Ubuntu has a good community, availability of packages and resources
What do you like best?
The ability to use various packages for development and security testing. The frequency of security updates also feels safer to use the platform compared to other we use in our work space.
What do you dislike?
As a primary windows user, the missing of drivers and common functionalities makes the user experience a tad bit difficult to navigate but with the inclusion of desktop environments some of the issues might be resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our organization, we have multiple windows environment for various purpose. Our applications are developed on the same OS, some of our security testers have migrated to windows due to the improved support of various tools. The resources available for ubuntu works great to know and solve issues we face during our day to day work.

Best OS I have ever seen
What do you like best?
Firstly it is open source software, that's the best thing, we could do all the modifications that we need according to end users priority and it is very secure than windows operating system

It is less user friendly than windows operating systems, it requires commands to do certain tasks and not everyone couldn't do that. People with less technical knowledge users may have trouble

Ubuntu - the developer first OS
What do you like best?
The power we have while using Ubuntu is unimaginable. It is as if we are the creators of the software. The ability to customize it as we want and the ease with which we can install third-party software is simply superb.
What do you dislike?
Well, there is something which I don't like a bit. It is the amount of power the user has while using it. When the user doesn't know much about all those commands and if they simply run commands found online without much knowledge of them will not be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Ubuntu is solving is, it is taking away all the unnecessary (or too much) graphics from the user which is present by default in a few other software. It is giving that option to the user and is letting them decide what they want.
The Gateway To Linux
What do you like best?
Sleek functioning, small size, free of cost and easy to use for an entrant into the world of Linux.
What do you dislike?
Not too many business softwares- equivalent of word, powerpoint, photoshop etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allowed me to move into development and host web apps easily. It allowed me to transition into using Linux by first choosing Ubuntu which is not as detached from Windows as some of the other advanced Linux kernels like Kali.
Super fast and open source OS for developers
What do you like best?
Most of our system runs on Ubuntu. It is a free and open-source OS for everyone. The best thing about Ubuntu is its accessibility through the terminal. We can do every tasks through the terminal, which can be done in Windows. This OS is the best practitioner of coding for developers. It is easy to use and a super fast OS. We can customize it as per our needs too.
What do you dislike?
Ubuntu is a little bit hard for Windows users. It is not designed for non-IT people as this operating system has no graphical interface. It is totally run over the terminal or coding interface. Other than that, I don't think it has any flaws in this operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly in my company, we work on Ubuntu as it is a powerful OS without GUI interface. The non-IT person didn't interfere with the technical person's work, as Ubuntu is a secured OS due to its terminal interface. It is cost-effective too. Ubuntu operating system is providing professional growth and becoming more productive day by day.
Ubuntu a great OS
What do you like best?
Ubuntu is very similar to Rehdat Linux, and commands are straightforward like any other Linux. The main attraction towards Ubuntu is its freeware license. Earlier we were on Windows server and then we plan to move it to linux, then idea came up to our mind is to switch to ubuntu and if things goes well then we can go for Oracle Redhat Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
Security wise its superb. Support is also very nice. Even we can get troubleshooting commands of ubuntu while searching it on any engine.

What do you dislike?
As of now, Ubuntu is fulfilling all our criteria and we have achieved more than what we thought so we dont have any dislikes about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier we were on Windows server and then we desperately want to migrate to linux. Then idea came up to our mind and we switch it to ubuntu and in our initial days we thought if things goes well then we can further migrate it Oracle Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
In wndows there were many security concerns which were fixed in Ubuntu. And if we will talk about performance, then its way better than windows

OS of choice for experimental servers.
What do you like best?
A well-maintained linux distro that handles all the traditional server elements easily and without any extra effort. When working on our experimental server software, we don't have to worry about a package we need not being available or compatible.
What do you dislike?
Being open source, and adding the packages you need can create security vulnerabilities, especially if you lose track of all the packages in use so you don't eventually realize you are still using something with a known issue that could have been removed or secured. It can also be challenging to teach someone else to use with no GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Ubuntu for the experimental server gives us more control and the capacity to modify the operating system itself as needed easily. The cost (or lack of) also makes it easy to install on any new or existing equipment.
