current trends and provide the latest updates to everyone in my company.
My company has a separate team to handle the area of security because we work for the government and military, so the security level needs to be very high.
I recommend the tool to others because it provides most of the functions for many users and is also very friendly. Developers mostly like Linux, and they like it more than Windows because it's very clean and offers good user control. With Windows, sometimes the tool gets corrupted.
In terms of benefits, my company uses a lot of Windows-based applications like Outlook, Word, Excel, and emails for normal communication purposes because almost everyone knows how to use Windows, which provides ease of communication.
The artificial intelligence capabilities of the product have supported my organization.
Since last year, I have used OpenAI assets to improve my development efficiency by 100 percent. Windows 11 is a very good tool, and now, a lot of developers are opening up to OpenAI. You can also choose the language in seconds.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
