Great User Experience

  • December 03, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and community LTS makes this distribution of Linux great. They are not afraid to try different things and still work on getting things write. It is a well known and popularly used distribution for server and desktop daily use. There are many options to find what you need that is not preloaded software on the system with little to no cost. There is better support now for hardware and games if that is something you wish to try out. I find it really useful for running network security software and suites to get consultant work done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Default version of python is still 2.x while that version is old and the current version is 3.x it is not the system default. There is not much I can say about this distro that is bad. I never really cared for the default side bar but it grows on you and you can change everything as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Free stable operating system that runs all the software I need for daily tasks and special use cases. Can run all my security suite tools plus other software needed to perform my job on a daily basis and great daily driver for personal use as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small. Try your hand at the Package Managers and tools you can use on the system out of the box. If you are new to linux use it as your daily driver for a few weeks before deciding on this distribution. Soon you will find it is easy to use and has a popular support base. There will be plenty of tutorials and others looking for similar answers to questions you may have and regular support for now and long term is expected.

One of the finest operating systems to learn how it works

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am using Ubuntu for past one and a half year. I use windows too, but found ubuntu more straightforward and generally less of a pain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The just thing I dislike about Ubuntu is its messaging menu and notification system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing I realized while using ubuntu is its command line interfacing and network interface. While using windows, I was stuck with a same issue which was rather solved with ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best operating system I had used till date. Not only it resolves network issues, but is also a open source platform and provides security as well.

Ubuntu - Best Operating system for website hosting

  • November 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can easily use Ubuntu for a hosting server, we can easy to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL to run a website in Ubuntu. They launch the new version 18.04, they are improving day by day. On the servers, we always use ubuntu. There are three reasons to use Ubuntu: 1. We are very familiar with Ubuntu. 2. it is very easy to set up all the packages like web server etc on the ubuntu. 3. It is free, we don't need to pay for Ubuntu like windows. That's why we always prefer Ubuntu for development and hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is very good for web hosting but if you stuck somewhere like MySQL stopped working. so, there is a very different way to resolve this. Most of the times, you need to remove all the package and add it again. Maintenance is tough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source and free makes it a lot more interesting. We can use it in a big company and it will save a lot of cost by not having to buy another operating system for all other employees. Thus saving a lot of money at the end of the year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, very fast operating system

It's a different experience than using Windows .A very different experience.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU / Linux distribution. It is distributed as a free and open source software, along with commercial software. It is named after the South African Ubuntu Philosophy. I guess you imagined this being the first point on our list. But the fact that Ubuntu is free goes beyond many customers’ need to not pay for stuff .I think Ubuntu software is a problem-less operating software.It is open source software.Basic knowledge is required to use but very easy to use.The convenience of being accessible to all users is a special advantage.It is an advantage to have no cost for software that does not have slow and no virus threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
When installing some software, you will need to follow the same procedures.In general, some software may have difficulties and only open-source software such as Ubuntu should be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideal to use with internet connections. Can be used to work with internal networks. Viral effects are low.Computers that use other operating systems tend to be slower, and Ubuntu does not show such slowdowns.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although Ubuntu looks like a hard operating system, you will find it to be very easy to use. Try using.

Ubuntu Review

  • November 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very simple software to install and also update when one needs to. Unlike a few software of its kind, Ubuntu can be customized by an individual user and it works properly for both Windows and maCOS operating systems.Another advantage Ubuntu comprises of is that is it free to download and it also comes with a variety of not paid for apps. Ubuntu’s interface is also very attractive compared to its other competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu sometimes freezes in some operations and its capability may vary from the different operating systems which are Windows and maCOS. The idea of many desktops running is useless because once a file is open on one desktop, it still runs on the same desktop even when transferred to another desktop. Where is the button to show the desktop? It is no where to be seen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just like a good operating system, Ubuntu is very simple to install apps and various files. I have been able to carryout my documentations in Ubuntu. Apart from that, It is easy for me to use various softwares on Ubuntu compared to any other operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For any computer user, both software and hardware, Ubuntu is a very efficient, effective and trusted operating system and i would recommend anyone to use Ubuntu without any worries.

The best Operating system

  • November 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Light weight. There are like so many flavours of ubuntu that you can use for your specific purposes. As you already know it's a linux based OS if something breaks you can actually fix it for yourself or there are already hundreds of solutions online fixed by the community. Faster than any typical Windows systems relatively.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it breaks. I would not say it is unstable but sometimes they do break. There are not much options on drivers for third party hardwares. Rest assured I don't dislike much in ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using Windows in our team and when we shifted to ubuntu we saved a hell lot of money. Also since it's lightweight and super faster than windows the productivity increased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Install Ubuntu and I guarantee you that you won't go back to Windows again.
