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.

An open-source operating system that provides good flexibility and security

  • January 19, 2024
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use Ubuntu Linux as an operating system for the installations we do on any of the servers. It's an open-source solution that is easy to customize.

What is most valuable?

Ubuntu Linux has good security features and a lot of software compatibility. Not many operating systems support software like MicroStrategy, but Ubuntu Linux is quite flexible and provides all the interfaces and compatibility for different software.

What needs improvement?

Ubuntu Linux is not easy to use because its interface is quite tricky. People with a Windows background may not find the solution's user interface user-friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution. Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were previously using Windows. We switched to Ubuntu Linux because it was flexible and secure.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial installation is difficult, and you would need a Linux administrator.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Ubuntu Linux is an open-source operating system.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the cloud version of Ubuntu Linux. Users can choose Ubuntu Linux if they have a vast environment and want a secure and scalable operating system.

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

Has an easy setup process, but the GUI needs improvement

  • January 18, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the product for end-user applications and site management across workstations and servers within our environment.

What is most valuable?

Ubuntu Linux's most valuable feature is its open-source nature.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement, particularly in the GUI aspect of the product. We encounter issues while accessing GUI compared to Red Hat or CentOS. The simulation tools could be easy to use and facilitate efficient integration with remediation tools similar to Duo on CentOs.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Ubuntu Linux for six or seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is better than that of other open-source platforms.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Red Hat before.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend user-friendly options like Ubuntu or CentOS for those venturing into Linux for the first time. They provide easier configurations as well. They should also explore Rocky Linux, a free and open-source distribution similar to CentOS. They have a good open-source community. However, sometimes, it isn't easy to find resolutions. This particular area needs improvement.

I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We are planning to use the solution for hosting, but we haven't yet started anything. It is still in the testing phase.

What is most valuable?

Ubuntu Linux is an easy-to-use solution.

The solution could improve its GUI personalization. The solution's in-built version does not have many applications like File Explorer. Ubuntu Linux is more suitable for new beginners. It would be good if applications could be pre-built into the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for two to three months.

A stable solution that is free of cost and provides good customer support

  • January 18, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is most valuable?

I use Ubuntu Linux to update some drivers related to some of my work.

What needs improvement?

Windows can automatically detect the drivers of new devices, and you can easily use them in the Windows system. Ubuntu Linux does not easily detect the drivers of new devices, and you need to do some trial and error for some of the third parties porting into it.

Ubuntu Linux should improve its embedded hardware so that users can work easily. In order to use multiple embedded devices with Ubuntu Linux, I need to add some device drivers.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around three to four people are using the solution in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is good. We get quick answers to our queries on Ubuntu forums.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux because of the cost. If I want to buy a Windows license, it will take thousands of rupees in Indian currency, but Ubuntu Linux is free of cost.

What about the implementation team?

The solution's installation hardly takes a few minutes, depending on the software size.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are using Ubuntu Linux free of cost, and there is no licensing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated other options like CentOS. I felt Ubuntu Linux was good compared to other solutions in terms of support.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.
