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.

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.

Users have recommended the current operating system for office tasks and appreciate the consistent performance
What is our primary use case?
I am mostly working with Windows 10. I am not working with Linux operating systems such as Ubuntu or Oracle; I primarily use Windows 10 operating systems.I work with Windows 10 only, but I also work with many other Microsoft solutions as well.I have been working with Windows 10 for almost 4-5 years, as I've been on Windows as long as my organization updates the operating systems.I use Windows 10 for my day-to-day office work.I will be honest; Windows 10 as an operating system is something I'm used to, and I've never worked on any other operating system apart from Windows 10, except Linux for a very small period of time. I recommend Windows 10 for all company sizes because it is used across the board, and I don't foresee it being a challenge. Windows 10 is the market leader, while Linux finds its use cases in very specialized roles.
What is most valuable?
Clients prefer LeanIX capabilities, especially around diagramming, because they are super easy. LeanIX is still preferred, but Ardoq is gaining traction.I find Copilot to be a very good and wonderful product. I use Copilot to capture meeting notes and get summaries and bullet points, and it is a wonderful tool.
What needs improvement?
I would improve Windows 10 by having fewer updates and addressing the warnings for restarting laptops when updates are installed automatically at the backend while I'm working. They can probably install updates during nighttime when I'm not working, as Apple does a fantastic job of it.Microsoft can improve their Teams product because everybody uses Teams, and it's very clunky and unfriendly in terms of scrolling back, downloading files, and moving back and forth within the different teams.Improvement is needed in boot time since once it gets dated and more updates come into play, booting time increases, which can be a pain from an end user's perspective.My final rating for Windows 10 is probably nine, as I've given it an eight, but the boot time issue and Teams not being great is a concern for me.I have two points for improvement regarding boot time and Teams.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Windows 10 for almost 4-5 years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I would rate the stability of the product an eight.I have never used Microsoft technical support; I've never used it at all.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For scalability, I would rate it a nine or ten because performance-wise, Windows 10 has never given me those issues; however, I don't do heavy work with the operating system.

What other advice do I have?
I don't consider myself an expert on Windows 10; I'm just an end user for the operating system based on my experience.I'm not the right person to ask about Windows 10 security; my friends who are into security and identity management tell me that Windows security is not that good, and I honestly don't know about it.I would recommend Windows 10 to other users without hesitation.My overall rating for Windows 10 is 9 out of 10.

Smooth transitions and responsive support enhance daily workflow
What is our primary use case?
I use Windows 10 as our primary operating system on our workstations. I perform my day-to-day activities using Microsoft Notes, PowerPoint, and Word, which are all part of Windows 10 environment.
What is most valuable?
Windows 10 is very smooth, and I experience no significant issues. The applications open up quickly, and transitions between windows are seamless. PowerPoint, Word, and Notes are essential tools for my day-to-day work.
What needs improvement?
The only issue I have encountered is with Microsoft Teams. It is comparatively slower than other apps and does not open as quickly. The transitions within Teams are not smooth, and call quality in meetings is not great. Due to this, we often use Zoom for meetings.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 10 for around three years.

Improved security features with gaming enhancements while supporting various features
What is our primary use case?
In my case, I would mostly say it's because of security reasons. At least for the typical use cases that I generally rely on Windows for, there didn't seem to be a noticeable performance difference for me. There's, of course, the overall more polished and streamlined UI, that sort of thing. However, that's more of a minor consideration for me. Mostly, it's about staying up to date with security patches, etcetera.
What is most valuable?
I understand that Windows 11 supports quite a bit of additional features for people who are, for example, into high-end gaming and the features that support that kind of utility.
It's not personally much of a thing for me, however, I've heard about differences between the two operating system versions. To the best of my knowledge, I think Windows 11 brings some AI features for Microsoft Copilot, which probably weren't as integrated into the previous version.
There are the occasional bugs and issues that pop up, yet none are significant enough for me to consider a major update. Overall, it's a smooth experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
At some point, I did use it. That is true.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are the occasional bugs and issues that pop up, however, none are significant enough for me to consider a major upgrade at that point or such.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I haven't worked on other tools. Usually, I work with Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Excel.
How was the initial setup?
I would say the setup goes into hours. Somewhere between two to two and a half hours is a good time for the entire installation, having the OS up and installing some basic drivers. That's a safe bet.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
In my case, when I purchased my laptop, it basically had Windows 11 preinstalled as well as one of the latest editions of Microsoft Goop, either 2016 or 2020. So everything came bundled in a single package, and I didn't have to buy it separately.
What other advice do I have?
Windows 11 is most likely the best choice. However, the entire operating system is a bit much. The Microsoft tools I mentioned are basically running on that OS. Not any significant changes, but in my older desktop, the hardware did not support a migration to Windows 11, which is why I had to move to newer hardware.
The overall product rating is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Deployment becomes smooth and performance improves significantly
What is most valuable?
The deployment is seamless and I am familiar with it. The configuration management tools, such as SACM, are effective. Deployment is not particularly difficult for both Windows 10 and 11. The upgrade process has been smooth, and performance has significantly increased, especially in laptops. Even for older laptops, the performance has improved by at least 25%.
What needs improvement?
I do not have notes for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 11 for the past two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
With newer applications and endpoint agents installed on Windows 10, it was somewhat challenging, however, it was not an issue with Windows itself. The challenges were related to third-party agents and their supportability. Not all agents were easy to install on top of Windows, and we have more than 40 agents.
How are customer service and support?
We are facing some challenges with Windows 11 where a pop-up appears when we enter the password. It asks if we want to change it or continue with the same, which is annoying. We have informed Microsoft, but the issue is still there, and it has been more than three to four months.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Since we procure enterprise licenses with support, it does not make much difference when it comes to support.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Windows 10 eight out of ten.

What is our primary use case?
The solution is mostly used by our employees for their daily office work. We use the solution in the IT industry.
What is most valuable?
The solution provides multitasking features. We use Windows 10 because our employees are more familiar with Windows than Linux. Windows 10 is more user-friendly than Linux.
What needs improvement?
The solution's resource usage for the user could be improved. Somehow, we cannot control the usage in the back end. We cannot control what the user has installed in their system. Sometimes, there is a spike in the solution's usage. We are not using the solution's security feature because we got a report from our security team that it is not quite good.

What was our ROI?
The biggest value we get from Windows 10 is its compatibility and user-friendly UI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is a bit expensive.
What other advice do I have?
In Windows 10, we have Windows Defender for security. We haven't faced any compatibility issues with Windows 10, and it works normally with our system. I would recommend the solution to other users because most people are familiar with Windows.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
