Ubuntu Linux Reviews

We are using this solution in my organization as a software development platform.

Ubuntu Linux is a very good platform for software development. If you want to deploy dependencies for a particular software on Ubuntu it is probably the easiest. If you compared it to Red Hat or any other distribution of Linux, getting the dependencies and other configurations in place is quite a hassle. We have saved time by using this solution.

Ubuntu Linux is very easy to learn, manage, and keep updated.

The solution is a little complicated to customize and could be made easier.

In a future release, the implementation of lightweight desktops and remote access for server platforms could be improved.

I have been using this solution within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable.

Ubuntu Linux is scalable. However, there could be better documentation to assist in scalability in many areas, such as PCP scanning.

We have approximately 40 people using the solution in my organization. We have plans to increase usage in the future.

It is not very difficult for us to find support for Ubuntu Linux by ourselves since we have already been using it for many years. We generally do not need support from anywhere.

The installation is easier than any other solution.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The solution is free.

I have evaluated other distributions of Linux, such as Red Hat.

I would recommend this solution to others. For those thinking about whether they should try out the solution, I would advise them to go ahead and give it it try.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I am using this solution as an operating system.

Some of the main features of this solution are it is less prone to viruses since most viruses are written for Microsoft software, and it is easy to use.

They can keep improving the solution's ability to be adopted by users by adding features, such as better tutorials and integration into the system.

In a future release, from a user perspective, they should allow the integration of Microsoft Office or other business solutions. There are free tools available but I think these solutions would allow for better business adoption.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

I have used Apple OS, Microsoft Window, and most recently started using Linux Mint.

The installation is easy and it takes approximately one hour. 

One of the benefits is you can have a dual boot of your system to allow both Ubuntu Linux and Microsoft Windows to be used.

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

This solution is free.

I would recommend this solution to others it is very stable.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for testing virtual servers and kernel-based programming.

The most valuable features are the pseudo-terminal and it is the most open-sourced operating system that can be used.

There is not a lot of support for applications in Ubuntu Linux. In the industry, most of the applications work for Windows and Mac. There should be better integration with applications in the future.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution is highly scalable. We can use any virtual hardware that we can think of, there are no boundaries with scalability.

We have five engineers that use this solution in my organization and we plan to increase usage.

I have previously used Microsoft Windows 10 and I am still using this solution for personal use.

We have five engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

This is a free solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I have been using this solution for personal use and when I was in college to do some assignments. I typically install it on virtual machines.

I found using this solution pleasurable to learn since it is something different than Windows.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

There is a large open-sourced community that is helpful. I had a lot of problems when starting out and there was plenty of assistance throughout the community. Since everyone is helping for free the support could be better. However, this is typical when you are dealing with open-sourced solutions.

The installation was very easy and it took approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation myself. I installed Ubunto Linux on virtual machines which not everyone knows how to do it. You need to have prior technical knowledge.

One of the main reason users use this solution is because it is free.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

Ubuntu is mainly required for work services, your domain name services, and internet public-facing services.

It is flexible. It's the best of both worlds.

It's secure.

There is a lot of content available online that can help you, if you have an issue. There is good community support to help you with any issues you may encounter.

There are several manuals online that are free and available to help you.

The repository needs improvement. 

The repository needs to be kept up to date all of the time.

With my previous employment, I have used Ubuntu Linux for approximately five years. 

It is not currently being used but has been used within the last year. 

We were not using the latest version. It was between version 16.4 and 18.4.

It's a stable solution.

I use a mix of different solutions, two of which are Ubuntu Linux and CentOS.

The initial setup is straightforward and it is only ten minutes maximum to deploy.

We have one engineer to maintain this solution. It is not complex. It's something you install, configure, and walk away from.

We did not use a consultant, we completed the installation ourselves.

We don't pay any fees.

I would recommend this solution, and it works quite well.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for our NFS environment. I'm a system administrator and we're customers of Ubuntu Linux. 

Compared to other solutions on the market, this is a relatively suitable and good product which is stable and easy to use. Ubuntu currently serves our OpenShift environment.

The product could be better. It lacks the ability for disk expansion and is not very suitable for our needs. I also think support could be improved thereby simplifying installation. 

I've been using this solution for six months. 

The solution is stable. 

If I need to increase the disk on Ubuntu it's just hard for us to increase in the environment so scalability is not so easy. 

We don't pay for technical support so we can't use it in Turkey. 

I've used Red Hat Enterprise and I prefer working in that enterprise environment so I prefer that solution. 

If you have two different versions, one version can't be installed on the VMware environment. It is not suitable. I carried out the deployment myself and it took quite some time and a while to understand the program. We have an admin person and an engineer dealing with Ubuntu. 

Red Hat Enterprise is very widespread in Turkey and very few use Ubuntu. I work in an enterprise environment and I prefer Red Hat Enterprise Linux because we can easily get support. Red Hat is very widespread and Red Hat support is very responsive. I don't think I would recommend Ubuntu for anyone working in an enterprise environment. I think we'll be shifting to Red Hat at some point. 

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a six out of 10. 

It is useful for web servers, email servers, and file servers. I am using its latest version.

It is open-source, secure, and easy to use.

It can have more security.

I have been using this solution for 20 years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We currently have around ten users. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

I am satisfied with their technical support.

I have used FreeBSD.

Its initial setup is straightforward. It took about 20 minutes.

I did it myself. We have a team of six engineers for deployment and maintenance. 

It is open-source. We don't have to pay for its license.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a ten out of ten.

We are using this solution for one of our projects where it requires an open-source toolchain for web application development.

The tools we are using for this project are compatible with this solution.

I have been using this solution for a couple of months.

The solution could be more stable.

We use and have previously used Windows 10 which is a lot better.

The installation does not take too much time to complete. It took approximately three hours.

We used help from an expert engineer to do the implementation. 

We do not like this solution and we are only using it because the project we are working on demands it. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a five out of ten.

We used this solution to do an integration between one of our PMS, property management systems. We integrated Opera and a cloud-based system. We use it as an interface between the Opera system, which is on a Windows server, and cloud bases system.

There should be more integration with other operating systems applications. It would be beneficial if there was a way to install Mac OS software on Linux. They could create a software patch to be able to have most of the unique Mac OS applications run on it, not Windows applications. They need to create something more user-friendly. 

Additionally, there is a lack of functionality compared to other operating systems.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is stable and performing very well. When we an issue once and there was no need to restart it completely, you just needed to log in, see the log file, and fix the issue, it is very simple. It is more scalable than Windows systems. With Windows systems, most of the time you need to restart the whole computer, or the whole server, to fix the issue. With this solution, you do not.

The solution is very scalable.

The technical support has been very responsive. Additionally, they have forums and chats as alternatives.

I used Windows and Mac OS.

The installation was very fast.

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

There is not a license needed for the solution. You only have to pay for technical support.

I plan to keep using this solution in the future as long as it is still compatible with my PMS interface. 

I would not recommend this solution to others because there is not enough support available. Most of my colleagues in my company are using software that does not support this solution. The majority of professional software packages are not supported on Linux. They need to find a solution to this problem. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a ten out of ten.

We use the solution in the company where I work as an operating system. Whenever you are doing some serious development, you deploy this solution on a Unix platform.

The main feature of the solution is it has a command-line editor.

I find the solution could be easier to use, more flexible, user-friendly, and have a better UI.

In the future, I would like to see easier deployment.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The solution is stable.

I have previously used Microsoft Windows and still do. I use this solution for personal use and when my work requires it.

The installation is easy and only takes approximately 15 minutes, but the process could improve.

I am using the free version of the solution.

I am going to continue using the solution and would recommend it to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.
