Has a good user portal and provides continuous updates
What is our primary use case?

The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.

What other advice do I have?
It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Easy to use and has good features like control panel, system settings, and backup

From one to ten, I rate the initial setup phase an eight, where ten means it is an easy process and one means it is difficult.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in three hours.
What about the implementation team?
I deployed the tool in my company.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs
What is most valuable?
Windows 10 makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs. Additionally, I can easily access and use applications. I find the task manager valuable, as I can quickly access it and turn off applications I don't want to use. Having a default Windows security feature makes it easy to engage.

The solution could have AI-driven functionality and voice integration features.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fair and takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the PC involved.
What other advice do I have?
Every few days, a new Windows update is released. It contains errors. It's often sold out, so it's hard to get. It practically sells itself. It's the go-to for PCs, and it's stable. It's worth a couple of hundred dollars for users.
Windows 10 includes features that allow it to run with various types of products and envision their capacity, so be sure to save it.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Easy to use and offers good performance

What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the notepad.
What needs improvement?
My problem with the product stems from the fact that it does not ask for your opinion or time when going for an upgrade. I feel that the product just starts the upgrade abruptly.

My company has opted for a volume-based license.
What other advice do I have?
The performance offered by Windows 10 is better compared to the one offered by Windows 7.
The security framework offered by the product is not good enough for our company, and this is one of the reasons why we are using an additional product for endpoint protection.
One thing that I don't like about the product is when I present the product to our company's client. The clients find that they need to update without any dialogue box appearing for them asking whether they want to update it or not.
To those who plan to use the product, I would say that they need to be careful while using free Wi Fi access.
With regards to whether the solution supports hardware compatibility compared to its previous versions, I would say that one of the reasons why my company moved to the cloud was for compatibility, but in general I know that there is a need to refresh technology after five to eight years of its initial purchase.
In terms of the benefits offered by the product, I would say that it is very easy to use and is very user-friendly.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

What about the implementation team?
Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.
If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.
What other advice do I have?
The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.
