Ubuntu Linux Reviews

I built some application servers on it, like Wi-Fi. I also use it for configurations of servers. 

I like that it is free. 

There's ample documentation available for most features, and I find it straightforward to use.

Stability could be improved.

I have been using it for several years. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

I don't need the scalability aspect. 

There are around 10 end users using this product in our company. There are around 40 servers of Ubuntu servers in my company.

We don't need the support. We can easily find answers on the internet. 

The initial setup is not complex. 

I usually can do it by myself. For the deployment process, I created some virtual machines because I usually use some virtual machines for my servers. After that, I downloaded the appropriate image of Ubuntu and deployed it.

It's free. I haven't paid for a license. And we can manage all our servers by ourselves.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. I would recommend using the product. 

I use the solution because my Sophos Anti-Virus is installed in it.

I like the stability of the solution. The resources are not huge compared to Windows. The solution is user-friendly.

The product should provide more automation. If automation is available, we wouldn’t have to do manual configurations and setups.

I have been using the solution for one year. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I'm using the solution for demonstration purposes for my customer. They have 500 workstations.

I deployed the product myself.

I use Windows, too.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes about 30 minutes. The deployment process is similar to Windows.

I refer to Google and other forums to find solutions to my problems. If someone is using Linux servers, they can use Ubuntu. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We primarily use Ubuntu to run and manage our monitoring solutions and applications. 

This solution is deployed on-premises. 

One of the most valuable features of Ubuntu Linux is how easy it is to manage. We have some monitoring solutions, so those applications are running on top of Ubuntu. So far, the applications are running in a way that's very stable, compared to other Linux versions and flavors. In terms of redundancy and the command line, it's very easy to manage. 

Ubuntu could be improved with more container integration and orchestration of those containers. We are looking to have more cloud-based solutions, like Docker, and container-based solutions, or Kubernetes-based solutions integrated with Ubuntu. Instead of going for VMs, we would like to have more container-based solutions on top of Ubuntu. 

We have been using Ubuntu for maybe four to five years. 

Ubuntu Linux is very stable, compared to other Linux versions. We are satisfied with the performance. 

We have five support engineers to maintain this solution. 

This solution is scalable. 

There are less than 20 end users of Ubuntu Linux in our organization. We don't have plans for expansion right now because we already have our requirements met, in terms of capacity. 

We haven't contacted technical support recently, but I think we did in the beginning. It was good. 

We switched to using Ubuntu Linux because it comes with a lot of new features. They are coming out with new releases and a lot of integrations. We have seen most of the applications work very well on top of Ubuntu, so we thought it was a good solution to go ahead with. 

The installation was very easy, not complex at all. We could manage it alone and we didn't have any issues. It took less than 30 minutes. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten, and I would recommend it to others. 

The solution provides digital use for end users. I'm the director of the company and we are customers of Ubuntu. 

Ubuntu has better security and better production in comparison to Microsoft Windows and the hardware performance is better than Microsoft. The best feature of the solution is the auto upgrade operating system we get as a support from Ubuntu. The solution is good on the support level in several aspects; the web server, database management, security management, and viral management. Ubuntu is great on all of these.

The product currently lacks interoperability with other operating systems like Windows. This means that it's not possible to integrate with some of the popular Windows applications  such as accounting, tax, financial accounting and bracket improvement. I'd also like to see a lighter version of this solution. 

I've been using this solution for 15 years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We are a 15-person team using the product but we have deployed for organizations which have 100+ users. We use a three or four person engineering team for deployment. We plan to increase usage of this product. 

We have hardly needed to contact technical support. The solution has good documentation and a community forum for support.

I've been using Red Hat and CentOS but I'm not comfortable with the operating system. With Ubuntu it was a lot quicker to get better security features or updated versions. 

Initial setup is very straightforward. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes. I carried out the deployment myself. 

We haven't gone for a support subscription. Ubuntu is very reasonably priced for anyone looking to use it. 

I would recommend Ubuntu in preference to Red Hat which has shifted to a very advanced engineering team. Ubuntu is for anyone who wants to start out. It's best to use it on the desktop and server. It's one of the reasons providers like Google and Amazon are giving reviews based on Ubuntu.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use Ubuntu Linux for software development to create a desktop environment for our developers, and we also have some VMs running Ubuntu-based services. 

Ubuntu is great because you get most of the packages or software you need. You get the latest updates and stuff fairly fast. 

We don't have any support, so we search for answers online. However, it can sometimes be a little messy to find the information if you have a highly specific question or a strange problem. It would be nice if finding information were a little simpler. Maybe they could have some portal that could point you to where you can find information. I think that's more of a general issue with open-source stuff. That's how it works.

We've been using Ubuntu for three or four years.

For desktop usage, we find Ubuntu is quite stable. We seldom have a problem with it even running on laptops. I think it's one of the better Linux distributions for running on laptops, and it supports various kinds of laptop hardware. 

We don't have any paid support. We use open-source knowledge bases or forums. We're used to that, so that works fine actually. We haven't tried any professional services for support because we manage the clients ourselves.

We use different Linux distributions depending on our needs. Ubuntu is good for our desktop workstations, but Red Hat is server based, and it's more stable over time, so we use that on the server for backend stuff. It depends on where it's going to run. We use Ubuntu for workstations and Red Hat or CentOS on the server side.

Ubuntu might have some room for improvement on the server side. But then again, we haven't used it much for that use case, so I don't know. It's easier for me to say what Red Hat or CentOS are missing on the desktop side. Nothing comes to mind that Ubuntu is missing in terms of desktop deployments. 

Setting up Ubuntu is fairly simple. It's just a workstation, so that's a relatively straightforward setup. 

We have special workstations with Ubuntu preloaded because it was the best for artificial intelligence within the hardware. We got the whole system, including the hardware, software, and setup. We have support with the total package, but that's the only thing we have to pay for, and we haven't needed to use that support. In general, we don't have any license costs for Linux systems. Some of the Red Hat systems have license costs, but most are open-source or free versions.

I would rate Ubuntu eight out of 10.

Ubuntu Linux is primarily used for applications. 

We use phpMyAdmin and an ISO Index, both of which run on Ubuntu Linux.

In Ubuntu, we use both the application and the storage. Those are the features we use frequently. We also use process management, which is how the process runs over the Ubuntu for the applications, which we review. If there is an issue with the processing, we will then troubleshoot and make it live.

The security features need improvement. They need more security features.

More security features are needed to protect the current file system to prevent attacks.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for seven years.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution. It is stable enough.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable product.

We are working with medium-sized businesses. 

This solution is not used by everyone; only a few developers will use Ubuntu to deploy the code and make the application live.

I am satisfied with the technical support. I use technical support when I have issues, and they help with that.

The initial setup is very easy.

Ubuntu Linux is an open-source product. It's not expensive.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is thinking about using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

The solution is very lightweight and extremely powerful. You can do almost anything you want to do with these systems. You don't have any limitations. For example, for Windows, there's a limitation where you can't run microservices with Docker.

Docker only runs on Linux as it is actually using the Linux channel. If Microsoft can make the Linux Subsystem for Windows run Docker it would be good. Docker and microservices are the future of everything we are doing. Using Docker and microservices is the best - and it works well on Ubuntu.

For the moment, Ubuntu actually it's installing its own philosophy which according to me is so good.

The solution is always adding more features. 

The solution has great functionality and it's easier to use than Oracle or Windows.

Occasionally, we have problems with stability. They prefer functionalities over stability sometimes compared to Debian. For Debian, they prefer stability over functionalities - they don't make a run on new technologies. They stabilize, they implement the most stable versions that they can. 

Depending on the stability you require on your server, you might prefer going for Debian over Ubuntu. If it is implemented in servers where stability is not really a big deal then you go with Ubuntu as you likely need new features. 

We find that the stability isn't that great. They have opted to keep adding new features and functionalities, and due to the fact that it's always evolving, it's not as stable as a solution that is pretty static.

I use Debian as well. I prefer Debian, however, I also like Ubuntu. Ubuntu is like Debian. Ubuntu is from Debian. I'm also familiar with the Windows Server, and I find that Unbuntu is more flexible and has more potential in terms of how we need to use it. 

We currently use the open-source version of the product.

We do a lot of configurations for the community. We don't have a partnership with Canonical. We use the open-source solution.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very satisfied with the solution's capabilities. Compared to Windows, it's very good.

We use Ubuntu Linux as an operating system for the installations we do on any of the servers. It's an open-source solution that is easy to customize.

Ubuntu Linux has good security features and a lot of software compatibility. Not many operating systems support software like MicroStrategy, but Ubuntu Linux is quite flexible and provides all the interfaces and compatibility for different software.

Ubuntu Linux is not easy to use because its interface is quite tricky. People with a Windows background may not find the solution's user interface user-friendly.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three years.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution. Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.

We were previously using Windows. We switched to Ubuntu Linux because it was flexible and secure.

The solution's initial installation is difficult, and you would need a Linux administrator.

Ubuntu Linux is an open-source operating system.

We are using the cloud version of Ubuntu Linux. Users can choose Ubuntu Linux if they have a vast environment and want a secure and scalable operating system.

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.
