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

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!

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.

The best operating system

  • October 06, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It mimics Apple's OS in look and feel, but without all of the related issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need to have a solid understanding of filesystems and how to locate things - that was the largest barrier to entry for me. Once you develop this knowledge and learn to work a little at the command line, you're good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For digital forensics work, I use Ubuntu to run a bunch of open source software. Ubuntu definitely makes it easier to access and use these tools. I also used Ubuntu in my previous job to connect into the server in order to deposit files there for long-term storage. Ubuntu offers better security than other OSs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn some basic commands and get comfortable moving around the computer in a new way. User forums for Ubuntu are a *major* help whenever you're stuck, so just grab error messages and put them into Google and you should find a solution pretty quickly. Listservs and dedicated groups have also been a help when using specific tools - depends on your use case, but there are a lot of people in the open source community who are eager to help.

hands down the best linux distro for linux-newbies and the most user friendly linux distro available

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
its simplicity and it's easy to learn and to get used to
What do you dislike about the product?
the fact that it is constantly updated defines that ubuntu is not a stable distro (it is good for everyday use), but i'd rather use other distros such as centOS for servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu provides an open source operating system for its users to use, therefore allowing its users to change the OS based on their needs, without worrying about legal actions
