Document Compatibility can be a pain, especially when printing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No license fees, ease of support, works on slow hardware, good localization.

If you're technical, you probably already have it.

An easy way to introduce yourself into Open Source OS

  • January 24, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
intuitive interface, firts time i use an OS with open source was traumataizing, i was used to Windows and suddenly i dont know where is anything, everything is out of place and its pretty much a hell, i uninstall my firts open source OS. When i try Ubuntu all was soft and smoothly, they give you a nice introduction and they keep in mind that probably your new with open source OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default app dowload system sometimes fail with the downloads and sometimes you have the app you want itsnt even in the store. Probably they fix this in future versions but now i dont like it. I have found it usefull when you have to dowload the most popular programs but not the less popular.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work sometimes i have to work with Linux software and other open source OS. So Ubuntu was great for my first steeps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best way to learn the basis of Open Source.

Great all purpose OS for when you need *nix environment

  • January 23, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's lightweight, fast, and having the builtin linux tools and languages are perfect for processing and cleaning up giant data files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting it up to run can be a hassle as not all hardware is supported, but if you set it to run in a VM, it'll pretty much be plug and chug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Processing giant data files and spitting out the resultant set as an input for other systems. I've had no problems working with files >8GB in Linux, whereas it would stutter and crash while trying to use Microsoft's Office Suite. I might have been able to use the Powershell, but AWK is very powerful and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great for power users and people who are used to linux. I used to use slackware and red hat distros, but I find that Ubuntu is perfect for general use.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface, great GUI, flexible menus, and of course it's FREE to install
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited drivers for some specific products, most items run through emulation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No official "support" of products other than the OS itself. Most support done through forum communities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For first-timers getting into the Linux environment, this is user friendly to explore.

Ubuntu LTS: easy to support; easy for users to "get"

Ubuntu makes *nix painless for otherwise resistant users
Recommendations to others considering the product:

My Ubuntu user-experience

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been for me one of the most user-friendly Linux distros i have used. It has a simple interface, very easy to use and very cool features and graphics. The new versions which are based in GNOME are further more greater because the menu is accessible in a better way and the system offers much more flexibility. If you're wondering : "What about my hardware? I need drivers to install for all my inputs." Well in my whole experience all devices connected to my computer running Ubuntu connected automatically, no drivers needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu in a nutshell requires a well parameter computer and it does not work well if your computer is not fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Elementary OS which is based Ubuntu. I have used it to work with my designs on GIMP or Inkscape, and also to communicate on Telegram with my co-workers. And also for the usual web surfing and correspondence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone who is trying to switch from Windows or Apple to another OS id suggest Ubuntu because it has a simple to understand environment and you can adapt very quickly.

Ubuntu

  • January 11, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Most Linux operating systems are not user friendly. This one is. The GUI (Graphic user interface) is wonderful. It is extremely useful for organizations with in-house developers. Easy to implement. It is free to download.
What do you dislike about the product?
I suppose it would be nice if updates were manageable via SCCM. I am unsure if this has been implemented yet, but since a lot of companies are moving more towards automation, this would be a huge feature update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the Ubuntu OS to run our in-house intranet solution. It is just nice to have a light-weight Linux OS for in-house developed solutions. We also use for our code backup solution, as well as have a separate Ubuntu box for storing old versions of our intranet information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a light-weight, but still user friendly Linux OS for your solution, Ubuntu is the best (In my opinion).

Best Web Dev OS

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is super easy to use even for those new to Linux. It also gives the user tons of power to customize their experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Availability of software. I'm still stuck to using Windows for certain pieces of software, unless I want to use a solution such as WINE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development and server administration.

Ubuntu: A solid Linux Distro

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been a fan of Linux ever since I was first introduced to it. The granularity and diverse structure allows for one of the most complete customizations of an operating system that I have ever seen.
What do you dislike about the product?
To truly utilize any Linux distribution you have to be very experienced with the Linux operating system environment. You will have to spend a good bit of time configuring the system to get it optimized to your use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes for a great base operating system for a number of monitoring hooks, acts as a wonderfully stable web server platform, and just about any other service that does not specifically require Windows or OSX.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't used a Linux distribution before, be prepared for some complexity.
