A stable solution to manage large amounts of Linux devices with fewer vulnerabilities
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Firstly, the attack surface is a lot smaller. There are fewer vulnerabilities. If you look at a list of CVEs, you will see that while many systems are targeted, fewer attacks focus on Ubuntu than other operating systems because Ubuntu is highly customizable. You can configure it exactly how you want, secure it thoroughly, and turn off unnecessary services, yet it will still function properly. Unlike a Windows machine with numerous dependencies, Ubuntu can operate efficiently with only the essential components enabled.
What needs improvement?
The stability could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable. It depends on the use case. If you try to use it as a multifunction server—such as a file, print, and logging server all at once—it may not perform optimally. However, if you use it for a single dedicated function, it is one of the best options available. I rate it a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are effective ways to manage large amounts of Linux devices remotely, but it requires knowledgeable personnel. While business tools exist for managing Linux, it's more complex than using Windows, which level one or two technicians can manage. For Linux, you often need specialists. However, Ubuntu Linux's free licensing and open-source nature can reduce overall costs despite the need for skilled administrators.
How are customer service and support?
There are enough forums and other means of support for Ubuntu Linux that you don't need official group support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup will be easy. Once you start using it, you will manage the rest of it. Although it can become quite technical, a lot of support is available. You can disable any services you don't need, ensuring no unnecessary ports are open. Unlike Windows, which allows everything by default until specifically restricted, Linux keeps everything closed and only opens what is necessary.
You've got thirty steps and multiple other forums anyway.
What other advice do I have?
We are using Ubuntu Linux for a specific task. Based on our experience, it is very efficient. Instead of using a Windows server for easy access, we have set up a new server tailored for manual users. Despite this, some users still rely on a Windows server. However, when I use a Linux cluster, it works very well. All my users interact with it seamlessly.
Play it first to get the skills before diving into anything complex. Start with simple tasks, like setting up an email server. Once you have those basics working, you can move on to more advanced tasks. We often find that Windows users tend to set things up in a certain way because they are familiar with Windows. Therefore, it's important to understand what you are doing from the start. Once you have a good foundation, it will be smooth sailing.
We have tried various approaches from a Linux point of view. We still support those, and I have a specialist tool that can efficiently support them.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?
The deployment can be done in an hour. Our technical team deployed the tool in our organization. The number of people needed for the deployment depends on the scale of deployment. One person is enough to deploy the solution in one system. More people would be required if we needed 100 servers.
What other advice do I have?
If Ubuntu is required for your application, you should use it. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Customizable product with robust security features
What is our primary use case?

This caters to a wide range of system and user needs. Its Linux-based nature makes it preferred among technical professionals, including developers and network administrators.
What needs improvement?
The main challenge is restoring the system from a crashed state, which can be complicated for non-technical users. However, with experience, this becomes more manageable.

The setup process for the product is straightforward, offering both graphical and non-graphical installation options. Improvements could include bug fixes, enhancements, and upgrades, which are typically addressed in future releases.
What about the implementation team?
Implementing Ubuntu is easy and can be done in-house without the need for external support. Creating a bootable USB installer and following the installation process is typically all that's required.
What was our ROI?
Since Ubuntu is freely available for download and use, there is virtually no investment required, resulting in a high ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Ubuntu is essentially free to download and use, making it accessible to anyone without the need for licensing costs.
What other advice do I have?

Its reliability makes it suitable for both personal and enterprise use.
The product is excellent for individuals or organizations seeking a free and reliable operating system. It is well-suited for technical users, developers, and those working in data centers or network environments.
I rate the product a nine out of ten for its overall performance and reliability.
Ubuntu- best choice among unix
What do you like best about the product?
Stability is the main advantage over the other counterparts. I felt more user friendly environment over the GUI of ubuntu compared to others. Everything is well optimized and integration of 3rd party sotwares and tools are hazzle free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have been using for past 3 years. I haven't encountered any major issues from ubuntu. Just that reboot can take some more time compared to some other linux distributions in my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting apache, mysql and integration of these. Its also available for major cloud platforms and therefore, the ease of transmissioning to crossplatforms is not an issue.
An eay-to-use solution with pro security features and packages
What is most valuable?
The tool's valuable feature is its pro security features. I also like the way it serves the infrastructure. The main thing is that each new update or version ensures it comes out with zero vulnerabilities—no high, medium, or low vulnerabilities.
Ubuntu Linux's main benefits are its ease of use and the large number of available packages. Additionally, it benefits from regular patching.
What needs improvement?
I want more insights and security features in the pro version, specifically activities and vulnerabilities. When releasing a new version, it's crucial to ensure no vulnerabilities. Sometimes, a new version may have minor vulnerabilities, like one medium and one low. These typically take about two weeks to resolve. More regular patching, especially addressing security vulnerabilities, is essential to improve.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for many years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Ubuntu Linux's deployment an eight out of ten. We encountered some version issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am quite happy with the tool's scalability. My company has 50 users who use it regularly.
How are customer service and support?
The support has been good overall. We haven't needed it often, only raising a few support tickets in two years, and they were all resolved within two days. So, I'm quite happy with them.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We work with Alpine Linux and offer them to enterprises as well. Compared to other operating systems, Ubuntu Linux is easier to use and has more up-to-date packages. It also has more packages in the repository. However, Ubuntu Linux sometimes bundles many unnecessary packages, making it difficult to strip down the OS to make it more secure.
How was the initial setup?
Ubuntu Linux's deployment is easy. We usually spin it up with scripts. We have many scripts for various tasks, including updates and backups, and it didn't take much to put them together. We spend less than half an hour to get a basic setup, and then we can deploy within minutes. We have about two employees handling maintenance and patching on a yearly basis for many applications. That's more than sufficient.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to other companies and users. It's a very good OS, although it sometimes requires some effort to deploy applications.
