Easy to use and free alternative to commercial business software

  • November 05, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am always surprised by the fact why not more companies use Ubuntu as their business software as it is surprisingly easy to use, secure and most importantly it’s free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don’t dislike anything about Ubuntu
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For no money you get an operation system that gives you a good package of basic software that you need; a huge collection of software that you can download in the software centre and you are free to use or change these programmes however you see fit for the purpose of your business

Ubuntu a stable Linux distribution

  • November 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is extremely stable and has a very good interface. The more happy news it is free to use and It also has many free applications.
It does not require any kind of antivirus which is very important these days to make your computer secure. Performance of Ubuntu is also very good in comparison with windows. The best thing it is free and you don't need to worry about the license cost when buying any new system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we faced was with office documents. Libre office works well with documents created in it but when people share documents made in Microsoft office latest versions it creates different annoying issues like formatting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our organization we started shifting from Windows and selected Ubuntu which didn't make much difference for users. The main concern was the alternative to Microsoft office which Libre office served very well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Such a good OS for free. Why not to try?

A refreshing trade!

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unlike Windows, this operating system is not gradual over time and the control of procedures could be very efficient, consequently the PC works smoothly. Ubuntu is that operating system. Ubuntu is the main choice for any stage of development from beginner to professional. Anyone can be confident using this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with Samba connectivity. But it's worth investing a lot of time to achieve the important ease of carrying out administrative responsibilities with maximum speed. If you are dual-booting, grub kind of replaces the MBR unless you are being careful and doing it the hard way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is like the tool for creating other equipment that we use to test a low-cost denial-of-service assault tool. It is better for humans working in academia.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it if you are looking to work with IT, not for regular use anymore, it is tough and not friendly in any way, but if you are used to the era, you won't find any more problems. I guess you might not regret it. Spin it up and try it.

Ubuntu, the best operating system ever made

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is open source, Linux based operating system, there are tons of thing ubuntu can do others os can't for starters it is fully customizable you can change every single element of your UI/ UX, Ubuntu is highly secure that means no need to invest your money to buy antiviruses that tries to breach your computer to harm your data, Ubuntu is used by many developers around the globe because it has many functionality inbuilt which people have to install externally in another os like windows,Ubuntu is the fastest operating system out there because it manages the system resources use very efficiently, Ubuntu also gives you an inbuilt support for the bash in terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is not very user-friendly as other operating systems like windows is, especially for beginners they have to struggle a lot to get a habit of it, installing any software in Ubuntu is not just a double-click thing it could be a headache sometime, Ubuntu also has less hardware support especially graphics drivers are not supported, using Ubuntu I always face wireless connectivity issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Ubuntu for software development and machine learning as there are many free open source software for it, Ubuntu is used as a sole operating system in many companies and also it is very helpful will doing many server-side works
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Ubuntu for people who want's to be a developer or wanted to join cooperate world because if you did than Ubuntu is an operating system which is used everywhere and is also open source and highly adjustable to your needs, it also gives better performance than other os in low-end devices one must try it .


    Computer Software

Great open source OS

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free
Good platform for learning Linux as it has a nice UI but all the command line tools still available.
I use Ubuntu at home now more than Windows. Ubuntu is faster and better than previous versions as well.
Tons of open source software available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphics card support isn't as good as it is on Windows but you shouldn't be using Linux for serious gaming anyway. UI has improved but is unfamiliar if you are used to Windows. Not all software is compatible but with web apps being more prevalent this is less of an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development work and hosting web applications/services(without GUI). Easy to develop on and great experience for learning development skills.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best way to get started with Linux.
Recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 18 if you system can handle it.
Use the command line.
Create a dual boot with Windows if that is what you are coming from.

What do you like best about the product?
The most simple and widely used operating system for any kind of industry. The simple operations and commands are the best part of this os. its completely virus free is also the most remarkable feature.

The support system fails sometimes. Like the wifi connection becomes invisible sometimes and crashes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My primary operating system is Ubuntu only. I use it for programming, sharing files, browsing, developer applications and many more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is more secure and advanced than other OS. It supports all applications and plugins. For education and business it is best fit.

great for replacing windows if you know what you are doing

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the customization, the streamlined functions, and the ease of set-up
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of support from programs like Microsoft office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
my desktop is on the older side, and I need to have a responsive desktop. Using Ubuntu helped speed up the desktop
Recommendations to others considering the product:
depends on what you want to do, and what industry your work is in. I think it's better than Windows or Mac, but it's not as user friendly, and people don't typically like googling things or relying on tech support if there's an issue.

I Love using Ubuntu Server

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Yes Ubuntu server is my go to Distro to spin up a quick little server. From the amount of support I find online to the very nature of being able to install most every app I need for my server in a simple App-get command just makes setting it up a breeze. Couple it with Monit and you have an amazing up time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that really comes to my mind is that you cannot run as Root. I understand the security behind it but still I just wish They would get rid of that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run on site backup boxes with Ubuntu as the OS and then run our Code 42 on top. We also run a few other applications for customers and a few things onsite. It's easier to setup than Redhat by far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not Redhat but it shouldn't be, with it's strong Debian base and now the addition of snap apps it's going the right way. Spin it up and try it!
