Real alternative to Windows

  • April 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Years ago I changed my operating system for Ubuntu because my Windows system got infected and I lost some things of not much value but I was clear that I did not want to continue being a user of such a vulnerable system. Ubuntu found a system based on the kernel of Linux much more secure not only by the system itself, but not being so popular was not the goal of malicious users.

What I liked the most about Ubuntu was that I did not need any antivirus system to feel safe in my operating system since, the antivirus is something that has almost no use in the Linux world and of course I have not used it for a long time.

Another thing that I liked most about Ubuntu and Linux was that most of the alternative programs were open source and therefore the content of the code was public so that I knew perfectly well that no malicious developer was doing an improper use of my operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything is positive in Ubuntu / Linux, the main problem of Linux are the software limitations that exist because many of the applications that we have in Windows do not exist in Linux, not even free software alternatives, due to this we must resort to emulators like Wine to try to make the software work, in many cases it is too much work for a user with little knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Ubuntu solves both in my work and in my personal desktop in my home is that of security, using Linux I can surf calmly and install applications directly from the repositories without fear of my system being infected and vulnerable to data theft sensitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Ubuntu mainly in enterprise environments due to the security implemented by Linux-based operating systems, especially in the network layer. Also another advantage of Ubuntu user is that the operating system is free in its entirety, as well as the software it uses.

Ubuntu. Your ideal operating system.

  • April 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Ubuntu is that it takes advantage of your computer's resources to operate, offering the highest possible performance. It is a delight to use Ubuntu.
Additionally, it is in a constant process of updating, growth, and improvement, thanks to the large number of users working selflessly on the project from an economic point of view, as Ubuntu can also be downloaded and used in any environment for free.
The Ubuntu interface is very intuitive and has program repositories that, with an Internet connection, will allow us to download free software of all kinds, such as word processors, spreadsheets, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Ubuntu is that it does not quite have the support of the international user community. Being defenestrated by many software companies that do not release compatible versions with this operating system due to pure commercial interests. Additionally, understanding and learning to use this operating system takes a lot of study, effort, and practice, and it should be noted that for beginner users, it can be difficult to handle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is used on our server to maintain a DHCP, control all subnets, and apply a firewall to enhance security in our company. It is also used as an educational tool along with virtual machines to learn how to create domains and join clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a great operating system, free and efficient. To take advantage of all the resources of your machine and exploit them efficiently, you will not find a better alternative.

Ubuntu - Review

  • April 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is, Linux distribution which means that this solution like other Linux distributions is available completely free of charge. The advantage of Ubuntu, which reassured me in choosing this distribution is the fact that it has an excellent graphical interface similar to competitive systems available on the market. Another advantage of Ubuntu is that the system is supported on an ongoing basis and very often there are updates and security patches. The significant advantage of using Ubuntu is that we don't need to use antivirus software, because Linux-based systems are very secure. Ubuntu is a distribution that allows for large customization, so each user can customize the system to suit his or her needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't notice any significant flaws when using Ubuntu except for:

- the Ubuntu graphical interface is very demanding for the computer.

- All developers do not yet support Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using Ubuntu, I can safely use my computer without having to purchase a license for the operating system and antivirus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a secure system that you can customize for your needs, you should consider trying Ubuntu, because this distribution is available completely free of charge even for Windows users.

Ubuntu is efficiency, quality and economy in a single operating system

  • April 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ubuntu is an operating system that I like because it is free open source software that gives programmers the opportunity to have a free license operating system, that is, free of cost and with features and functionalities that make it a tool for great utility and ease to develop codes and programs easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
is a great free software that allows you to optimize various tasks that we could not with other operating systems, however when working and modifying Windows documents that are usually complex, when we open and manipulate them they have become difficult tasks or almost impossible to work due to the low compatibility to import from Windows for Linux, which does not happen vice versa.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it has been a large distribution of Linux that has generated different opportunities and with it brings benefits that allows us to reduce problems in terms of its implementation, mainly with this operating system it solves the compatibility problem that many operating systems have with Windows, on the contrary Ubuntu is compatible, which is a great advantage over others because Windows is undoubtedly the most used worldwide, also the problems of complexity and understanding are set aside as it is easy to use and understand by programmers with Basic knowledge and in general by the end user. I consider it important that with this operating system we can leave viruses aside, since virus writers normally do not act on this Linux distribution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it because it offers advanced security features and is a free operating system and although it presents versions that require payment, it is still more accessible than Windows, and as a very important aspect we can execute and load tasks with greater efficiency than with Windows.

The ideal operating system for developers

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the most popular linux distributions. Not too much graphical elements and hence we can speed up the code writing and running process substantially. Also the apt package manager is very convenient. Easy to install on Desktops, Raspeberry pis(the lite version) and Servers free of any charge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Display and Graphic drivers still need to be improved. The version which I've been using doesn't recognize an external display hence it's very hard to present anything or mirror displays. Also the default office tools are below par and take too long to work with. Support for Nvidia drivers is one thing I would totally want to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployment of distributed ledger technology on microsoft azure, AWS, running docker containers for hyperledger, coding environment for various tools and smart contracts for hyperledger. Ubuntu servers are very convenient to host a high computing application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say it's one of the most versatile distributions. With some practice of shell programming one can easily get started with it.

I am actually working in Blockchain technology which requires fast computation time so I prefer using Ubuntu as it is very robust and fast.
