Ubuntu Linux Reviews

As we have repositories in my country, the ease of use and the open source nature of the solution are valuable features. I can now install Active Directory on it.

The documentation is very poor. It is written like a textbook.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux since 2010.

I have never had occasion to contact technical support. 

Prior to using Ubuntu Linux we made use of Windows Server. 

The installation is straightforward.

The solution is a deployed server, so it is not really a desktop machine. Deployment took 20 minutes. 

The deployment can be done on one's own. 

Deployment and maintenance only involve two people to provide administrative support. 

The solution is open source, so there is no licensing fee.

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten. 

Ubuntu is a Linux OS. The solution is primarily used for web servers and web traffic.

The solution is easy to use for developers and DevOps teams. 

The commands and user commands are very good. 

The repository and the security repository are up to date, which is great.

The product is very user-friendly.

We've found the solution to be quite stable so far.

The solution is free to use.

There is a very good open-source community surrounding the solution that can help you troubleshoot if you run into any issues. 

You need a Linux operating system to be the host of the web servers. We don't use a GUI. It's not like Windows. It's not for daily users to write documents or browsing sheets or browsing the internet.

The product could be easier to manage.

I've been using the solution for five or six years at this point.

The stability of the solution is very good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. 

The solution can scale if you need it to.

We don't really deal with technical support per see. It's a free-to-use open-source solution. The way it works is it has a community and you can submit to Ubuntu and you can get help from some of the people that lead this community. It's pretty good. You can find what you need to solve pretty much any problem you might have.

I've also used CentOS, and I would recommend Unbuntu over it.

I did not install the solution myself, however, if you decide to use the cloud you can choose it as a wizard. It's my understanding that it is pretty straightforward. 

The solution is free to use. It doesn't cost us anything. It's great that we have access without having to worry about licensing fees.

We don't use a GUI. We tend to focus on its OS layers. Therefore, we don't really deal with any dashboards.

I'd rate the solution at a perfect ten out of ten. It's been very reliable and we appreciate its capabilities overall.

I am using it for quite a lot of things. I teach at a university where we use it for radiation protection computations. On the networking side, I use it for both workstations and firewalls. I always use its latest version.

It is fast and easy to install. It also supports containers and all kinds of libraries. I can do almost everything with it. 

It can be improved in terms of user-friendliness for inexperienced users. It also has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of deployment. It is kind of hard for inexperienced users, and the learning curve is very steep. There is not really good documentation for new professionals. Even we are using network servers to install it.

I have been using this solution for 12 years. 

If it is administered properly, it is stable. If there are administration issues, they are kind of hard to resolve for inexperienced users.

It is scalable in terms of server cluster infrastructure, but the main issue with scalability is the hardware.

We have five to ten users in the enterprise. We also use it for every student. In terms of our plans to increase its usage, I don't know what the future brings because I see that Microsoft has also started to use Linux infrastructure.

I am not using the Enterprise support for Ubuntu. I am kind of used to it, and I know how to compile kernels and modules. It is no issue at all.

I started with BSD. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to install Ubuntu Linux.

I installed it myself.

I don't need to pay for the license.

I would recommend this solution based on the application. For a firewall, I would go for a dedicated device. For a desktop, it is okay to use.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a ten out of ten.

We're still in the learning phase. However, from what I have seen in the short time I've used it, it's been rather user-friendly.

The installation is pretty straightforward.

The solution has a very good graphical user interface.

After only a week of using the solution, we haven't really found any limitations or missing features. The experience has been pretty good so far.

We're very new to the solution. We're still learning about the product. It's only been a week or so, so far.

The stability, so far, has been good. We haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze on us. It's been very reliable so far.

We have about 20 users on the solution currently. However, I've mostly restricted the usage to just myself as I explore the solution. It's still early days. We haven't done any scaling.

While the solution is still new to us, we'll continue to use it so long as the solution itself proves to be useful to the company.

We haven't yet dealt with technical support in any way. Therefore, I can't speak to their level of knowledge or responsiveness.

I did previously use a different solution, however this was recommended to us by colleagues and we're trying it out.

The initial setup is not complex. It's pretty straightforward. We didn't have any issues implementing the product.

The deployment was pretty fast as well. We had it set up within an hour.

I handled the implementation myself. I didn't need the assistance of an integrator or consultant.

The solution isn't really expensive at this time. So far the version we are using goes, it is being used on the virtual machine. That was a free download.

We've just installed Ubuntu very recently. I'm just trying to see how it is right now. We have it installed on Windows 10 Pro. While we use the on-premises version, we're very interested in exploring the cloud.

I'm not sure just yet if I would recommend the product to others simply due to the fact that I've basically just started using it. I need at least a month of working on it in order to be able to tell if it works how we hope it will and if I would recommend it to others.

Right now, I would recommend the solution at a six out of ten. I need more time to really analyze it properly.

We primarily use the solution as an operating system.

The customization of the solution is its most valuable aspect.

The solution offers good documentation.

The setup is fairly easy.

The solution's pricing is overall pretty good.

Right now, the solution is working quite well for us. I can't think of a feature that is lacking.

There are some drivers that are not there encoded, however, I thought that was pretty normal. They could be more comprehensive.

I've been using the product only for about a few months at this point.

The solution is stable. It's reliable. We don't seem to have any issues with bugs and glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze

We've never tried to scale the solution. I wouldn't be able to comment on its scalability.

We have 30 to 40 people on the solution currently.

We never really contact technical support. Typically, if we face issues, we try to handle it in house by ourselves. There is pretty good documentation available, and in that sense, we're satisfied with the level of information we can find to help us navigate the solution.

The initial setup was not complex. It was quite straightforward. However, we don't use it in any complicated way.

Deployment is very fast. It only takes about an hour or so to set up.

The pricing of the solution is pretty fair.

We're on the latest version of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other users.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall.

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.

We are using Ubuntu Linux for testing some VMs.

I'm satisfied with Ubuntu Linux, but it's always good to improve on the performance of any product, including this one.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for two years now.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable system.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution.

The initial setup for this solution took two days, and it is something that can be done by yourself.

I'm not paying anything for the use of Ubuntu Linux.

I've evaluated Red Hat and Windows 10. I'm still using Windows 10, e.g. I'm using it in parallel with Ubuntu Linux.

I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. I'm satisfied with this operating system.

We have four to five users of this solution within our organization.

I have not contacted the technical support for Ubuntu Linux yet, because I currently don't have any technical issues.

I'm rating Ubuntu Linux seven out of ten.

We use the solution in the company where I work as an operating system. Whenever you are doing some serious development, you deploy this solution on a Unix platform.

The main feature of the solution is it has a command-line editor.

I find the solution could be easier to use, more flexible, user-friendly, and have a better UI.

In the future, I would like to see easier deployment.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The solution is stable.

I have previously used Microsoft Windows and still do. I use this solution for personal use and when my work requires it.

The installation is easy and only takes approximately 15 minutes, but the process could improve.

I am using the free version of the solution.

I am going to continue using the solution and would recommend it to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.
