A user-friendly solution that has great functionality
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
- "The solution's price can be improved."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I was using Windows 10 for some time, and it was automatically updated. That was quite nice and made the solution user-friendly. The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality. For example, multiple tabs can be opened at one time.
What needs improvement?
Windows should focus on screen-sharing functions since it is a global issue.
In addition, when the print sharing function is selected and when it updates, it automatically stops the print sharing. There are also some pooling issues and we are unable to connect to shared printers in some locations.
The solution's price can be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 11 since it was launched.

It's stable. All of the programs run smoothly, and there are no flaws.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is almost 75% scalable.
How are customer service and support?
Contacting customer support is a very difficult task. There's no quick tech support there. You need to spend the entire day trying and sometimes they won't even respond. That's the biggest issue that I faced at multiple locations.
Once I forgot the password to enter into the OS and we tried to reset it. I've been contacting them here and there but I have not received any support from Microsoft. That's a problem that we fixed on our own.

I previously used Windows 10. The solution was upgraded automatically.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The GUI is very user-friendly. The deployment takes a few minutes.
What about the implementation team?
Windows 11 was implemented by the in-house team.

The licensing cost is high.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quick deployment and used for our workstation’s daily operations
Pros and Cons
- "We use Windows 11 for our workstation’s daily operations."
- "Major updates cause problems in small business environments because the end customers have to upgrade their workstations."
What is most valuable?
We use Windows 11 for our workstation’s daily operations.
What needs improvement?
What we don't like about the Windows platform is that every major update increases the requirements. Major updates cause problems in small business environments because the end customers have to upgrade their workstations. Sometimes, updates have problems, and we treat them with higher attention for workstations and servers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 11 for a couple of years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Windows 11 is a stable solution if you don't need to implement specific tasks. However, we have faced problems in some cases and had to roll back to the previous platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Less than ten users are using the tool in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is quite smart, and deploying Windows 11 on a workstation doesn't take much time.
What about the implementation team?
We have different scenarios ranging from manual deployment to imaging deployment using specific products.
What other advice do I have?
Our practice is generally to apply additional security products to Windows 11. Since I don't rely solely on the solution's security features, I add an additional layer of security using other products.
If the intention is to deploy Windows 11, I recommend always starting with high requirements or resources on the workstation. Do not try to use minimal resources because Windows 11 requires high resources.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
