  • Review provided by G2

A lightweight OS, close to the hardware so that we can use the resources as per our need.

The features that other os provides can be a bit more productive like apple style gestures.

Ubuntu is solving security issues that might occur on windows and since it consumes very less resources, virtual systems can run on it smoothly.

The best server os

  • November 19, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of access, and the customizability.
Ubuntu as an opensource system provides multiple ways of customization, so it is an ideal server operating system for almost all tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some package / dependency conflicts in the system. Although ubuntu is customizable, but sometimes it can have deoendency errors ot conflicts which could result in a proble more so in root account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A cloud linux server that can be converted to any distribution. I consider ubuntu server as a generic system which i can use for any and all needs, i have used it for both ai ml applications and cybersecurity applications.

What do you like best about the product?
Sleek functioning, small size, free of cost and easy to use for an entrant into the world of Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many business softwares- equivalent of word, powerpoint, photoshop etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allowed me to move into development and host web apps easily. It allowed me to transition into using Linux by first choosing Ubuntu which is not as detached from Windows as some of the other advanced Linux kernels like Kali.

Ubuntu server > Windows server

  • November 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that with Ubuntu, I can get the standard environment of Linux along with some user interface too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the setup portion a bit tricky, but nothing too major. But all the issue I faced had solutions all over the internet. So no problem overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Ubuntu server to deploy a web application. I have docker installed and have deployed a NodeJS backend along with a MongoDB database on it.

Ubuntu a great OS

  • November 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very similar to Rehdat Linux, and commands are straightforward like any other Linux. The main attraction towards Ubuntu is its freeware license. Earlier we were on Windows server and then we plan to move it to linux, then idea came up to our mind is to switch to ubuntu and if things goes well then we can go for Oracle Redhat Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
Security wise its superb. Support is also very nice. Even we can get troubleshooting commands of ubuntu while searching it on any engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, Ubuntu is fulfilling all our criteria and we have achieved more than what we thought so we dont have any dislikes about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier we were on Windows server and then we desperately want to migrate to linux. Then idea came up to our mind and we switch it to ubuntu and in our initial days we thought if things goes well then we can further migrate it Oracle Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
In wndows there were many security concerns which were fixed in Ubuntu. And if we will talk about performance, then its way better than windows

OS of choice for experimental servers.

  • November 05, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A well-maintained linux distro that handles all the traditional server elements easily and without any extra effort. When working on our experimental server software, we don't have to worry about a package we need not being available or compatible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being open source, and adding the packages you need can create security vulnerabilities, especially if you lose track of all the packages in use so you don't eventually realize you are still using something with a known issue that could have been removed or secured. It can also be challenging to teach someone else to use with no GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Ubuntu for the experimental server gives us more control and the capacity to modify the operating system itself as needed easily. The cost (or lack of) also makes it easy to install on any new or existing equipment.

Awesome open-source alternative for the Windows Ecosystem

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If your activity is not bound to specific Windows-only applications, Ubuntu can be a good OS chose for your office computer. It has a lot of packages available via snaps or repos, it has a big and active community and it gets shipped with different graphical interfaces. It's easy for everybody to adopt an Ubuntu flavor that matches their preferences in terms of GUI.
What do you dislike about the product?
You don't need to be a Linux admin or a hacker to use an Ubuntu desktop, but you must have a bunch of computer skills, in order to solve the different issues that might occur.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is providing a free OS alternative for computers. If you don't need to use specific software, like AutoCAD, Photoshop or others, you can save the money you would pay for the software licenses.

Best Operating System out there

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The thing I liked most about Ubuntu Desktop is that it is easy to use, lightweight and compatible with any desktop with the least requirement for specifications. I also liked how well the community is established for this on the websites like StackOverflow and Reddit, which come real handy when stuck for any kind of problem, and also how the most used software is accessible with no cost on the platflorm.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside about it is that the command required for downloading other software is a little tricky sometimes, but again this problem is solved by the community that is on the internet to help with those things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that I faced most while using an OS is that most of the software on the other platform is either paid or subscription based, but on this, they are absolutely free or have a free alternative.
Also, while using other OS, I had to specify the path of the software, for instance, when installing Java on Ubuntu I did not have to specify the path to the environment variables; it automatically picks up whenever running the java program.
