Yes, Open Source Linux IS Business Class

  • August 16, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that this software allows you to start working with it right away without having to worry about business process getting in the way. No timed trials, lots of free support, tons of online tutorials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is so flexible, there are infinite number of ways to set it up. Sometimes, this can be difficult when transitioning a system from someone who does things different than you do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many of the commercially available tools that are out there are too expensive to get up and running. With Ubuntu, I do not need to worry about the cost. I can just jump in and go! So far, I use Ubuntu to:
- network management
- BI
- documentation
- electronic forms
- workflow
- automation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is one of those things where you simply need to feel comfortable working in the environment and you need to be confident that you will be successful along with getting the assistance that you need when things do not go your way. There is so much community support and documentation available at absolutely no cost to you for the Ubuntu operating system, there really is no reason not to go with it. The only caveat that I would put out there is that if you are using the package manager (apt or apt-get), sometimes the packages can be a little bit long in the tooth. Do take some time to ensure that the version you have installed is the right version fro you.

Ubuntu - Open source and robust OS

  • August 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is best operating system for programmer considering speed,command level access to OS features,also it is rarely or remotely prone to viruses.
Unlike Windows it has good softwares at free cost.
Also Ubuntu has better community than its peers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very less repulsive or displeasing things about Ubuntu.
One thing however to add maybe is its inability to provide gamer's a platform for playing Games.
Linux lacks a large consumer user base, which means that it might be difficult to convince mainstream developers to support the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consider installing Angular Cli.
While installing Angular Cli in Windows, I faced various issues and had no clear idea to tackle them.
Whilst on Ubuntu, I had good community to back me up.

I am a full time software developer, and I have to say: I LOVE UBUNTU. It is free and amazing. Specially its server version is light and extremely powerful with very good built in security features.

The Most Dependable Operating System for Rookies to Start Linux.

  • August 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most appealing thing about ubuntu is that is a free source which means is free. It does not require a license or a product key after a certain period of time. Ubuntu is also customizable, which means a user can add or remove features to it without tampering with the end-user license agreement. Unlike other operating systems that are not Linux, while updating the OS you do not need to restart your machine. This product is also secure from viruses and any other security bridges. You do not need to install it to run it. You only need a VM box to run it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to other Operating Systems, Ubuntu is perspective to hardware faults hence making it less steady. For gamers, is not possible to play 3D games on the ubuntu. It is very convenient for new technology. For non-tech people, it is difficult to use or understand the operating system since most of the operations are done using the terminal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to use and safe t store my files too. I have also improved my projects since running them on Linux is better than any other operating system. I have also been able to teach myself commands which have improved my thinking capacity
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it possible for also for non-tech people be able to use it with ease. Since it can be customized and add new features, for gamers it would be fun to play games using Ubuntu since it is secure and most games are affected by viruses.
