Never looked back

What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of Ubuntu. It is easy to use from the terminal and easy to use from the GUI. It runs pretty much everything I need to work (hey, even Steam have a lot of AAA games running on it now).
I even like the odd glitches that arise and the ensuing delves into stack overflow to try and fine some arcane fix for them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess the reduced availability of games is a downside (though that is changing - see comment re Steam); for the time being I will be sticking to my Windows gaming rig for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier for dev work as all our services run on Linux servers, also has less compatibility issues with a lot of dev tools when compared to Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You may have a bit of a learning curve coming from Windows. Stick with it, Ubuntu is brilliant and the community is really supportive. After a bit you will wonder why you ever though it was a challenge.

server with ubuntu

  • January 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
in a powerful system that helps very easily in operations that are necessary either for operational or laboratory practices, this system has many functions and are easy to install only if you know how to use the system, since it has many features that must be known in order to use it 100% but with the necessary study you can use all or most of the functions for your company and personally.
What do you dislike about the product?
What displeases me about this tool is its complexity because it has a very complex and very long study trajectory, but being able to have clear concepts its use becomes very useful over time. It is a tool that is very powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the last case attended with ubuntu was the configuration of a squid to use it as a transparent proxy in conjunction with a cisco router of the 2800 series and thus be able to have the history of the visited webs of each user of the company in which this configuration was made , it was very effective and the objectives were achieved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation to use this tool is to study it very well before using it, since it deserves to dedicate time to be able to have control of all the functions that this operating system has, besides its learning curve is long and should be taken very seriously if they want to achieve 100% use

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a good Linux distribution. It is quite smooth and supports many applications. Generally, I use Ubuntu for Automating the networking devices. Ubuntu is very powerful Linux distribution. I mostly use Ubuntu Operating System as a Virtual Machine and use with different softwares like GNS3 and python. User interface is really good and interactive.

There is nothing to dislike in this Operating System because, Ubuntu is very powerful Linux distribution. Some users may face problems while operating because most of the Linux distributions are difficult to understand and operate.

My first choice for servers

  • January 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy of use, it can be use for free, but if you want to pay the license, its support is a plus. I prefer Ubuntu than Red Hat because these reasons and because it is a Debian OS. I don't like RH new version because they don't work like other distros.
What do you dislike about the product?
Uhm, I think there is nothing I dislike, it's all right, it's the OS that I need, don't you?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my servers have this OS, 'cause it's easy of use, it's safe and it has a lot of documentation, so I can learn whatever I need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You don't need to pay any license, but if you do it, you have a gold support, better than RH by example. I prefer Ubuntu for LAMP servers and I can work with a lot of caches memories in Ubuntu, but I can't do it with RH because it's more dificult.

Freedom to Build

  • December 13, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I like best about Ubuntu is the freedom of choice. When installing Ubuntu, you have access to your entire hard drive. If you have a 250 gig hard drive, 249gigs are free to use. When using an OS like Windows, you have gigs that you can't access, Ubuntu gives you the entire hard drive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most frustrating things about using Ubuntu is that not all Windows programs will work in Ubuntu. There are a lot of apps you can use, but there are also a few that just simply do not work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the business problems we have solved using Unbuntu is, not having enough space on our computers to store data. Ubuntu allows full access to your entire hard drive, which allows more storage, which eliminates the need to carry around external hard drives. data is at our finger tips
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great OS for high level IT persons but a bit too complicated for the normal daily user

Easy to use and free alternative to commercial business software

  • November 05, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am always surprised by the fact why not more companies use Ubuntu as their business software as it is surprisingly easy to use, secure and most importantly it’s free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don’t dislike anything about Ubuntu
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For no money you get an operation system that gives you a good package of basic software that you need; a huge collection of software that you can download in the software centre and you are free to use or change these programmes however you see fit for the purpose of your business
