    User interface familiarity and speedy setup enhance satisfaction

    Reviewed on Jul 25, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer
    ">

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Windows 10  for regular office activities.

    What is most valuable?

    The user interface is something I'm used to and familiar with.

    Regarding features, I am not sure what the most helpful or useful aspects of Windows 10  are, or what makes it particularly special.

    What needs improvement?

    Performance and slowness are areas that could be improved in Windows 10. Sometimes the system experiences slowdowns.

    The only issue I face and can remember is related to performance.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for 10 years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    The initial setup was not difficult for me as I only needed to install it.

    However, it takes a couple of hours to complete the full installation.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not contacted Microsoft support and cannot think of any relevant experiences.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    I have not had the opportunity to work with other operating systems such as Linux.

    What other advice do I have?

    I am not fully involved in technical work, and I may not be the most qualified person to provide feedback.

    Regarding licensing, I am using Windows 10 through my office and am not familiar with the details.

    I am not sure about virtual desktop functionality.

    The system is not integrated with other tools.

    I make use of the Edge browser and Chrome.

    Regular updates work fine.

    On a scale of 1-10, I rate Windows 10 a 9.

    What is our primary use case?

    I use the voice activation feature often for my job, but every day it involves a feature such as Office or Outlook.

    I primarily use the Windows system.

    Windows Server  is the most common use case for me.

    What is most valuable?

    The best feature I found is for SQL Server .

    I use Edge browser with Windows.

    What needs improvement?

    I don't know where my company buys licenses.

    I have no idea, but version upgrades can be challenging.

    Installing Windows 10  can be difficult, as was the case with Windows 8 or 7.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10  for about four years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    We cannot control NetScout because this is too difficult in operator.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I don't understand how much time it takes to install, but over two years, I have not had to do this.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We do not perform any NPM  product because it's more difficult to control and configure.

    How are customer service and support?

    I rate the support of Windows 10 an 8 out of 10.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    Installing Windows 10 can be difficult, as was the case with Windows 8 or 7.

    What about the implementation team?

    I am not the owner of this product.

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

    It has a good price.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We have been using Cisco products for a while.

    What other advice do I have?

    I cannot provide any other security information because our colleague is in a different department.

    I am satisfied with Windows 10 security.

    On a scale of 1-10, I rate Windows 10 an 8.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    What is our primary use case?

    We have embedded our tool in Windows 10, so we do R&D through that for security integration with BitLocker.

    What is most valuable?

    We have embedded our tool in Windows 10, so we do R&D through that for security integration with BitLocker.

    There is no difficulty in integrating our tool with Windows 10.

    What needs improvement?

    Windows Teams has been upgraded recently, and the calendar has issues in it. The Teams calendar is experiencing problems, and that is the only issue I personally have.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been working with Windows 10 for the past one year.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    It is quite easy to set up Windows 10, as our tech team looks after this, and since we are an OEM, we have many tech specialists. The deployment and running of tools is not an issue.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have not faced any issues regarding stability or performance; any issues we have are from our end.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support from Microsoft is lukewarm.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

    How was the initial setup?

    It is quite easy to set up Windows 10, as our tech team looks after this, and since we are an OEM, we have many tech specialists. The deployment and running of tools is not an issue.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Pricing is an issue, as we have been looking for an AWS service that is cheaper. I have been looking at some other tools, and that will happen in the next month since we have our licenses for this month.

    What other advice do I have?

    We use Gmail and Outlook a lot, and other than that, we use Drive and nothing else.

    We do not work with Cortana voice commands.

    You just have to ask for permission. I do not handle all this.

    Outlook works for us, and we mainly use Outlook and Google, and it is working well for us.

    It is the time thing itself, because we have time-intensive activities, so time zone differences affect us. This is me just trying to frame what my tech team has told me.

    On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Windows 10 an eight.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    What is our primary use case?

    I am working with Aras PLM.

    We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10  and Jira .

    Teams has very good features.

    We are using soft phones.

    What is most valuable?

    We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10  and Jira .

    Teams has very good features.

    It is more comfortable and it is widely used everywhere in India. Almost 80-90% of people are using Windows 10.

    Microsoft Firewall is activated, but no other edge tools.

    What needs improvement?

    There is an issue with using Outlook, as you have to acquire a license. The basic version offered by Windows 10 does not allow direct preview of emails, requiring downloads instead. If they could allow email preview in the free version without downloading, it would be beneficial.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with this solution for the last five months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The system is very fast and quick.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have never needed customer service support.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    I have not used any previous solutions.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I have researched Oracle Agile PLM  and Aras Innovator  on my website, but feedback is not yet available for these solutions. I was wondering about other tools, particularly in the area of testing or test management.

    What other advice do I have?

    PLM is the main focus.

    Aras PLM is a US-based company that can be found through searching.

    The company name is spelled A R A S.

    I rate this solution 9 out of 10.

    Updates have slowed system performance impacting software usage

    Reviewed on May 14, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot
    ">

    What is our primary use case?


    What is most valuable?

    From Windows 98 to Windows 10 , there were various issues, however, Windows 10  has significantly improved. It processes information more quickly, and when using mapping software such as QGIS or ArcGIS , the system remains stable, especially when handling heavy files.

    What needs improvement?

    There were some issues with Windows 10, however, I cannot specify them at this moment.

    The system frequently attempts to update Windows 10 software, which significantly slows down my laptop computer. Though they fixed many issues for Windows 10, the update problem has become worse.

    When running mapping software and attempting to load an image, the system sometimes reboots unexpectedly. This might be partially due to my laptop, but it shouldn’t happen with 16 GB of memory.

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

    I am currently using Windows 10. I attempted to use Windows 11 , however, it was not compatible with my needs.

    What other advice do I have?

    The overall experience with Windows 10 is acceptable. Microsoft should maintain Windows 10 in its current state without making significant changes.
