Ubuntu is amazing

  • October 17, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I typically use the server version of Ubuntu, however I have also used the desktop version. Ubuntu is the industry leader in "common" Linux. It has the most support for the apps that are developed for the Linux world as well as a great user base and forum.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I don't agree with the release cycles for Ubuntu. Having the LTS branch does help, however if you require functionality from a non-LTS branch it can be difficult to get those features/fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu primarily for docker containers and so far it has worked amazingly well.

Review for Ubuntu

  • October 15, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Customizability, ease of installation of packages, community support
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be hard to troubleshoot issues sometimes out of the box - usually requires additional setup to be able to properly diagnose. Open source also means if you're the first one to have a particular problem that there might not be support. Huge shift coming from windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use for most linux servers which are the preferred server we use now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Research the solutions you want to implement using Ubuntu and make sure they have good community support or even paid support (just in case!). Ubuntu has been a great linux platform for us.

Great System for Everyday, Development and Media

  • October 12, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are so many aspects of Ubuntu that shine. In comparison to other Linux distributions, Ubuntu has always done a good job at driver detection, having a nice library of applications installed and customization while being very easy to install.

My favorite feature is APT-GET or the Apptitude package management system which allows for easy installs, updates and good system maintenance.

I enjoy the many flavors of Ubuntu- if you want to use different windows systems like KDE, Gnome, XFCE it is VERY easy. Lately, the additions of drive encryption, migrations from other systems and backup have made the system even more robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to more easily use proprietary sources and drivers. I believe this has been made easier over the years, but I don't believe this is OOB functionality yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has been a go-to system for development, LAMP server (HTTP Deployments/Apps) and browsing the web. You get all the benefits such as "easy to use' while remaining very secure. This is also a good system to use to prolong life out of older hardware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please try to remain active on the forums of Ubuntu.com and help the community when it comes to debugging newer hardware.

Not only has the community helped me troubleshoot issues, but I have also done my best to contribute newer hardware for different patching.

I have not used Ubuntu services aside from what is freely available and that has been above average.

Use package installers whenevr possible.

Great OS for work and Personal use

  • October 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the bare bones aspect of this operating system. It does not have all the other junk software that is not needed. Also the ease of access tool being on the side is helpful for fast use. The names are always interesting like most Linux based OS's. As well I use Ubuntu at home for when i build systems to be able to easier setup everything Vs windows OS. Over all i strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoy Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
some features would be nice to make commands easier to run as another user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact of the sheer size of the OS shaves allot of time off over all installation and setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check into the specific version they offer to meet your specific needs.

Good OS

  • October 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well to be brutally honest, it is not the best in OSs, but still it manages to be the best in Open source OSs. The OS is comparable to MacOS or Windows in user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs and a the UI. There should be good bug fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's open source and hence it's free. No need to pay extra for software!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well the OS is really good

My experience with Ubuntu

  • October 09, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's fast, simple, Robust and it is free
What do you dislike about the product?
Little to no hardware support.The installation process is daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for coding (Java). NetBeans was run on it. The speed when compared to MS products and the reliability, quick startup, the simple interface were the positives. To the point simply put.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to do things by yourself (with help from Google)! Little to no support and not popular with common users. The initial few days of my experience with Ubuntu was full of trying to learn the basic stuff. One needs some time getting into the groove. Google was my only savior as most people go with the MS products. Once I got a grip on it, it was really an amazing experience. Definitely, has its advantages though, which is vast!

Very good to use and best of all, free!

  • October 06, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like most that it is a free and easy to set up. Definitely a great value!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I didn't like is sometimes it can be confusing which version of Ubuntu you want to download programs for. There is different Linux versions so you have to be careful with that one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Ubuntu for our cloud server and for our API. It was super easy to configure for the cloud server and actually compared to CentOS it was a piece of cake to use with Owncloud and Nextcloud.
