The product is easy to use and has excellent performance and availability

  • December 20, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution as a backend production server. We run our Docker containers on Ubuntu. We mainly use it for automotive charging software.

What is most valuable?

The product is easy to use. I like the tool’s performance and availability.

What needs improvement?

The product must provide integrated security solutions. I use third-party security solutions now.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two to four years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Currently, we are trying to implement our solution with the Kubernetes environment. We need horizontal scalability, not vertical. When we need more capacity, we add another server and distribute the load onto the new server.

How are customer service and support?

We do not use support because the answers in the community forums are enough for us. If we gain more customers in the future, we might need support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Windows before. I like Ubuntu’s performance compared to Windows.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is really straightforward. It is not complex. We develop DevOps scripts to deploy it. It takes only one or two hours. If the hardware is available, then it will take only one hour. We prepare the hardware environment and deploy the solution. After that, we deploy the Docker container environment. Then, we run the whole software. The product is deployed on-premises because we are still in the testing phase. We have a small number of customers. In the future, we will try to migrate to the cloud.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is cheap compared to Windows. We pay a yearly license fee. I rate the pricing a four out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I do my job directly on the terminal server. Ubuntu is a good choice. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

A stable solution that is easy to access and deploy and has a helpful community of users

  • December 18, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The solution is used for sandboxing and testing. We also have our production servers in Linux sometimes.

How has it helped my organization?

The product is easy to access and deploy. There are a lot of communities that help administrators with any challenges. Good support is available over the Internet. It is quite helpful for creating any server. Many communities are working on the upcoming advanced features and making them easier for the end users.

What is most valuable?

The integration with other solutions like Apache is valuable.

What needs improvement?

Official support is low. We’re mostly dependent on community users. The vendor must provide an official support team. Administration is a challenge. We need good skills for implementation.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for 10 to 12 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is quite stable. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool is scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We usually publish our web servers on it. It is for production purposes. Five to six people from our organization are working on Linux administration. We also have developers developing applications on it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used CentOS. CentOS is now decommissioned, so we moved to Ubuntu Linux.

How was the initial setup?

I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. Ubuntu is a command-line tool. It will be a bit of a challenge for new users. The cloud deployment takes four to six hours. If we already have VMs on-premise, we can deploy them in four to six hours. We just need to install an image and build it in. Nowadays, we have readymade images available as a container. It hardly takes one hour to get the server up and running. One person is enough for the deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is open-sourced.

What other advice do I have?

If someone wants to create cheap servers, Ubuntu Linux is the best choice. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

A stable and free solution that is easy to deploy and has a user-friendly GUI

  • August 28, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We can use the solution for browsing. We can also use it as a server and deploy and configure it as a file or web server. The use case depends on the user. I use it to deploy something which I want to test out. If I have to test out ELK Stack, I might use Ubuntu because it’s free.

What is most valuable?

The GUI is user-friendly.

What needs improvement?

The solution must provide more integrations.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution from time to time whenever I require it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am using the solution for my personal needs. It is possible to increase the number of users depending on who uses it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Windows. I use Ubuntu only for testing purposes. Some things can only be tested on Linux.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to deploy the OS. The product can be used on the cloud as well. However, I have deployed it on my own laptop.

What about the implementation team?

I deployed the solution myself. We have to follow the standard OS deployment process to deploy the tool. We do not need any consultation. We might need a live CD, or we can download the image from the Internet. We can boot from the USB and just follow the instructions. It will be deployed.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is no licensing cost for the product.

What other advice do I have?

Ubuntu improves its products every year. Earlier, the GUI was not good, so Ubuntu improved it. They have removed the complexity of the software. My recommendation depends on people’s use cases. If someone wants to test something that is more stable on Ubuntu, they can use the solution. They can use other Linux flavors like Red Hat, too. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
