Robust but lacking incentive

  • November 13, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu server is robust and dependable. Our team never has to worry about a system update breaking our deployment. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, also provides support in case something does go wrong. That lifeline is essential for our business operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is essentially Debian with extra steps. There are no major features that Ubuntu on the server side provides, but does have some caveats, notably the inclusion of "Snap" packages. Snap packages are meant to be helpful, but can often conflict with non-Snap packages if not careful. Their inclusion should be an explicit opt-in by the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team needed an operating system to deploy our applications on, from payroll to in-house technology solutions. Ubuntu server has been excellent at its job, providing a stable platform. It runs many applications such as Docker, Portainer, and NGINX flawlessly. This reliability allows us to dedicate our resources to other matters.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a developer, it really makes things easier to install libraries. As a person with some cybersecurity knowledge, it's great to know that I'm not being tracked while using the OS and my privacy is valued.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes few softwares aren't available for Ubuntu. But they are fairly new ones and have less market share. Also it has to do a lot with terminal. So, if you don't like working with the terminal then Ubuntu is not for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu helps with installing and managing libraries easily.
