What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is super easy to use even for those new to Linux. It also gives the user tons of power to customize their experience.

Availability of software. I'm still stuck to using Windows for certain pieces of software, unless I want to use a solution such as WINE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development and server administration.
Ubuntu: A solid Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a fan of Linux ever since I was first introduced to it. The granularity and diverse structure allows for one of the most complete customizations of an operating system that I have ever seen.
What do you dislike about the product?
To truly utilize any Linux distribution you have to be very experienced with the Linux operating system environment. You will have to spend a good bit of time configuring the system to get it optimized to your use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes for a great base operating system for a number of monitoring hooks, acts as a wonderfully stable web server platform, and just about any other service that does not specifically require Windows or OSX.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't used a Linux distribution before, be prepared for some complexity.
Ubuntu for Web Server Use
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to install and has done a great job of both releasing bi-annual version updates as well as Long Term Support (LTS) versions. They keep the software patched and up to date and that has been a huge feature for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have much to comment on that I dislike. I've been using Ubuntu for so many years, I don't remember when we even started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've utilized Ubuntu for the Apache Web Server and PHP software platform. It has served us very well and provided a stable platform for our web server hosting both for internal and external projects. Due to the way they maintain the product it has also decreased our support load for patching and updates. We've been able to lean o
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu has been a great platform. They are continually improving and updating the system. The security fixes and update management have been huge for us and I would certainly recommend this product to others. While almost everyone in our organization uses the services provided by the underlying platform they do not realize it and the gains impact our IT department the most.

What do you dislike about the product?
Mounting a smb or shared drive is not always easy.
When I use it on windows subsystem for linux, then I get permissions issue. Though I set proper user permission on Ubuntu, drives which are shared still use the windows permissions, instead of the changed permissions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very stable. It creates a eco-system for us by providing php-apache-postgres package as a bundle.
Ubuntu has good support for Salt. Because of this deployment of our applications becomes very easy.
Thats the reason we love Ubuntu bundle for our development environment and production environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used Ubuntu as we get a Vagrant support for it.
It makes our development environment as close to production environment as possible.
Always use the native stable packages with Ubuntu. It would make your system scale - able and easy upgrade - able when newer versions of Ubuntu are released.
If you use Ubuntu on your development, staging and production environment, then it becomes easy to manage your enterprise deployment thru continuous integrations tools like Jenkins.

Ubuntu is winning desktop and server positions
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature Ubuntu has to offer is the wide availability of installable packages. Right behind that is the project’s commitment to long term support on certain releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is littl to dislike about Ubuntu, however the lack of a hardened setup option for common configurations is disappointing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run Ubuntu for many different projects. I run a website for my wife on it, and sandbox servers for my company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Running linux is a fantastic way to reduce cost, but only if you have the technical expertise to be your own support. Consider all the costs, but then do it because all the cool kids are doing it. :)

A Versatile Linux Distribution with a Beautiful User Interface and a Robust Framework
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has the best online community, documentation and resources hands down. As an average user, if you run into an issue, you are almost always a Google search away from the solution. Even as an advanced user or a developer, you will find plenty of resources online regarding your specific issue. Ubuntu gives you the best of both worlds, by providing an elegant and functional user interfaced, backed by the robustness and versatility of Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu generally has the most comprehensive bundle of drivers, occasionally you may find that there is no built-in driver for your specific hardware, which means you have to resort to the community for support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu as a fully featured Linux platform for software development. When it comes to developing software, no other platform is as complete as Ubuntu. Additionally, I can always utilize the beautiful user interface for everyday tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure your specific hardware platform supports Ubuntu, and what version. For instance while you may be able to install Ubuntu on some versions of ARM, the OS may not recognize peripherals or you may run into issues.

The best Linux distribution for software development
What do you like best about the product?
16.04 with Unity is rock solid. There's amazing virtual desktop support, the UI stays out of your way, it runs on a ton of hardware. And it's great for debugging or using web browsing. Or simply anything. It's great.

They dropped Unity, and Gnome isn't a great replacement just yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software Development
Easy to use windows replacement.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a great windows replacement for smb's or even personal use. I have a 93 year old grandmother using it because her computer broke and was on a budget. Its super stable when you use the LTS versions and you have the piece of mind knowing that your FREE OS is going to get support for years to come.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve that a lot of people will not want to do because they are so used to a windows environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software is something that is used when I have someone that comes to me with a tight budget but needs a new computer The cost is an amazing thing for people that allows them to do most if not all functions that they could on a windows machine for no cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a small learning curve and some people may not be willing to adapt to it.
