Smooth research experience

  • June 27, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How Baremetal it is. It's extremely light and very customisable making it an essential in most research environments. Not to mention how open source it is. Most software run on Ubuntu too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be too Baremetal. Can't really play games on it. Requires admin log in for way too many things. Some aspects can be a bit more user friendly. Otherwise okay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open source light operating system that i can boot on a very normal and somewhat lightweight computer. Most software works based off of unix. I have also been fascinated with the inodes concept that unix uses for memory storage.

Not all applications support ubuntu. It has very limited software support.

One of the best Operating software for making pen testing labs

  • June 24, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Desktop is a very lightweight, open-source, and free operating system which makes it our number one choice for using it in our labs. Previous versions of Ubuntu are readily available for our use which makes it even more flexible and versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is a fair bit slow in comparison to other Unix-based operating systems but in our use case that has never been a huge problem.
Another noteworthy issue is the lack of hardware drivers for Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free and open-source so we don't have to worry much about software licenses and can freely share it with our clients. The whole operating system is small and lightweight which increases compatibility for our clients to use it.

Best OS for development

  • June 22, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Thing that I most like about Ubuntu is that I can install almost everything related to development on my device through the terminal. It saves a lot of time as compared to other OS where you have to manually install everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are also cons when it comes to Ubuntu OS such as you do not get a lot of apps especially when it comes to multimedia and also it does not perform very well when you run heavy apps like android studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I was using other OS like Mac or Windows the installing and importing process was very time-consuming and also the updates but when it comes to Ubuntu it outperforms everyone and does these tasks with only single command on the terminal.

Ubuntu is Great for Developers but Not for GUI users

  • June 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has more security than Windows, and it doesn't need antivirus. And we can edit Kernal for customization and use it for a secure connection to cloud servers. Booting issues are very less compared to Windows, whereas Windows is getting BSOD booting issues. Ubuntu Desktop is very useful for Developers and Server engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are using Ubuntu, you must remember many commands to run or install the packages. Ubuntu doesn't support many apps we use daily, like outlook and Microsoft products. Of course, there are other free versions like libre Office and wps but Microsoft products have more reliability for backup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure SSH connections to the Servers and Kernal customization and coding. Installation is complicated for developers using Windows, SSH, and other dependent packages. Ubuntu Desktop is Best for Developers and Coders.

One of the best OS for developers.

  • June 20, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very fast as compared to windows. It is free and open source, which means anyone can use, modify and distribute for free. Ubuntu provides long-term support releases, which are supported for an extended period. Ubuntu offers a vast software ecosystem which provides developers to set up their development environment. Ubuntu offers a powerful Command-line interface. Ubuntu is also a popular choice for containerisation and Docker-based development workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not beginner friendly for users who used to work on Windows previously. Its GUI is not that great. Many advanced features like Windows are missing. Gamers may find Ubuntu unuseful due to its limitation with certain games. Software compatibility is also an issue for some software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu brings me close to the machine, which helps me find bugs and optimise my code to run on all operating systems efficiently. Its command line interface also helped me to program efficiently.

Ubuntu is the great

  • June 19, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very nice and small size. I always carry ubuntu in a pendrive for easy access, and there is zero to no bloatware. You can fully control the process I want to run in the background and which shall not run.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing that i like about ubuntu, I don't know why most of the people are not using it instead of using windows or other operating systems. Plus there are almost no issues or bugs. If there is one bug the community comes together and fixs it quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free so when ever i am dploying any kind of server i install ubuntu in it, plus it's very lightweight so, even it can be easily installed in low speed internet

Operating system that I use for laboratory

  • June 15, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The installation process of Ubuntu server is very pleasant, this is of great value when setting up a laboratory for tests, since it speeds up the availability of the server where the tests will be carried out, whether it is a web server or another use
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say that to a large extent, the negative point would be the constant updating of the operating system, this is done by a server that cannot be used most of the time as a server for a service in production, due to the constant need to update the OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Effective alternative for carrying out test laboratories and considerably reduced the time invested in setting up servers, giving more time to technical staff to maintain themselves in testing the service for which the server was set up

Ubuntu - a open source world

  • June 15, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is open source Linux distribution. There is no need to pay for using this operation system. Huge community is there to help, if you have face any problem while using Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage is user need to some knowledge to use Ubuntu. Because it's linux. We can't install a program easily like open .exe file and next next to install in windows. We need to some basic terminology for using Linux terminal. This is the only disadvantage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu server my money. I am an administrator. There are more than 200+ computers are there our lab. If i purchase operating system like windows, or other enterprise edition, the cost more than 500$ ~ 1000$. But Ubuntu is free and open source.
