Ubuntu Experience

  • September 13, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When you want to promote the world of FOSS, you look directly at Ubuntu. I love the package it presents for a starting user and it's lovely pricetag of being free!
What do you dislike about the product?
If only they came up with a solution to support Microsoft Office, I mean it runs on Android right? That's Linux in its core as well. If they did, they will dominate Windows!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is light on resources, free and it open to all kinds of customization we need in the corporate world. It allows us to get things done, the way we need in just about the right workspace we can tailor.

Best and most popular open source OS

  • September 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
From installing the OS, installing different packages, monitoring, security everything is straightforward in Ubuntu. The CLI is even very easy to handle and to work on. It has very user friendly GUI. It is very light OS than windows in terms of system requirements and performance. If you are familier with command line , the "apt" command litrally does everything for you from installing ,removing,updating any installed package. Also it is better to do multiple manual processes to install single thing. Also Ubuntu's packages and dependencies are eaisly available so its easy for your deployments. Every ubuntu release provides 5 years or support for the updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much thing to dislike about Ubuntu. One thing there are too many patches and very frequent patches are released. The other one is when we install any package, its very difficult to remove the package dependencies. Though we use purge, we need to check and remove all the dependencies if they are not totally removed. So to keep the env clean you have to either autoremove the dependencies or check manually for the remaining packages from DPKG to remove it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The CLI is very easy to use. You don't need too much of industry experience to understand the process or how to work on this. The installation of any work environment is really easy with the comands. Managing security with WAF or security groups or monitoring through integrated third party apps. It is better to use this OS than to purchase an expensive license for the same work which Ubuntu provides. IT is also easy for me to setup the system or environment for the developers and also to work on that. We can integrate multiple tech with ubuntu very easily , if we want to use third party packages or databases or storage system or any other thing. Also it is very easy to keep the working env of multiple developers on the same stack if we use Ansible with it.

A good balance for an entry into open source operating systems

  • September 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When you mention Linux to a normal user, they are very easily intimidated mentioning how complicated it is to setup and use vs Windows operating systems. Ubuntu sets out to change all of that and has perfect balance between being user-friendly while still maintaining everything Linux stands for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newer versions of Ubuntu are now relying on better graphics hardware. While it does look nice, I wish they would go for more lighter approach for the default editions, and if required a more fancy setup for those who have the hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For small and medium business enterprises, software licensing costs can be a huge burden, especially in developing countries. Ubuntu allows you to explore the world of free and open source on a native level.

Using Ubuntu in Windows

  • September 09, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the best alternative if you do not want to install virtual machine. It's installed inside WSL which is a built-in feature from Windows itself. So we can use Ubuntu like in its native OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only minus in WSL because it does not provide a GUI for us to use. It's only like a headless ubuntu and the only way we can use is from the command. If you're new to Linux, it can be a trouble.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we are developing something especially softwares, we want to deploy the app as soon as possible to the server. Using Ubuntu Desktop can help me to deploy faster without installing another OS.
