review on ubuntu

  • October 04, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1.Ubuntu is more stable.
2.You are free from Viruses so you don’t have to buy another upgrade of Norton or any other Antivirus software.
3.When you have installed Ubuntu, you don’t have to install anything else to get you started with your productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
1.The new Unity calculator app. The old one (ie prior to Ubuntu 10.10) was pretty much perfect. I'm sure there's a reason why it was swap for the ultra basic (and useless) one that's still provided 3 years later.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
every business has serious knock-on effects in the graceful failure department. Ubuntu's Software Centre can be instructed to spit out a simple list of all the apps ("packages" in Ubuntu-speak) you've installed. Any time you need to set up a new machine or recover an old one, you simply feed the list to the package manager and it will fetch all your apps and install and configure them without any further intervention.

9. A whole world of apps (Chromium, Gimp, LibreOffice etc)
10.Smarter searching
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few things that I don't like about ubuntu
1. After installing the OS, you need to update all the packages which take a lot of bandwidth
2. If crashes, difficult to recover the data
3. Few packages are not supported on my DELL Studio 1450
4. Frequent Updates needs more bandwidth
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this for my personal machine for development, and for AWS EC2 instance for Server, this has made my life easier as the community is very strong and you get help very easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Due to its customizability, his OS has allowed my team to easily control and manipulate our workflow.

There is a slight learning curve for this OS.
