Ubuntu Server Review

  • January 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- offers security updates regularly (after every 6 months), including maintenance updates as well.
- Ubuntu is also flexible enough to scale up to meet one's needs.
- Doesn't use many machine resources.
- Ubuntu Server doesnt include a GUI or a lot of the pre-packaged junk that Ubuntu Desktop does. As a result, there are major increases in performance since the operating system doesnt have to process having a GUI open at the same time as running servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
- There is a lot of software out there that you can't get due to Ubuntu. For instance, Microsoft softwares, Visual Studio or Photoshop softwraes as well. One might argue that there similar softwares out there which miight work the same as the Microsoft programs, but they are not the same.
- Ubuntu has too many releases too quickly, too many LTS rolling. They should spend more time on current build release rather than ticking up main version number for some of their changes.
-
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Servers are affordable, they are helping our business reduce costs within the existing IT infrastructures. Ubuntu Servers are providing maximum efficiency, delivering results with fewer resources and less computing power, and running on all our major architectures.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Be hands on when learning how to use Ubuntu Server. With more exposure you will soon get the hang of it.Some people might feel it challenging to install programs through terminals. A basic understanding of commands is needed while installing some programs/software.Ubuntu server one of the best of my go-to server software for a whie now. I feel I can do anything from set up an email server for my company. I can also create an SMS service to communicate with my team via messaging. Try it out!

Easy way to Setup and Deploy Your Application Server

  • January 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mostly the main thing I like from Ubuntu Server is that it is a really easy Server SO to setup a linux environment to deploy your applications.
And if you are deploying your server on a cloud provider it is even better! I have been deploying Linux Server on Azure and Google Cloud Platform and I haven't had any mayor issues so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, Ubuntu is by far the best and easiest linux distro to setup. I don't have mayor complaints about it.
Sometimes it is quite challenging to setup the permission scheme for different users, but I'd say that that's a generalized issue on all linux servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main use of Ubuntu Server to me is to deploy Web Application Servers. Mostly tomcat servers in which I host my web applications and REST Services. My test and production environments are Ubuntu Server 18.04.5
