What do you like best about the product?
10 years support from the community.
It really helps for corporate dev environment as OS is not something people like to change easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
The support of hardware drivers is still the same as the basic version.
Ubuntu works best for most of the devices but sometimes it fails to deliver drivers for some. I couldn't find anything new in Ubuntu Pro regarding that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The LTS in Pro is providing 10 years of support which is actually cool. This thing can be compared to MacOSX as developers don't like to change or tweak with the OS regularly.
I am also a developer.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even though support for codecs is present all media wont play smoothly by default, sometimes you would need to really test the things to make it actually work..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduces software costs as it is really cheap. Linux works for servers the best. Availability for specific development software is much better on Linux compared to Windows servers.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Pro LTS is designed for long-term use and is supported for up to ten years, providing users with a stable and reliable operating system. It includes many security features, including secure boot and AppArmor profiles. It also provides regular security updates and patches to keep your system safe. LTS ensures long-term developer support and ensures forward compatibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the major disadvantages of Ubuntu Pro is the limited choices of custom applications. Major design and creative software titles only exist for Windows/Mac OSs. The Linux OS also has very poor implementation of Directx/Game centric drivers which limit its ability to support the latest game titles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Ubuntu is a versatile operating system that can be used for a wide range of cloud computing applications, from virtual machines and containers to IaaS and PaaS platforms and DevOps workflows. Its flexibility, stability, and security make it an attractive option for organizations running applications and services in the cloud. Quick implementation of Virtual Machines using Ubuntu as a base image gives us access to containers by using popular container technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, and LXD. Containers provide an efficient and lightweight way to deploy and manage applications in the cloud.
