Solid for Headless Backend, but Ubuntu 20 Feels Outdated on Security and Optimization
Reviewed on May 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ubuntu 20 for a long time on my enterprise software platforms. I works perfectly and it is well fitted for backend services. We mainly use it on headless servers, no UI needed. It works great, and it's free. We migrated to newer Ubuntu versions but still Ubuntu 20 is a power horse.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has been superseded by newer versions of Ubuntu so I'd say it is a bit outdated in terms of security or memory optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used for backend services served via Apache2 HTTP services. It solves the problem of having a reliable infrastructure at a very low cost.

Hosting websites and databases has become cost‑effective and supports long‑term cloud growth
Reviewed on Apr 17, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for website hosting and for application stacks like Apache and MySQL. I am using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for hosting my website, and for the database, I use MySQL to host the application and get the response from the MySQL database.
I use Ubuntu Linux in different fields including cloud and virtualization, containerization, database management, file and network sharing, and development and DevOps. I use Ubuntu Linux for my AWS application, as Ubuntu Linux Server is used for heavily utilized hosting websites, databases, and cloud applications.
What is most valuable?
The best feature of Ubuntu Linux is that it serves as a base for private cloud and public cloud VMs for AWS.
It is very useful to use Ubuntu Linux with its GUI-based and CLI modes; the commands are very lightweight, and it is much more feasible for me with its long-term support.
Ubuntu Linux provides business advisory consultancy for business purposes and enables the smooth running of my website hosting to meet all business purposes.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is good because I am using the freeware version.
What needs improvement?
The user experience on Ubuntu Linux is very good, so I believe there is no need for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux for the last five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is definitely stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is widely used for business purposes including app storage, development, and staging environments. From my perspective as a user, I would rate Linux at eight points for its high scalability and greater relevance and advantage in terms of adherence, cost-saving, desktop compatibility, cloud server dominance, and wide industry adoption. I believe it is good for new users as well as for experienced people.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Ubuntu Linux was very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Ubuntu Linux, I was using Windows applications for application purposes. However, because of its lightweight and user-friendly environment, I am now using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for all relevant business purposes.
How was the initial setup?
Ubuntu Linux Pro version provides 20 years of security maintenance, including kernel patching and compliance with standards such as FIPS and CIS, making it cost-effective. It is open-source and free, which is already beneficial for business purposes and for running any environment.
What about the implementation team?
I have reduced staff because I am using a centralized server to manage it with Ubuntu Linux.
What was our ROI?
By using Ubuntu Linux on the cloud, I am reducing costs by at least 22 percent by providing a feasible and secure environment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not using another solution. I am new to this environment, so this is very relevant based on my experience.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight.
I provide the rating of eight because Ubuntu Linux is heavily used for business purposes with different benefits. For example, private users and small businesses can register, and the Hardy Heron release in April has led to wide industry adoption, server dominance, cloud, desktop compatibility, cost savings, and management tools.
I deploy Ubuntu Linux on an on-premises cloud as well as AWS public cloud. I use Amazon Web Services, the AWS cloud, for my public cloud deployment.
My overall review rating for Ubuntu Linux is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Discovering extensive documentation and seamless software integration elevates daily operations
Reviewed on Jun 23, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.
Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.
What needs improvement?
I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing for Ubuntu Linux is that I always use the free version, so I never paid for any installations or support.
What other advice do I have?
I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.
I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 plus.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Using workstation features effectively with enhanced security
Reviewed on May 14, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux as a workstation to check my emails, to connect to people, to use Teams, to send mails, and to browse everything, similar to how we use Windows.
I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.
What is most valuable?
For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.
In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.
What needs improvement?
There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.
The booting of Ubuntu Linux should be faster because I only have two minutes when I have calls, so it should complete more quickly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for four years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Facilitate remote troubleshooting with built-in package support
Reviewed on Apr 30, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Most of our customers use Ubuntu Linux to host their websites. We configure Apache or Nginx and troubleshoot them. If their applications are down, we check the servers. If the server goes down or there is an issue, we look into them.
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is user-friendly through the command line. The packages inside the repository are built-in, which allows for easy installation from the server environment without relying on third-party applications. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux supports remote troubleshooting via SSH, allowing connection from anywhere, which is beneficial for troubleshooting server issues.
What needs improvement?
We face minor issues with the regular upgrade; manual upgrades are required. There have been network configuration issues, specifically with netplan.yaml. Unlike CentOS, Ubuntu Linux lacks an easily accessible inbuilt repository where dependencies or packages are easily found.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for about one and a half years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Deploying on-premises can take about twenty minutes, but with a good network, it can be faster. For cloud deployments via our jump servers, it takes less than ten minutes.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have had no issues with the stability of Ubuntu Linux.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I find Ubuntu Linux scalable with no complaints.
How are customer service and support?
The support can be tough as immediate answers are not always available. However, Ubuntu Linux has a comprehensive knowledge base for self-help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have experience using CentOS. It allows direct root login, offering root privileges immediately.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Ubuntu Linux is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is not much, and I am not sure about the licensing cost because a separate team handles it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have used CentOS and are familiar with it.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend using Ubuntu Linux as it is easy to handle. The biggest benefit is the ability to connect through SSH for remote troubleshooting. My total rating for Ubuntu Linux is ten out of ten.

Reviewed on Apr 28, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux as the primary operating system for our developers and many people we work with.
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is the most secure option on the market. For business-focused people, a Mac is preferred, but for developers, Ubuntu Linux is better. Ubuntu Linux's good desktop experience makes it easy to use even if you are not comfortable using the command line. It has excellent integration with development tools, including CI/CD and Atlassian products. Most of our code development occurs on Ubuntu Linux, and it integrates deeply with development pipelines, making it straightforward to manage. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's parent company provides canonical pipelining for machine learning, ensuring compatibility and efficiency.
What needs improvement?
In the past, OpenOffice was a pain point on the Ubuntu Linux side, but now, because everything has moved to online platforms like Google Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, it's not a problem anymore.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for approximately fifteen years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is very stable. It works as expected without any major issues.

I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux directly. We had some communication through a customer where the canonical product was considered for machine learning, but not directly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are a no Windows company, using Mac or Ubuntu Linux only.
How was the initial setup?
I have deployed Ubuntu Linux hundreds of times. It can take from an hour to a few days depending on the server. However, scaling is straightforward without any issues.
What other advice do I have?
Keep my review anonymous. I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten; it's a perfect tool with no issues. The overall solution is rated ten out of ten.
