Ubuntu allows me to run all the applications I need

  • September 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think the fact that Ubuntu is open source is something I really like about it. It not only saves software costs dramatically, but it can also handle running most of the business software I use such as word processing applications, spreadsheet editors and web-based collaboration tools. I can get on the internet very smoothly by connecting to wifi networks as I would on a Windows or Mac computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't as many software selections compared to more popular operating systems like Windows and Mac. The user interface takes some time to get used to, especially for users that are accustomed to other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can use Ubuntu to run all the applications I need for work and also browse the internet and visit all the websites I need to for conducting business. Using an open source operating system helps me to reduce costs on software. I can get all the latest updates without having to constantly pay fees. I have also had fewer malware infections compared to when I used Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have to download and install software that is particular to operating systems like Windows and Mac, Ubuntu might be a good operating system that can save you money and run smoothly.

Ubuntu

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing i like in Ubuntu is it free and most of the applications that it run also free , Ubuntu is easily customizable unlike other Linux distros where you need to do a lot of configurations , it is more secure , you can even run Ubuntu from a live USB with out installing that one of the coolest feature where you can carry your operating system on a pen drive and can connect to your workstation anytime , and it is better suited for development purpose because Ubuntu offers a lot of open source applications/tools that are required to develop a project. Also Ubuntu terminal is the best because it comes with preinstalled and default support with bash and many other commands that are supported on servers, local files etc., and Ubuntu is a Hardware friendly it can run on older hardware with easy unlike in other operating systems except Linux Distro. Now Ubuntu comes with GNOME 3 Desktop environment looks cool than before. And finally the forum that is available for Ubuntu is simply awesome where you can find solutions for almost every problem that you have encountered with Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is a powerful and improved user experience but it still carry lags sometimes. also Ubuntu doesn't support modern games shows poor graphic quality. With my experience Ubuntu doesn't support NVIDIA G force Graphic drivers in a dual booted laptop .also Ubuntu doesn't comes per-installed in modern laptops user needs to install it. Also driver support for Ubuntu is less compared to other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly i use Ubuntu to get experience in Linux commands and its environment . I use Apache Hadoop (HDFS) to process big data computations on Ubuntu and with ubuntu library support Map reduce programs can be execute easily .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an Linux distro that is secured ,more available packages and want to develop something then you should try Ubuntu .

What do you like best about the product?
I have tried Ubuntu at home, and in my work the answer is always reliable. It is clear that users need to learn as the experience becomes better and better when exploring alternatives. However, there is no need to be overly aware of its use, there will always be a critical software cleaner, but it is easily overlooked due to the variety of capabilities offered by the distribution.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to have a good understanding of how to find file systems and content - this is the biggest obstacle I have included.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Local integrated app menus, utility launches and minimizing, it has never been easier to unlock, and VMware works great with improved graphics and speed. Very easy to use and install. It's highly customizable and it's free. Most people around use it and know it, finding technical support and sharing documents, apps with others is easy. Linux Ubuntu has a lot of viruses. Every six months or so, with kernel modules and enhancements, Linux hardware support is up to date. Never before has it been so good. My gaming experience has changed forever.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend including Ubuntu in the developing world because it is more powerful and secure than Windows. It has many features that make your work easier and easier

Very best Oprating system for startup and free users

  • September 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy operating system any user can install it who knows basic of installing OS and it had great features like app store so that users don't need to learn to use terminal
What do you dislike about the product?
Just more GUI and allow all windows apps directly to install without any VINE type apps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Can't use free open office like Microsoft office so it would be great if it allows to install that too directly or but can understand as its open source we need to help it improve
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improve Design and give on time updates and allow all windows software to be installed without any other third party package

Good Linux Based OS and Server

  • September 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am using Centos now for a lamp stack. There are some configurations I could not initiate with Ubuntu that is why I switched with Centos.

I used Ubuntu before mostly not as a workstation but as a server. It is quite good but there are some configurations I could not sort out with my reconfigured lamp stack and another server using nginx as a reverse proxy.

When I use Ubuntu as a workstation, it is excellent. Most of the available repositories are okay and not much of a hiccup unlike other Linux based OS specific for workstations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is not good for server side task. It is more good as a workstation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free. It is good for a person who has more work related things using Linux.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is heavy compared to other Linux based OS.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is a Linux Distribution. I use it as the operating system instead of Windows and macOS.

#Ubuntu

  • September 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Any ways Ubuntu is a Operating system which is for those who wants simplify everything. Wants just be relaxed and do nothing. This operating system gives you ability to rest, because there is not very often updates and there is no "viruses" which can hurt you for daily work. I think this is for those who don't use many kind of softwares and wants just surf in to the internet and watch videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
what I dislike is the many software which is for windows and we can run it on it, here it is not. there is some emulators which can run some of softs on linux but it is not the goal. The main thing what I dislike is that many mnay of software is not for linux, so for ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the main benefit what I had is that I put the token on the machine which "wears" the ubuntu operating system and it is about one year I don't care about it. I mean it is very stable and does it's job. In some situations I turn on that machine just because electricity has some problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Ubuntu to use in any kind of situations. As an admin it is very stable operating system. I use Ubuntu for token which is connected via VPN to another Ubuntu in the Goverment institution. So I think the Desktop Version and The Server Version is both Stable, as linux is.
