Ubuntu Linux Reviews

We mainly use this solution for application-related uses. We use it as our main Linux platform of choice. 

One of the best features is that it is constantly updated.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for more than 15 years.

Ubuntu Linux is both stable and scalable.

I have never contacted their support team.

We actually use both Ubuntu Linux and CentOS, but CentOS is being decommissioned so our choice is Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Linux was very easy to deploy. You can install Ubuntu in many different ways and all of them are pretty straightforward. I also have a lot of experience with Ubuntu, so for me, the initial installation is very easy.

A team of four people is required for maintenance and deployment.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Ubuntu Linux a rating of ten. More people should use this solution.

On-premises

I find the Linux community very valuable and the fact it is open source. So it's free and I use it without any problems.

I'd like their updates to be better and some other official programs, as well as the user interface. They aren't as user-friendly as Microsoft. The solution can use a better UI.

I've been using the solution for four years.

I find the solution stable.

For me, the solution is scalable.

I prefer to use the community, rather than technical support. I'm able to solve my problems using the community. It's easy to find answers to my questions.

We use Covernity for cloud infrastructure, but for disk management, I use Unbuntu.

I would advise those thinking about using Ubuntu to be patient and don't switch to Windows.

I would rate the solution as 7 out of 10, because some platforms aren't as easy for users.

We use the solution to run our business applications.

The solution works well. It represents the standard product in our field. 

The solution could be more user-friendly, as I use Mac on a day to day basis. 

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for five years. 

The solution is definitely stable. 

The solution is definitely scalable. 

In our experience with customer service we have definitely been satisfied. 

The installation did not propose an issue for me as I was not involved in this process. 

We have a company which helped us with the installation. 

All the people involved are technical. 

The solution is open source and its use is included in the monthly fees we pay.

The solution provides good security. 

It is both on-premises and cloud-based. 

The solution really fulfills our purposes for the moment, so there is not much to note by way of improvement. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten. 

Our primary use case is for implementing anything that's open source, like a network monitoring tool or anything connected to network, security or vulnerability scanning. It can all be done with Linux. 

The solution is open source and free with a fast OS.

The installation of Ubuntu is somewhat complicated. It requires searching online forums and installation takes time. If there was additional training and documentation available, better support for integration, that would be helpful. The UI could be improved. 

I've been using this solution for over 20 years. 

For business, the initial deployment is straightforward. If additional hard disk is required, then that will be difficult. Deployment took around 20 minutes and I believe we have around 10 users. 

The solution is open source, so no licensing costs.

I recommend this solution if it's appropriate to your needs. 

I rate this product a seven out of 10. 

On-premises

Most of our customers use Ubuntu Linux to host their websites. We configure Apache or Nginx and troubleshoot them. If their applications are down, we check the servers. If the server goes down or there is an issue, we look into them.

Ubuntu Linux is user-friendly through the command line. The packages inside the repository are built-in, which allows for easy installation from the server environment without relying on third-party applications. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux supports remote troubleshooting via SSH, allowing connection from anywhere, which is beneficial for troubleshooting server issues.

We face minor issues with the regular upgrade; manual upgrades are required. There have been network configuration issues, specifically with netplan.yaml. Unlike CentOS, Ubuntu Linux lacks an easily accessible inbuilt repository where dependencies or packages are easily found.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for about one and a half years.

Deploying on-premises can take about twenty minutes, but with a good network, it can be faster. For cloud deployments via our jump servers, it takes less than ten minutes.

I have had no issues with the stability of Ubuntu Linux.

I find Ubuntu Linux scalable with no complaints.

The support can be tough as immediate answers are not always available. However, Ubuntu Linux has a comprehensive knowledge base for self-help.

Positive

We have experience using CentOS. It allows direct root login, offering root privileges immediately.

The initial setup of Ubuntu Linux is easy.

The cost is not much, and I am not sure about the licensing cost because a separate team handles it.

We have used CentOS and are familiar with it.

I would recommend using Ubuntu Linux as it is easy to handle. The biggest benefit is the ability to connect through SSH for remote troubleshooting. My total rating for Ubuntu Linux is ten out of ten.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux as the primary operating system for our developers and many people we work with.

Ubuntu Linux is the most secure option on the market. For business-focused people, a Mac is preferred, but for developers, Ubuntu Linux is better. Ubuntu Linux's good desktop experience makes it easy to use even if you are not comfortable using the command line. It has excellent integration with development tools, including CI/CD and Atlassian products. Most of our code development occurs on Ubuntu Linux, and it integrates deeply with development pipelines, making it straightforward to manage. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's parent company provides canonical pipelining for machine learning, ensuring compatibility and efficiency.

In the past, OpenOffice was a pain point on the Ubuntu Linux side, but now, because everything has moved to online platforms like Google Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, it's not a problem anymore.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for approximately fifteen years.

Ubuntu Linux is very stable. It works as expected without any major issues.

I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux directly. We had some communication through a customer where the canonical product was considered for machine learning, but not directly.

Neutral

We are a no Windows company, using Mac or Ubuntu Linux only.

I have deployed Ubuntu Linux hundreds of times. It can take from an hour to a few days depending on the server. However, scaling is straightforward without any issues.

Keep my review anonymous. I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten; it's a perfect tool with no issues. The overall solution is rated ten out of ten.
