Excellent!

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy for a computer science student like me to do all projects on Ubuntu. This is mainly because any installments required on Ubuntu (especially 14.04) is very easily guided by several blogs online. Also, "howtoubuntu.org" is very well documented and is usually very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is quite satisfying for the kind of work I use it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Various Computer Science Projects - Web Development, Computer Networks, Machine Learning, Image Processing, etc. The benefits mainly are that Ubuntu 14.04 is very popular and hence, almost all queries related to it are resolved very easily via online documentations.

    Internet

An essential operating system.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very lightweight. Installation of softwares using Sofware management Center is very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no "Format" option in the right click of the USB drives. A "Format" feature is essential for lots and lots of people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it as my daily operating system. I also use it for hosting my websites. It is very straightforward to setup nginx, etc. and it makes a lot of sense to keep the operating system footprint small when hosting websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be limited to the way Windows or MacOS works. Think of what you have to get done, and then look at how that gets done in Ubuntu. Don't be limited to the way you accomplish the same thing in Windows or MacOS. You will get the hang of it sooner than you realise, and you will be surprised by the ease of use.

What do you like best about the product?
With Ubuntu you can literally do anything you can imagine with close to zero cost. I strongly believe that it is the most powerful OS out there
What do you dislike about the product?
The simplest thing requires exceptional IT knowledge. For a non IT user it can be hard if something is not working as it should.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normal OS use. Internet browsing, office applications etc. You can do anything as any other OS but with close to zero cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a fast, reliable and free solution, go for it

Easy to use, complete linux experiences.

  • May 09, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
The unity interface that simple and easy to use, the complete linux experience based on Debian platform, and long term support from canonical.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unity interface is performance taxing, there's a lot of privacy issues going on with the latest ubuntu release by bundling some ads like Amazon search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If the business are running linux in general, Ubuntu could be the gateway for some new users that isn't familiar with linux ecosystem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the multiple flavor of Ubuntu distros before deciding on which to implement., there's a lot to choose from the basic flavor to ultra lightweight one such as Lubuntu.

A server OS with a little "human" in it

  • April 18, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Ubuntu has become the de-facto standard for all kinds of documentations means the community support is fantastic.
There are also a huge library of well maintained PPA repositories that help you set up any kind of system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bundled commercial tools and software by Canonical can be at times annoying and hard to remove.
There have also been some major bugs in things like GRUB etc that are unacceptable for enterprise level usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting a stable and reliable operating system where we don't need to manually compile anything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the different forums and searching for Ubuntu specific tutorials and instructions. You'll realize how huge the community really is.
