  • Review provided by G2

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

  • May 30, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

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.
