Good compatibility and improvement needed in migration process
For long-term support, it has been good because in most enterprise environments, people still use Ubuntu Linux sixteen, which is quite obsolete now. Other enterprise versions do not support obsolete systems, so supportability is good in terms of Ubuntu Linux. For sustainability, it's quite a significant point of view for every organization. For us, Ubuntu Linux is the preferable way. For others, it might not be, so that is quite a subjective matter itself. The pinpoint of the problem is that they take time because they need specific information. We need to go to AWS first, and then they'll contact the Ubuntu Linux support team itself. This creates a two-way hop for us, which is why it's not that great. It's not really Ubuntu Linux's problem but rather the way we are accessing Ubuntu Linux. The migration part when migrating an application or one version of Ubuntu Linux to another is quite hectic. During the process, one or many applications might crash. That is something they could handle themselves, but I don't think that's something Ubuntu Linux will look into. During a migration project that I was handling, Ubuntu Linux was not completely compatible for the migration process from one application to another. This is an area they could improve in migrating from minor versions to major versions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"One of the most valuable features of Ubuntu Linux is how easy it is to manage. We have some monitoring solutions, so those applications are running on top of Ubuntu. So far, the applications are running in a way that's very stable, compared to other Linux versions and flavors. In terms of redundancy and the command line, it's very easy to manage."
"Ubuntu Linux has the advantage of performance. It runs very quickly."
"I believe everything works faster than it used to in Windows."
"It is a widely used and stable solution. Community members can offer support and technical guidance."
"You can scale the solution quite well."
"The solution is very simple; I like that it doesn't get corrupted as easily as Windows, is more secure against viruses, doesn't drain much battery on laptops, is straightforward to set up, and is faster than Windows."
"It's offered as open-source, and therefore does not cost anything to use."
"I strongly recommend Ubuntu Linux to most customers."
 

Cons

"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"At times, it can be complex when we are trying to integrate or when we are trying to set up some features."
"Backoffice tools should be improved: xls and doc files should be edited with light and faster tools."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"On the desktop edition, we'd like more themes."
"The solution could improve by allowing more integration."
"Ubuntu could be improved with more container integration and orchestration of those containers."
"Ubuntu might work for a bigger company, but I don't think so. Again, you would have to get the right people to do it. You need somebody technical. If you have a bunch of people who aren't technical, then it is just going to be a headache trying to get a feel for it or teach them."
"I find the solution could be easier to use, more flexible, user-friendly, and have a better UI."
