Robust but lacking incentive
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu server is robust and dependable. Our team never has to worry about a system update breaking our deployment. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, also provides support in case something does go wrong. That lifeline is essential for our business operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is essentially Debian with extra steps. There are no major features that Ubuntu on the server side provides, but does have some caveats, notably the inclusion of "Snap" packages. Snap packages are meant to be helpful, but can often conflict with non-Snap packages if not careful. Their inclusion should be an explicit opt-in by the user.

Our team needed an operating system to deploy our applications on, from payroll to in-house technology solutions. Ubuntu server has been excellent at its job, providing a stable platform. It runs many applications such as Docker, Portainer, and NGINX flawlessly. This reliability allows us to dedicate our resources to other matters.

An easy-to-use solution for desktops, MCE with Kubernetes platform but lacks support, stability and scalability
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is easy to start, and MicroK8s is easy to deploy. Plug into the back-end storage and networking is also easy.
It is good to start with 3-4 nodes, but hard to scale. For production grades like 20 or 100 nodes, we go with the RedHat for on-premise.
What needs improvement?
The support team is not good and needs to be improved. The user community is excellent and helpful, but some questions are unanswered. Also, stability and scalability could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux as an end user for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool could be more stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product’s scalability is not better. RedHat is better. We’ve more than ten users using this product. We plan to increase the usage when there is a requirement or specification.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. Deploying OS is fast and takes less than a day.
We can do the installation on a small scale without consultants, but when it comes to scale.
Ubuntu is an OS. You need the specification, storage, network, IP, etc., and deploy it by orchestration or just do the standalone installation infrastructure.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If the customer wants to start, there is no license required. It is all free, but they must purchase the production license.
What other advice do I have?
Mostly, the product is on-premise, but in some cases, we managed to deploy applications in the cloud.
The solution is easy and simple to start because of complete documentation. When you go for production, we must purchase the hardware and OS license.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
