An easy-to-use solution for desktops, MCE with Kubernetes platform but lacks support, stability and scalability

  • August 31, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good for testing applications and that’s about it

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's very simple to use. Nothing fancy and when we had to test a couple codes in our testing phase of our application, we were able to do it in a jiffy
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it is something that has to be installed by support team. So there was a time lag because we had to until manually install it in a new joinee's system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to run our application's code in our ubuntu server. As a devops engineer, we have to constantly monitor and continously integrate changes and we were able to quickly run our code during testing phase and make any changes.

Useful Open Source Endpoint OS

  • August 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
No license cost. Does not require more hardware resource. Works well with even 2 GB RAM. GUI is simple and easy to use. Performance is good and system boots fast. Inbuilt Security features are ok and even industry standard AV may not be needed. OS is stable and patches are not released frequently. Works well in call center industries and most of the crm and click to call products can be integrated. Internet browser is ok
What do you dislike about the product?
Industry standard business applications do not work. Cannot integrate with Active directory. Industry standard av are not compatible. Technical support is a challenge. Training is needed for staff before they can use. Cannot control the OS centrally and audit trail feature is not good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using for staff who are taking incoming and doing outbound calls for customers and they access only one or two applications. We are using the OS for one of the IIFL group companies

The best server and Live OS

  • August 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
extremily easy to use, the command line happens to be intuitive and most of all it's based on Debian, because of this gets enormous software support, also the fact that it is developed by Canonical probably helps with driver support by third parties (since they likely advertise it)
also for prouduction use you can pay canonical for help in case you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes is a bit of an overkill so I choose to switch to alpine linux, probably is not as good as redhat in some instances but still pretty good for most of my use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu comes is very useful as a recovery tool among with it's dedicated variants, also I found it to be the best one to be used as server side operative system (though it's actually the only one which I am used to along with alpine linux)

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most famous operating system after windows. It's easily available highly supported to any device. It's is cloud based os where in our organization it helped us to keep an eye on every device for security purpose.

As we are in gaming industry so it's is less suitable here as it doesn't have good game support. It's graphic quality could be bit low. And also there is no driver support like we can't even play music usic mp3
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a cost cutting software speciall while working with software development or developers. As it has made convenient to perform most of the tasks. Easily available for everyone's use
