What do you like best about the product?
One of the hardest linux distro to work on, but really one of the most exciting, I would say it's much more harder than Red Hat, Fedora and Ubuntu alone. Something should really be on obstacle, otherwise why to learn there anyway at all.

Good, stable operating system

  • September 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As this is the base that Ubuntu was built from, there is a lot of software that is targeting Debian/Ubuntu. Most software that is available for Ubuntu is also available for Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not for everyone. Linux on the desktop is great for a technical person, but not yet suitable for a non-technical user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Desktop environment. Some of our servers run Debian, both in staging & in production. Docker is also a technology we use and this works very well with Debian. We use Debian to support our continuous integration and continuous deployment set-ups for many of our customers.

Debian a Linux OS

  • July 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Most interesting thing about Debian is more stable and secured your system from malware. even it detects external devices whether they affected by virus or not. so file crashing is avoided. as in Windows affected devices may affect internal files also. Recovery doesn't take too much time once it get interrupted. due to stability and more secured function user for server handling. Not a big deal to use it. Thousand of applications are run without any bug.
What do you dislike about the product?
graphical interface is not like Windows so its use by only official workers who are a part of something, Its not that much interesting for those who are running OS for gaming and who works with desktop packages. finding of Devloper packages gives error sometimes while using terminal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a official task are has to be more secured which may get affected in Windows so to avoid this we are using Debian in some of our Desktop machine. working on it. with lots of applications. as a secured storage saving files on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for machine with lower specification want a security from malware withuo

Stable, safe and robust operating system.

  • July 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With Debian I have a very well developed and stable Linux Operating System, I can program and adapt my projects very well with this system. Debian is the most stable system that Linux has, with a very large community of experts who constantly give updates and improvements.

Debian allows me to have many options, I can use it to control networks, servers, and personal computers, with an easy, fast and secure desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Debian is a very advanced system but difficult to configure, it is difficult for new users in the Linux world to enter with this large distribution, many programs must be installed separately for proper operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have Debian installed on my personal PC, there I can have everything in one place, create softwares, modify Debian to my needs, control networks of my work site and have server options and everything from an operating system, with its graphical interface and Desktop I can surf the internet very well and do many things with a single Operating System on my PC.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Debian to users with experience in programming and Free Software, it is a very robust system but complex in many things.
With Debian you can have a virus-free personal PC and configure networks with server programs, all from the same Operating System.

Debian, Robust and safe

  • July 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The "Debian" operating system is robust, powerful and stable free software that guarantees the applications installed on this platform work optimally and correctly. Its documentation and the post of help are very varied on the internet and it has command like MAN that offers the syntax of all the commands of the operating system by the console .. Actually have an operating system that does not generate the concerns of its operation and freedom of viruses is a minor burden for the user that increases their productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is how difficult it is to install some applications because of the dependencies that are not installed in the system. So you spend time installing and downloading internet Internet programs and install it, where sometimes the dependencies installed depend on others and so on. Another of the negative aspects of debian is its graphic interface which is very elementary and unattractive to end users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among the benefits of debian for the institute, is that it increased the speed of the personal computers to work with the program tools, since it does not require a powerful hardware to work with Debian. The other beneficial aspect is that with linux, computer viruses are null and this guarantees the integrity of the files and minimizes the loss of information
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If I would recommend Debian for those companies with obsolete equipment, with few resources to buy software licenses, where their technical service department is limited in number of workers and want to increase the productivity of their workers. I would also recommend it to install all the network services such as Internet Servers, Web Services, IP assignment, mail servers among others

Debian

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Debian, is that the virus problem does not exist, I have more than 3 years of experience, working almost daily with Debian. I have not found a file that can not be read or manipulated even if it has a computer virus. Regardless of whether I have a virus file because I have been working on Windows, only this detail makes me want to Debian. In my case I consider myself a programmer who loves to do my processes and not use the routines already done, with debian I can program my routines and tasks for the operating system, I can modify the existing ones to adapt them to my needs
It is ideal for those who perform administration services, such as IP allocation, user license management, web services, database services, among others.
For these reasons and many more I love Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is the installation of its packages, some programs to install them must be an expert, since it has many dependency problems installed, which causes the person in charge of the installation of the programs to lose a large amount of productive time, trying to execute a program by locating each unit separately and installing it. Another aspect that I do not like is that its graphic interface is very unattractive, if I have already worked with Windows or Mac, although in the latest versions it has improved, but nowadays it is still unattractive, which makes the desktop worker feel uncomfortable Another aspect, although it could be seen as an advantage, they updated their systems and programs compatible with Debian almost daily, but this forces the technicians to update each command so that their programs are more efficient and consume productive time. work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is to be able to efficiently use the computers of the Ministry since most of them have an outdated hardware configuration, Pentium IV, core-duo. Debian allows machines to be used to perform desktop jobs, such as working with text editors and spreadsheets efficiently and quickly.
For the administration of the operating system service, Debian makes it very easy for the people in charge of those tasks, facilitating the proper use of the Ministry's information platform.
Another aspect that generates benefits is that the software is free and there are no limits for the user to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it for those organizations whose computers have hardware configurations with few resources or obsolete that generate problems for users to run office programs and other installed software. Also for those companies that want to install and manage their IP allocation services, manage their web domain, control the security of their users, offer database services, among others. I would also recommend it Also for those companies that want to save money, in not buying licenses and that allows you to have no user limitations to use the operating system

Debian the most stable operating system based on Linux

  • May 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Debian is undoubtedly the philosophy of the operating system in which safety and stability prevail over all this is why developers often choose outdated versions of some applications that are considered safer and without bug known, this is why Debian is used especially in servers.

Another important aspect to choose Debian are its repositories in which we can find thousands of totally free software applications that prevent us from having to search for the software on the internet putting at risk the security of our equipment, this software available in the repositories is reviewed by a team specialized of people who collaborate with Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most important problem that most operating systems based on Linux have is that they can not use certain applications since they are only available in Windows operating systems, so in order to use it we must resort to application emulators and the configuration of these is not especially simple for ordinary users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We chose Debian because we consider it important to work with stable and secure computers because we store sensitive information in our computers, we also looked for an operating system that would allow us to work continuously without problems of bugs in applications that would waste our time, in Debian we found the solution thanks to its application repository.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a stable operating system, free and without bugs to work Debian is undoubtedly the operating system that you must choose, it is also known to be a very safe operating system. I also recommend that before using it you can make sure that the applications you use are available in the repository.
