We can use the solution for browsing. We can also use it as a server and deploy and configure it as a file or web server. The use case depends on the user. I use it to deploy something which I want to test out. If I have to test out ELK Stack, I might use Ubuntu because it’s free.

The best server and Live OS
What do you like best about the product?
extremily easy to use, the command line happens to be intuitive and most of all it's based on Debian, because of this gets enormous software support, also the fact that it is developed by Canonical probably helps with driver support by third parties (since they likely advertise it)
also for prouduction use you can pay canonical for help in case you need it.

What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes is a bit of an overkill so I choose to switch to alpine linux, probably is not as good as redhat in some instances but still pretty good for most of my use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu comes is very useful as a recovery tool among with it's dedicated variants, also I found it to be the best one to be used as server side operative system (though it's actually the only one which I am used to along with alpine linux)

What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The GUI is user-friendly.
What needs improvement?
The solution must provide more integrations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution from time to time whenever I require it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am using the solution for my personal needs. It is possible to increase the number of users depending on who uses it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Windows. I use Ubuntu only for testing purposes. Some things can only be tested on Linux.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to deploy the OS. The product can be used on the cloud as well. However, I have deployed it on my own laptop.
What about the implementation team?
I deployed the solution myself. We have to follow the standard OS deployment process to deploy the tool. We do not need any consultation. We might need a live CD, or we can download the image from the Internet. We can boot from the USB and just follow the instructions. It will be deployed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no licensing cost for the product.
What other advice do I have?
Ubuntu improves its products every year. Earlier, the GUI was not good, so Ubuntu improved it. They have removed the complexity of the software. My recommendation depends on people’s use cases. If someone wants to test something that is more stable on Ubuntu, they can use the solution. They can use other Linux flavors like Red Hat, too. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Free open-source server
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu server is a free opensource server for needs. Its Package management tool API(Advance package tool) helps users to install, manage and update software utilities. I feel i am using a secure server as it is provided by ubuntu and its gets frequent security updates.
Other best things, that I like about US is that it has easy to use interface, it supports wide range of applications
Hosting large scale applications are a piece of cake for US, orchestration of services is very quick via US. I also used docker containers to run appliactions, its easier to debug details related to memory, performance overload via commands very easily.
