Great for custom VoIP System
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable this operation system is. We really use it for most of our servers because it is reliable, customizable and is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about this flavor of Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a reliable OS to run our phone server on and this was our choice. We are constantly adding tweaks to our server and Ubuntu has been good to take whatever we throw at it. We have had a really consistently good experience while using this OS.
Best for Servers
What do you like best about the product?
If you have a knowledge in the Linux platform, then this is one of the best OS. I had worked in Ubuntu when I was worked on the servers, Most of the servers have Ubuntu operating system, it is easy to setup. There is three or four commands which we used to setup LAMP. Even if we are talking about security, then you are also familiar with UFW which are the best security part in Ubuntu. The best thing is you no need to pay single amount in ubuntu OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike nothing in Ubuntu. If you are the new users in Ubuntu, this is little bit tough to understand the UI of Ubuntu, but after that if you familiar with that, this is very easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the previous organization, we are using windows for the development. And we paid for the windows license. After that, when we implement Ubuntu, they save money because it is the free one even on the servers as well. There are lots of benefit we have realized, We don't need to take tension about security. We all know, nothing is secure on the web. But Ubuntu provide the best security. In Ubuntu, you are using commands,one of the best thing for a developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is good for security and development sector. They save your time, easy to setup and best for the servers. They have all the repo's which you want in the development phase.
Great all purpose OS for when you need *nix environment
What do you like best about the product?
It's lightweight, fast, and having the builtin linux tools and languages are perfect for processing and cleaning up giant data files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting it up to run can be a hassle as not all hardware is supported, but if you set it to run in a VM, it'll pretty much be plug and chug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Processing giant data files and spitting out the resultant set as an input for other systems. I've had no problems working with files >8GB in Linux, whereas it would stutter and crash while trying to use Microsoft's Office Suite. I might have been able to use the Powershell, but AWK is very powerful and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great for power users and people who are used to linux. I used to use slackware and red hat distros, but I find that Ubuntu is perfect for general use.
Great for beginners of Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface, great GUI, flexible menus, and of course it's FREE to install
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited drivers for some specific products, most items run through emulation.

No official "support" of products other than the OS itself. Most support done through forum communities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For first-timers getting into the Linux environment, this is user friendly to explore.
My Ubuntu user-experience
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been for me one of the most user-friendly Linux distros i have used. It has a simple interface, very easy to use and very cool features and graphics. The new versions which are based in GNOME are further more greater because the menu is accessible in a better way and the system offers much more flexibility. If you're wondering : "What about my hardware? I need drivers to install for all my inputs." Well in my whole experience all devices connected to my computer running Ubuntu connected automatically, no drivers needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu in a nutshell requires a well parameter computer and it does not work well if your computer is not fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Elementary OS which is based Ubuntu. I have used it to work with my designs on GIMP or Inkscape, and also to communicate on Telegram with my co-workers. And also for the usual web surfing and correspondence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone who is trying to switch from Windows or Apple to another OS id suggest Ubuntu because it has a simple to understand environment and you can adapt very quickly.
Best Web Dev OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is super easy to use even for those new to Linux. It also gives the user tons of power to customize their experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Availability of software. I'm still stuck to using Windows for certain pieces of software, unless I want to use a solution such as WINE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development and server administration.
Ubuntu: A solid Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a fan of Linux ever since I was first introduced to it. The granularity and diverse structure allows for one of the most complete customizations of an operating system that I have ever seen.
What do you dislike about the product?
To truly utilize any Linux distribution you have to be very experienced with the Linux operating system environment. You will have to spend a good bit of time configuring the system to get it optimized to your use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes for a great base operating system for a number of monitoring hooks, acts as a wonderfully stable web server platform, and just about any other service that does not specifically require Windows or OSX.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't used a Linux distribution before, be prepared for some complexity.
Ubuntu for Web Server Use
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to install and has done a great job of both releasing bi-annual version updates as well as Long Term Support (LTS) versions. They keep the software patched and up to date and that has been a huge feature for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have much to comment on that I dislike. I've been using Ubuntu for so many years, I don't remember when we even started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've utilized Ubuntu for the Apache Web Server and PHP software platform. It has served us very well and provided a stable platform for our web server hosting both for internal and external projects. Due to the way they maintain the product it has also decreased our support load for patching and updates. We've been able to lean o
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu has been a great platform. They are continually improving and updating the system. The security fixes and update management have been huge for us and I would certainly recommend this product to others. While almost everyone in our organization uses the services provided by the underlying platform they do not realize it and the gains impact our IT department the most.
Best enterprise OS for software development
What do you like best about the product?
package manager apt-get
Native support for PostgreSql database
I can use it on windows subsystem for linux
I love using it on vagrant box.

What do you dislike about the product?
Mounting a smb or shared drive is not always easy.
When I use it on windows subsystem for linux, then I get permissions issue. Though I set proper user permission on Ubuntu, drives which are shared still use the windows permissions, instead of the changed permissions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very stable. It creates a eco-system for us by providing php-apache-postgres package as a bundle.
Ubuntu has good support for Salt. Because of this deployment of our applications becomes very easy.
Thats the reason we love Ubuntu bundle for our development environment and production environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used Ubuntu as we get a Vagrant support for it.
It makes our development environment as close to production environment as possible.
Always use the native stable packages with Ubuntu. It would make your system scale - able and easy upgrade - able when newer versions of Ubuntu are released.
If you use Ubuntu on your development, staging and production environment, then it becomes easy to manage your enterprise deployment thru continuous integrations tools like Jenkins.

Ubuntu is winning desktop and server positions
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature Ubuntu has to offer is the wide availability of installable packages. Right behind that is the project’s commitment to long term support on certain releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is littl to dislike about Ubuntu, however the lack of a hardened setup option for common configurations is disappointing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run Ubuntu for many different projects. I run a website for my wife on it, and sandbox servers for my company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Running linux is a fantastic way to reduce cost, but only if you have the technical expertise to be your own support. Consider all the costs, but then do it because all the cool kids are doing it. :)
