Ubuntu Server - getting better every year

  • January 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a great product, and the server distro is really nice. They've done a great job continuing to improve on all aspects of Linux server, and even some of the historically bad aspects. For example, their adoption of snap packages to overcome some of the problems with delay in the LTS repos.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm confused as to why Ubuntu (and other Linux distros) are so intent on implementing ZFS and adding to its functionality. It's really almost useless at this point as platform or cloud-level storage improvements have made ZFS far less helpful. If you're running on bare metal or have storage systems that can't do modern functions, then I guess it can be useful but for me, it's too much complexity for what it's worth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great open-source server OS that can be used as for just about any application - from low-end, small footprint all the way to high-end, high performance. We've taken advantage of it's LXD support for our DevOps teams, including Docker containers.

The graphics is clear and upto the mark. Picture quality is very good. Command line editor with nano is very fast, colourful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Default left side menu dislike for small screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With 18.04 server, by using only 1 gb of ram & 1vCpu I can run 2 web server of PHP v7.4, 7.3, 7.2 , and node 10.x . Also running elastic search , MySQL 5.7, Magento 2.4 with good performance.

Using virtual memory I got benefit over 1gb ram.

Ubuntu is Love

  • January 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how secure Ubuntu is. Unlike windows, any problem in ubuntu can be solved on our own. They have a great community called askubuntu, where we can ask questions, and it's solved within no time.

Upgrading to a new version is very easy.
It's secure
It's fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that the initial setup can be painful for non-ubuntu users. Ubuntu is power-intensive; it consumes too much power. The battery is drained very frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a DevOps professional, and I need a Linux-based operating system. And Ubuntu stands out among all Linux-based available OSs.
I use it to connect to cloud servers, running python locally for testing my programs. Shell scripting is so easy on Linux. I love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're into DevOps, you have to use Ubuntu. You'll love it.
