Open Source Best Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
The very first thing that comes to mind is that ubuntu is open source. Which makes it free and since it based on debian so it is stable as well. GNOME makes is a user friendly and a lot easier to use. Support community of ubuntu is best among other linux operating systems. LTS version of ubuntu's are great, they are in for the long run and are stable as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes while updating the system, it breaks and the system crashes. Since it is open source so there is not a lot of testing of code before the code reaches a user system. Which makes a bit less secure and can be prone to hackers as well maybe in the future. Sometimes for installation of a software, we have write commands in terminal rather than the software being available on the software center for easy installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source and free makes it a lot more interesting. We can use it in a big company and it will save a lot of cost by not having to buy another operating system for all other employees. Thus saving a lot of money at the end of the year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect it to work like windows, it has it's own perks and advantages. Terminal in it's own is amazing and can solve a lot of problems and we can install any version of a particular software
Ubuntu in Industory

This is a Linux based operating system that makes it more secure than windows and because of this, it provides security to our data stored in it. In this, we can easily install the software in Ubuntu by the terminal using the package file.
What do you dislike about the product?
File supported in Ubuntu is very less and it does not support NTFS file formate because of this our window user faces some problem while sharing the file with Ubuntu users. The user interface is not that friendly in Ubuntu many times we have to search google to find services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Ubuntu for managing our network infrastructure to handle traffic on our network and to monitor activities performing on our network. We created a network monitoring tool using Ubuntu and it is working very well.

I would like to recommend Ubuntu to other users also because it is a very useful tool for their organization for the testing environment to run Linux based application on it.
Ubuntu OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu can run on very less hardware requirements with very good efficiency and provides whole access to operating system to the user by root user. No one can execute file in this OS and because of this Ubuntu become more secure than windows.

User interface is not so good in Ubuntu which makes it more complex than windows. Many services are difficult to find in Ubuntu and troubleshooting is also a tough task in Ubuntu. Installation of tools and uninstalling the tools is also complex.

We are securing our infrastructure by implementing Ubuntu in our systems which provides more security than windows. It requires less resources than windows. Running Ubuntu server provides us support of DHCP and DNS servers creation on the Ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Organizations should start using Ubuntu in their systems for their users so that they can reduce the hardware resources and improve functionalities of resources.
Ubuntu is just the way to go
What do you like best about the product?
I like it MOSTLY bc its how i learned linux. But I've found it to be very reliable for production services. I use BInd9 on it in our production environment and I have never had an operating system related issue. I have used CentOS and RedHat and I always default to Ubuntu. The only reasons i wouldnt use ubuntu is that there are, obviously, some applications that arent compatable with Ubuntu
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though you can "secure" it, there needs to be more built-in security controls. Its kind of a pain to go through and do obvious security configs. However, Our environment is shifted to AWS so there are plenty of CIS images out there so its not that big of a deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
so what i found that saved A LOT of money is hybrid DNS between microsoft and AWS Route53. If all you need is forwarding then it works perfectly for forwarding from microsoft to r53. This could easily be done with aws managed ad but a t2.small linux box is much cheaper. For DELEGATING dns zones though it wont work but pretty sweet for forwarding a hybrid dns. example: Developers code pipeline creates r53 records on prem need to resolve, so instead of wasting company money on a managed ad just for forwarding i used Bind9 on Ubuntu and works beautifly and MUCH cheaper. Delegating is a different story though but, again, forwarding dont waste your money on a managed ad, use bind on Ubuntu
Ubuntu; Lightweight operating system with multiple tools.
What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu a lot because it is an open source operating system, with a powerful Linux-based system, with multiple tools, among them is the application update quickly. This software is lightweight but with great potential which is perfect for limited computers too. It has all the benefits for the university and the office.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only it should improve the graphic quality and be more accessible to users without knowledge in the area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has been very useful for me to work from home and on my job site, it doesn't make changes. It is one of the best options that offers security in the protection of files, which allows simple tasks to be carried out in the office to graphics, therefore I have realized that it is very beneficial in all areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Ubuntu for those users who want to experiment with free software. It is virus free and offers easy access to all applications. You have nothing to envy Windows.
Fast and secure Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Most important part of Ubuntu is its Kernel is Linux based which makes it more secure than windows and it is faster than windows also. In Ubuntu we can install packages by simply typing commands in terminal and this is very fast process. Ubuntu is secure operating system because no one can run executable files. We can set permission to files also.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything in Ubuntu but many users refuse to use Ubuntu because of its interface which is not that much user friendly and still people like to use windows for their ease. File structure in Ubuntu is not so good as compare to windows. Commands need to be remembered by the user because single mistake in command can stop the whole process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running different kinds of services on Ubuntu which make our tasks easier and it is easy to configure those application on linux as compare to windows. Our DHCP server and DNS server running on Ubuntu machine,

A very convenient OS for developpers

If you need a Linux operating system that is easy to use and requires very little user training over Windows, Ubuntu is the distribution to go with. Ubuntu has made it easy to switch from Windows to Linux.

Ubuntu has tried to abstract too much away from the user. While it is great that they have made things easy to use, i wish they would allow more granular configuration through CLI vs making it more difficult to do in their GUI.

Installing and running programs / scripts that require linux and cannot run on Windows. It has allowed us to efficiently run these programs.

Software development jobs. Creation of applications or programs.
