Ubuntu Linux Reviews

We are using this solution for one of our projects where it requires an open-source toolchain for web application development.

The tools we are using for this project are compatible with this solution.

I have been using this solution for a couple of months.

The solution could be more stable.

We use and have previously used Windows 10 which is a lot better.

The installation does not take too much time to complete. It took approximately three hours.

We used help from an expert engineer to do the implementation. 

We do not like this solution and we are only using it because the project we are working on demands it. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a five out of ten.

I provide products for my customers. There are no limits to this solution.

Customers can use it for almost all applications and they can use it for their own systems.

Once you are used to it, it is quite flexible. It is more powerful because you have more control over it.

It's not as easy to use as Windows by Microsoft. It could be easier to use.

I have been providing this solution to my customers for a few years.

It is stable to an extent. Microsoft and Apple are more stable.

The stability definitely can be improved. When we are implementing patches and new releases, it tends to fail.

We have one customer using Ubuntu.

We will continue to provide this solution for our customers.

There is a lot of support available on the internet. Getting solutions is not difficult.

People tend to use Google to try to solve the problem they may be having.

The initial setup can be complex. The installation could be simplified.

It can take a couple of hours to implement.

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

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It is used for everything. We use it for our mail server and cloud solution server. You can also use it as an Active Directory (AD) Server instead of a Windows Server.

It is stable and modern.

It should be easier and lighter. I am more experienced in working with CentOS, and I find CentOS much easier to use than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is more complicated than CentOS. Ubuntu is also heavier for hardware than centOS.

I have been using this solution for several years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. Its usage is being increased all the time.

I have never used their support. I am technical support.

I only use the server version.

It is open source.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Ubuntu Linux a seven out of ten.

We pretty much use it to run everything that we have at the moment.

For us, OpenStack is awesome. We want something that will be much simpler than a broad and complicated solution.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say management and storage. Mostly, the storage mechanism. There have been some subsequent versions that have improved on this. But I'm talking about the version that we are currently running. We are aware that there have been some subsequent versions that have addressed this challenge.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux between six and 10 years, and I joined the company about three years ago.

In terms of stability, it has been very stable.

Because the version we are running is the community version, we are on our own. We rely on information available in the community to address support cases. I heard that there was going to be some training at some point. For now, we pretty much manage it by ourselves. But we've not really had any cause for support. Because of how very broad the solution is, you need some substantial budgets to be able to manage it.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight.

Off the top of my head, I would advise to check out the management of the storage.

Also, the UI can always be improved.

It's a very stable and very popular solution.

If I run an application, I need it to show up in Microsoft, so Microsoft can run in Ubuntu. It needs to connect better with Microsoft products.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable. We have 10 users at the moment. We plan to increase usage.

I don't have any experience with technical support. I have experience with Linux, so I am okay.

We've only ever used Microsoft products. But Microsoft is very expensive, and the system is complicated.

The initial setup is simple.

We had a consultant assist in the implementation. We need 15 people for deployment and maintenance.

I would advise using the solution because it's a very stable system and very fast and you are charged no money for using them.

My number one choice, for the work I do, is Red Hat, but it's very expensive. Number two is Ubuntu, which works for small systems and has good value.

I think that Ubuntu offers more than Microsoft. Microsoft is no good. There are lots of versions of Windows, but many errors and there's no stable system.

I would rate this solution 2 out of 10.

I am using it for the desktop system. I have its latest version.

It is stable and quite easy to use as compared to other Linux operating systems. They have created a system like Windows. It is simple and without any problems.

When you upgrade the core of this operating system, it can crash. This is the only problem I had. It needs more stable upgrades. 

I have been using this solution for a few years.

For desktop, we don't need it to be scalable. Currently, it is for personal use, and there is only one user.

I have not used their technical support. Ubuntu probably has a lot of documents, but I never had to read something about it. I have used CentOS for dozens of years, so Ubuntu seems simple to me.

We use CentOS for our web servers. 

It is very simple. It took less than half an hour.

Usually, I do it by myself, and it is very simple.

It is free.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux for other users who want to start using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 out of 10.

The Ubuntu LTS server is very stable. I use Ubuntu on most of my servers and I'm very pleased.

Updates on packages are the main reason that I use the Ubuntu server. With this tool, my servers are up-to-date and secured. It is easy to use. The Ubuntu server is good for new admins. We use it for HAProxy load balancers, to database, and web servers with high availability.

I think it should only be for the desktop. Maybe it is good idea to say goodbye to Unity and say hello again to Gnome.

I have been using Ubuntu for five or six years. I use it mostly on web servers.

It is very stable. For all those years, I never had any problems.

I've never used technical support. I use askubuntu.com which is free and it is great!

I used SlackWare, then Debian. My most important servers are still using Debian, but the other ones are Ubuntu servers.

The setup was straightforward. It is pretty easy to use for beginners to advanced admins.

Use Linux. It is free!

We did not evaluate other options.

Ubuntu is a very stable Linux. I highly recommend it.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that Linux has cost-effective licenses.

If they had GUI features similar to that in Windows, it would be good.

The biggest problem we are facing with Ubuntu is that we cannot have group policies and Active Directories. The Windows Active Directory is a more granular level where you can deploy the group policies, which we don't see in Ubuntu.

I would like to see the group policies and the GUI improved in the next release.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for eight years.

Ubuntu is stable but when you running with 1,000 people or more, you have to go with a high-speed directory, and we don't have the same control thatwe have with Windows.

Ubuntu pricing is reasonable.

We moved to Linux for financial obligations.

Ubuntu Linux is good as long as you have a good resource to manage it. For us, it's really good.

I would rate this product a seven out of ten.
