Ubuntu Linux Reviews

The package manager is easy to use & the OS supports a lot of hardware that enabled us to bring back to life old equipment and do more with less. Its ability to manage thousands of servers seamlessly using Landscape reduces the TCO by a huge margin.

We have developed an internal Document Management System around Ubuntu and MySQL, which came at no extra cost and our efficiency has improved dramatically. We now scan and save all our documents and correspondence.

As a product, I can't think of anything much because we are yet to fully utilize the product and it has met all our expectations. The technical training is the one that needs to be updated regularly and also engagement of more technical training partners.

No.

No.

The Ubuntu paid support is probably second to none because we have never needed it. The community support is so engaging and world class such that we have never really needed any enterprise support.

Yes. We had RHEL servers and we took all of them out because of the TCO and the package manager which was a nightmare. A standard Ubuntu server is three times or more faster than RHEL server in booting up.

The initial setup was smooth and self explanatory with an option to go through a standard setup or an advanced one.

Ubuntu Enterprise solution is the best route to pursue for SME. We recommend the standard SLA for 10*5 phone.

RHEL and SUSE Linux.

If you are going to implement this platform then you must run a new installation rather than upgrade any other distro's. This is to avoid garbage in and garbage out.

I use Ubuntu Linux just for testing, e.g. as a workstation. I also use it for running some applications.

Ubuntu Linux is user-friendly. Patching and patch management for the system is also good.

The system is already user-friendly, but what could be improved is its ease of deployment. Its ease of use could also be improved.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for more than five years.

From a stability perspective, Ubuntu Linux is quite stable. This is the reason I'm using it at home, e.g. for the lab. When I deploy it, it's quite stable, and I don't need to do anything else.

The initial setup for Ubuntu Linux was straightforward.

I implemented the system myself, and it took me less than an hour to deploy it.

The Ubuntu Linux version that I use is free. I just download it, install it on a VM, and that's it. It's because I don't require any support, so I don't need to pay.

I evaluated RedHat and Debian.

I have a personal experience with Ubuntu Linux in virtual machines.

The system can be deployed on-premises or on cloud, and this will depend on the testing required. We usually use the latest version of Ubuntu Linux.

I'm not using the system in a production environment, so its scalability is not something I care about.

I have not contacted technical support for Ubuntu Linux. I fix any issues myself, e.g. I go to their website and find the answers online.

I can certainly recommend Ubuntu Linux to other people who may want to start using it.

I'm rating Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

Ubuntu Linux is an operating system and we use it for day-to-day operations.

Ubuntu Linux could improve by having more out-of-the-box functionality for common plug-and-play devices, such as printers. It's sometimes more difficult to plug-and-play printers with Ubuntu Linux. You need to work a bit and make some drivers work. They need to work a bit on plug-and-play devices.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for approximately a few years.

The solution is scalable, it is open-source, and can be developed. You are able to install it on many different systems.

I have used Debian and Microsoft Windows previously.

The installation of the Ubuntu Linux tool is approximately 10 minutes.

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

I am very satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I would recommend it to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I use this solution for running our personal applications and our day-to-day personal use. We install it on our laptops.

We can easily customize the NTS Client code.

We can customize the code ourselves.

Reducing the UA would be very helpful to reduce resource consumption. They need a less resource pack option. Currently, I am using the standard one.

The user interface could be improved.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three years.

We were using the latest version.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable operating system.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution.

I have not contacted technical support.

Previously, I was using Windows 7.

The installation was easy. It only takes 15 minutes.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use the help of an integrator or consultant.

There are no licensing fees, it's an open-source solution.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I am using it for my personal use on my personal laptop.

It is scalable. I can customize it based on what I want to do.

They can make it user-friendly. It is not totally user-friendly.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for the last eight years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

I never needed support for Ubuntu.

I used to work on Kali Linux and Windows.

I am using the free version. There is no subscription.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Ubuntu Linux a seven out of 10.

The primary use case for Ubuntu is as a Linux operating system.  

The security features are what I find most valuable. It is very secure by default.  

I think that the Ubuntu user interface should be improved. It could be simplified. We have not seen any real improvement in the last kernel, which we expected to happen with the latest release.  

But the user interface should be improved because it is not very user-friendly.  

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for five years.  

The product is stable. We do not have problems with downtime.  

We have hundreds of people using the solution and we do not see a problem with scalability. Most of these people are end-users. I think six of those people are administrators to help to maintain the product.  

The technical support is okay. We do not have to get in touch with them often but when you need them the support is there.  

I think that the initial setup was easy.  

It is not very expensive.  

I definitely recommend Linux Ubuntu. It is a good solution.   

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst andten is the best, I would rate the product as an eight-out-of-ten.  

I used it before on my laptop, and I was quite happy with it. I had to change back to Windows 8 when we got a new product which is not supported by Linux. To show our product to our customers, I had to go back to Windows. 

I still have an older laptop which is using the Ubuntu version on it. I am still quite happy with it. I have not had so many compatibility problems between Ubuntu and Windows as I have had with Mac.

Our biggest issue is cybersecurity. In 2013, we decided to protect our network with a Linux server. If there is a virus going into the network, it has to pass through an Ubuntu server, which can't be infected by the virus. So, there are less viruses on our systems.

Linux is more stable than Windows. 

An easier to configure firewall would be a good add-on. 

I would like some antiviruses, since what you get on the market is not much. However, if you want to protect your network, there should be an easier way to configure security software since sometimes it can be very difficult.

It is very stable. Previously, I never had a problem. 

Though, I have a problem now. I tried to install Microsoft SQL Server on a new Ubuntu machine, and it is not working at 100 percent. This is following Microsoft's install instructions, not Ubuntu's.

I had a customer who was using NGINX running on Ubuntu servers in three different data centers. After getting more servers behind these NGINX Ubuntu servers, we had to resize everything. This was easily done in a very short amount of time, and we were able to expand the capacity too.

I have never used the technical support.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. Sometimes, I have to read a little bit. I have quite a big eBook with how to's, which I wrote myself. 

It is very cheap. It didn't cost anything to download a Ubuntu server version and install it on an already existing Dell server.

Cisco or Juniper.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: sales support.

Because they are cheap and they do not charge me for traffic.

I need to upload a very large amount of data do Google Servers and Digital Ocean doesn´t charge me for traffic like Amazon does. This was the best option.

Compare it to Amazon AWS and you will see how much they can grow. Every company wants to grow as much as possible, or even more than AWS. So compare Digital Ocean with AWS and you will see how much they can grow. I don´t mind using AWS anymore and I think that what Digital Ocean offers me is enough.

I believe we have been using it for a year.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

I didn´t have to ask for technical support. Their documentation solved my problems.

We used Google Compute Cloud, and we switched because Digital Ocean is cheaper.

The initial setup was straightforward. They require very little information in order to start your droplet.

If you need a cheap server, this is the way you should go.

We evaluated Google Cloud Compute and Amazon AWS.

It works like the others, but it seems cheaper. If you´re looking for a robust implementation, then go with AWS.
