Offers good support, easy enough to use and from a desktop perspective, Windows 10 is scalable

  • January 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

It was the main operating system.

What needs improvement?

At the time, I used Windows 10, and it crashed a lot, but not as much as previous versions of Windows. That's one thing I can remember being a bit of a pain.

Moreover, I would like to see the little things like when you're working with Windows Explorer, you can open multiple tabs. It wasn't available in Windows 10.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since it's been out.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. I had some crashes.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

From a desktop perspective, it's scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

It wasn't so much a decision as not having thought about it in advance. It's just when Windows 11 came out; it just felt natural, like progressing to a newer OS.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is about average.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Just decided to work with it because it's the one that's commonly used.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It's easy enough to use, but sometimes it can be resource-hungry.

Easy installation and the initial setup time is reasonable

  • January 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use it for running various applications, like Office 365.

What is most valuable?

Compared to earlier versions I've used, it's certainly an improvement in some ways. I started with Windows way back, maybe even before 3.0, though that was the first widely used.

I was already using Windows 2.0 during university, then was required to use 3.0, 3.1, and Windows 95. I skipped 98 and switched to XP.

So, it's hard to pinpoint a specific "business case" for Windows 10. There's Linux as an alternative, but compatibility with the applications I use just wasn't there, making it a poor choice for me. In that sense, it's mostly just a one-way street.

What needs improvement?

Stability can be an issue. I have to restart it every two days. And the boot time is quite long. My laptop's old, has no SSD, and is just a traditional Winchester. Had desktops with Windows 11 and SSDs, much better performance. But hardware limitations on my current laptop lead to stability and response issues.

It's more like the whole reinstall every two years thing. It makes cleaning a pain. Performance improves significantly after a fresh install, then slowly deteriorates as I add more programs.

But my biggest concern with Windows 10 is actually bigger than my situation. I'm replacing my laptop anyway, but I read that Windows 10 support ends in a year or so. And with hardware limitations, many other computers won't run Windows 11. So it's not just me. A lot of people with decent, still-working Windows 10 machines will lose support and be unable to switch to 11.

This will be a significant problem for individuals and institutions. Large companies with thousands of computers don't replace them every three years, and they might face issues with many computers unable to run Windows 11 and lacking support for 10.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 10 for several years. It's the core system on my current laptop. So, I've been using it for over five years, basically since its introduction.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is definitely more stable, not like the earlier versions with those constant blue screens when the system crashed. I've been using it for years and maybe seen the blue screen only two or three times. So, it's really stable.

The problem isn't the stability, but the performance definitely degrades over time.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If you add more RAM, Windows will use it and provide better performance. But otherwise, it's not easy to interpret scalability in this context.

I work in a small organization. Maybe 10 to 15 people use Windows 10, but individually not centrally managed.

How are customer service and support?

We get support mostly from internet searches. Windows has some built-in diagnostics for network issues, printing problems, and so on. Sometimes, the analysis results or even failures from these tools lead you to different support homepages. I've found some helpful answers there, but it's not always clear whether it's an official Microsoft page or just a general support site.

On the other hand, Windows is so widely used that almost every problem has been encountered by someone else. There are usually multiple solutions or workarounds available online. So, in that sense, the support is pretty good. I've never actually had to contact a technical support rep directly.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The full setup takes about an hour and a half. Naturally, installing all your programs after that can take two days, but that's a separate issue.

The process was pretty simple. I prepped an installation flash drive with the necessary components from the Windows homepage, stuck it in, and the setup started.

I gave some parameters and entered my license key, and that was pretty much it. There were some choices along the way, but they were all straightforward.

It was on-premises for me, but I know larger organizations can deploy Windows remotely with disk images or over the network. That's a different process, though.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I paid for a license, but there's no monthly fee. It was a one-time purchase, maybe around $100, with my laptop. Not a huge expense.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I didn't evaluate other options. When Windows 10 came out, I was still on Windows 7, and I switched pretty quickly within a year. Didn't really explore alternative options. I did try Linux as a possibility, but the software I use isn't compatible.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would advise not to install too many unnecessary programs because it will definitely slow down Windows, especially those with resident components running in the background.

Ensures an increase in the productivity of its users

  • January 11, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use Windows 10 in my company as an operating system to install applications, and then we use the applications to do what we need to do. The tool helps our company use browsers to surf the internet. With Windows 10, there are office tools that help users to work.

How has it helped my organization?

The tool's use increased productivity in our company because its users don't need any training to get started with the solution.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use, making it a user-friendly product.

What needs improvement?

Windows 10 has already been moved to Windows 11, but of course, they are more or less the same tool. Windows 10 can do something to make the tool available without the need to boot it. It takes a lot of time to boot Windows 10, and I want it to complete the booting process in two or three minutes. The search functionality in the product has glitches at times.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 since its inception. I believe I have been using the product for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a very scalable solution.

Around 8,000 users in my company use the product. Even if my company plans to expand the use of the solution, we will do it at a slow pace.

How are customer service and support?

My company pays to get premium support from Microsoft.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My company has experience with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8, and Windows 11. My company kept upgrading to the latest version of the solution.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

You need to have Windows OS in place for the product's deployment phase. If you're doing the deployment online, you can download the tool. If you don't take care of the deployment online, you need a bootable device.

The solution can be deployed in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your internet strength.

Around five to ten people are required to take care of the product's deployment and maintenance phases.

What about the implementation team?

The installation phase of the product can be managed by oneself.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am not part of the vendor management team, so I don't know the product's price, but I know that my company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft.

What other advice do I have?

The performance of the product is good.

The product is easy to use and is straightforward.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

User-friendly, easy to setup and manage domain

  • January 11, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My use case is related to the corporate office.

What is most valuable?

It is user-friendly, and its features are good. It's user-friendly, and you can toggle between all your UI and features, which is good.

What needs improvement?

There is a little bit room for improvement in UI. I would just recommend that Windows 10 focus more on security. Windows 10 should update patches promptly as they become available for normal security purposes to prevent hacking and other issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for more than ten years. I am a Microsoft lover. I've been using it since Windows XP, so it's been quite a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?


What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability depends on the customer's requirements, like storage needs. It's flexible.

If it's a virtual machine (VM), scalability is good. But for physical devices, it depends on the specific setup.

All of our employees, over 5,000, are using Windows products. The number has been increasing over the past 20 years. All of our users are on Windows systems.

Mostly engineers use Windows. Some use Linux, depending on client requirements. But Windows is used extensively.

How are customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. It took less than half an hour.

What about the implementation team?

We didn't take anyone's help. I did it myself. I deployed it myself.

The process is quite simple. Since CDs and all the necessary materials are available, you just follow the on-screen instructions. It's not complicated at all.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Windows 10 has a good subscription. But, Microsoft should work on making the OS more affordable to compete with other operating systems like Linux, which is known for its security and is used on many servers. They could also add new features and support more applications.

The licensing is yearly. I think the license is only available on a yearly basis. It would be nice if they offered some one-time license options where you could procure it for a lifetime.

It's not expensive or cheap, but it's in a mediocre range. They could make it a little bit cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The benefits are more related to software users or people who use Windows in organizations. It's easy to manage domains and configure it. That's a major benefit.

Even if the OS gets corrupted or compromised, users can easily format the system and start over. That can be done very easily.

A modern interface providing users with an upgraded and user-friendly operating system experience

  • December 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.
