server with ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
in a powerful system that helps very easily in operations that are necessary either for operational or laboratory practices, this system has many functions and are easy to install only if you know how to use the system, since it has many features that must be known in order to use it 100% but with the necessary study you can use all or most of the functions for your company and personally.
What do you dislike about the product?
What displeases me about this tool is its complexity because it has a very complex and very long study trajectory, but being able to have clear concepts its use becomes very useful over time. It is a tool that is very powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the last case attended with ubuntu was the configuration of a squid to use it as a transparent proxy in conjunction with a cisco router of the 2800 series and thus be able to have the history of the visited webs of each user of the company in which this configuration was made , it was very effective and the objectives were achieved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation to use this tool is to study it very well before using it, since it deserves to dedicate time to be able to have control of all the functions that this operating system has, besides its learning curve is long and should be taken very seriously if they want to achieve 100% use
Ubuntu for schools
What do you like best about the product?
Super stable and reliable, once setup it is set it and forget it. Free, can't beat that.
What do you dislike about the product?
steep learning curve. Some tutorials online, but commands and command lines take a while to get used to. Now they have a much better gui, but still need to use commands to install most software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ubuntu for all our video servers (unifi), as well as our wifi controller (unifi).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
plenty of self help articles and videos available. Start small but once you have it working you will be hooked.

Great Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a good Linux distribution. It is quite smooth and supports many applications. Generally, I use Ubuntu for Automating the networking devices. Ubuntu is very powerful Linux distribution. I mostly use Ubuntu Operating System as a Virtual Machine and use with different softwares like GNS3 and python. User interface is really good and interactive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike in this Operating System because, Ubuntu is very powerful Linux distribution. Some users may face problems while operating because most of the Linux distributions are difficult to understand and operate.

I mostly use Ubuntu Operating System as a Virtual Machine and use with different softwares like GNS3 and python. It operates very smoothly with other softwares. I often run Python scripts in Ubuntu and it manages to process very fast.

I would recommend developers and DevOps engineers to use Ubuntu.
User Friendly Linux
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and has a straight forward UI. I also prefer the debian package manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app store built in often causes problems. A lot of apps are not listed and if it is listed it may not be exactly what you are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development machine and servers. Running docker for development environments.
My first choice for servers
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy of use, it can be use for free, but if you want to pay the license, its support is a plus. I prefer Ubuntu than Red Hat because these reasons and because it is a Debian OS. I don't like RH new version because they don't work like other distros.
What do you dislike about the product?
Uhm, I think there is nothing I dislike, it's all right, it's the OS that I need, don't you?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my servers have this OS, 'cause it's easy of use, it's safe and it has a lot of documentation, so I can learn whatever I need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You don't need to pay any license, but if you do it, you have a gold support, better than RH by example. I prefer Ubuntu for LAMP servers and I can work with a lot of caches memories in Ubuntu, but I can't do it with RH because it's more dificult.
Ubuntu - great debian distro
What do you like best about the product?
I have used ubuntu for the past 8 years now and I love it. It is completely free and have lots of support from the community either in helping to troubleshoot issues or to install new applications or plugins. Also if you use the LTS version of ubuntu, it can pass any audit, especially PCI (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Also another thing I like is that there are new application like openstack, maas, etc being added to ubuntu after every release. Another addendum that I love is landscape which gives me the ability to centrally manage resources and fix vulnerabilities. I will continue to use ubuntu in the future and will recommend it to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have anything that I dislike about ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is the OS of choice for our applications and databases. It is the OS we are choice to pass our audits.
Freedom to Build
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I like best about Ubuntu is the freedom of choice. When installing Ubuntu, you have access to your entire hard drive. If you have a 250 gig hard drive, 249gigs are free to use. When using an OS like Windows, you have gigs that you can't access, Ubuntu gives you the entire hard drive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most frustrating things about using Ubuntu is that not all Windows programs will work in Ubuntu. There are a lot of apps you can use, but there are also a few that just simply do not work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the business problems we have solved using Unbuntu is, not having enough space on our computers to store data. Ubuntu allows full access to your entire hard drive, which allows more storage, which eliminates the need to carry around external hard drives. data is at our finger tips
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great OS for high level IT persons but a bit too complicated for the normal daily user
Excellent as desktop or server operating system
What do you like best about the product?
I have used ubuntu for a long time, I like it to be an operating system in continuous evolution and improvement, it has come very close to users who do not belong to the field of information technology which has allowed many people to use it that I like. The user interface has improved a lot as time goes by it's very nice and it's nice to use the operating system. Another point in your favor is the package manager, it is very easy to install an application from the repositories already configured or add a new repository and install from there. I love its stability in server mode, a feature inherited from Debian, good processor and memory management, services are practically never interrupted by any operating system failure, this is essential for me. Another point in their favor is trust and is the community's support you know that when installing an application is something that has guaranteed functionality, many users have already tried it and you can rest easy in that regard. There are no licenses this makes you want to install it whenever possible and finally free of computer viruses, I am calm that is not exposed to many vulnerabilities of other operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The constant updates of the operating system make it difficult to keep the production servers up to date. This has been a disadvantage for me. Since Gnome changed to Unity as a default desktop environment, I had to do an extra job when installing it on computers with low resources this I do not like I think that functionality has been sacrificed for aesthetics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work I have been able to install several web servers and also database which has allowed me to deploy applications that I have programmed with my group without problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it on is a good operating system where you can do from office work to robust web services, in general it is a good experience. Be careful when installing on low-resource computers.
