Secure platform has boosted daily operations, supported AI work, and improved customer trust
What is our primary use case?
In my day-to-day work, I collect customer data and different reports for telecom organizations using Ubuntu Linux only. I troubleshoot customer nodes via Ubuntu Linux exclusively because all customer nodes are on Linux servers with different virtual versions that are all controlled by Ubuntu Linux. Since this is a daily part of my work, it has become one of the key roles in my daily responsibilities.
Recently, Ubuntu Linux has played a key role in AI/ML use cases, IoT device management, and daily tasks that came from desktop computing. These are now being used in day-to-day use cases. Application development setup is also being done from Ubuntu Linux only. Millions of websites and cloud applications like OpenStack and AWS are also becoming more stable from a security perspective, and all are being handled by Ubuntu Linux.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Ubuntu Linux are that it is user-friendly and simply accessible. The built-in firewall, which is UFW, encryption, full disk or folder encryption, regular security updates, and Secure Boot for IoT are also significant advantages. Additionally, it is open-source and completely free to use. Ubuntu Linux is optimized for speed and efficient on older hardware with lightweight components.
Ubuntu Linux has impacted my organization by providing a cost-effective, secure, and highly flexible platform. It is widely used across servers, cloud environments, and developer workstations. It helps my organization reduce operational costs, enhance security, and boost developer productivity.
In the last year, approximately twenty percent sales increased after using Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu Linux has a robust security model with the built-in firewall UFW that I mentioned earlier. Regular automatic security updates and the permission system make it highly resistant to malware and viruses. These features attracted customers, and they believed in the security provided, which significantly increased our sales.
What needs improvement?
Ubuntu Linux should select the fastest mirror for software updates in the software and update settings. It should also consider enabling the pro methods for enhanced security and maintenance.
I would suggest disabling unnecessary applications from launching at boot using tools like GNOME to free RAM and CPU. Ubuntu Linux can regularly run auto clean to clear all cache. Preload installation can be done, which will help applications launch faster by preloading frequently used ones into memory. The Terminal can be improved, and swappiness optimization can be performed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for around four and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux appears to be very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux handles growth and increased workloads well. Ubuntu Linux can handle growth easily and has a good level of scalability.
How are customer service and support?
In terms of customer support for Ubuntu Linux, it appears very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, Kali Linux was being used by my organization, but it did not suit my organization as the UI was very slow, different issues used to occur, and the support was not available.
I did not evaluate much because all of my colleagues suggested going for Ubuntu Linux only.
What was our ROI?
In the last year, approximately twenty percent of sales increased due to Ubuntu Linux, and ten percent of workload decreased after using Ubuntu Linux.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
In terms of pricing and licensing, it seems very reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
The security upgrades and lightweight components made a noticeable impact in my daily work. The built-in firewall and encryption methods really enhance the security of our customers, which increased our customer base because they believed that using Ubuntu Linux, our security has reached a maximum point and they can safely use it with confidence.
I would advise customers that I was also using different versions of Linux like Kali Linux , but after using Ubuntu Linux, the UI and application seem much easier. It is open-source, so I would recommend trying it for at least a few months, and then you will see the difference and will never leave it. My overall rating for Ubuntu Linux is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
An Excellent LTS Choice for Servers and Development
Long-term support
Ease of use
Snap dependency
Has supported secure application hosting and reliable server management
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux for servers and hosting applications.
What is most valuable?
I find the GUI to be good in Ubuntu Linux , and I appreciate the open SSH. The fact that it is free since it is open and open-source is why I appreciate it and feel it is secured. We have multiple different kinds of support related to Ubuntu Linux, including official support and other options.
I am currently using laptops, desktops, and servers, and Ubuntu Linux supports all these devices. If I need it for Raspberry Pi or something similar, I can download another Linux distribution.
Ubuntu Linux is scalable, especially for servers. We prefer using Ubuntu Linux Servers rather than Windows.
The biggest advantage of Ubuntu Linux for me is that it is open-source, secured, and scalable.
What needs improvement?
I was thinking that Ubuntu Linux and Windows would work on the same machine. With Windows 11 , they came together, so it is a good thing. On the GUI, when I use SSH or PuTTY or what is called a console port to connect with the network devices or servers, it is somehow difficult compared with Windows. If it gets easier, then it will be great.
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
At this time, I have no issues with the stability of Ubuntu Linux.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
So far, I do not have any issues related to security in Ubuntu Linux. Whenever there is an update or whenever I install an application, I update it. Therefore, I do not have any significant issues with the Ubuntu Server.
Everything is good with Ubuntu Linux. I do not have any significant challenges with Ubuntu Linux.
How are customer service and support?
I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Ubuntu Linux is easy for me. It takes just 10 minutes.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am currently using laptops, desktops, and servers, and Ubuntu Linux supports all these devices. If I need it for Raspberry Pi or something similar, I can download another Linux distribution.
What other advice do I have?
I was thinking that Ubuntu Linux and Windows would work on the same machine. With Windows 11 , they came together, so it is a good thing. On the GUI, when I use SSH or PuTTY or what is called a console port to connect with the network devices or servers, it is somehow difficult compared with Windows. If it gets easier, then it will be great.
It is really hard to think of specific benefits in Ubuntu Linux that are not available in Windows at this time. However, on the security side, Ubuntu Linux is more secured.
At this time, we do not purchase anything related to Ubuntu Linux Server through AWS Marketplace .
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ubuntu Linux a rating of nine.
