Ubuntu - Review

  • April 16, 2019
  • Review verified 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 provides Mac reliability and speed at PC price

  • April 16, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Worry-free. When I boot up my Ubuntu laptop, I know everything is going to load quickly, function properly, and in the rare case where something goes wrong with a program, it clean up after itself. I like that, using Ubuntu, it's very easy to find apps (usually free) that do what I need with very little fuss.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside has always been that most PC game developers use restrictive development tools like dot-net and DirectX instead of better, equivalent-function cross-platform tools like OpenGL and Mono, therefore many popular games are not available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a suite of office and creative productivity applications that run natively on Ubuntu Linux - LibreOffice is a drop-in replacement for MS Office, Thunderbird replaces Outlook, and Gimp and InkScape do everything I need that I might otherwise use Adobe CS for. Aside from office tools, mostly I use Ubuntu for software development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You don't have to completely drop Windows or Mac to use Ubuntu. It can co-exist on the same computer with a little clever hard driver partitioning. I do recommend reading some basic manuals on the Linux command line, because there are some things that are just easier to do with the terminal than trying to find the right button.

Safe and user-friendly at a price that can't be beaten.

What do you like best about the product?
Aside from all the software that comes with it, there's also a vast amount of software in the "Canonical" store that can do nearly anything you need to get your computer to do, (and free for the most part).
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it can also be considered a blessing, software updates can pop up at any given time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can set the acquisition of marketing analytics as a background task, and just keep doing everything else that I need to do, without waiting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For full benefit, it's recommended that before making the switch, acquire some basic user skills in the Debian Linux genre... mainly in use of "bash" and "sh" shells. The desktop (Gnome) is easy enough to use, but using the shell via a "terminal" window, or via an "ssh" connection is a little more complex, and you will need to know your way around it, when doing administrative jobbies, to keep yourself from damaging the system files.

Using Ubuntu as server and desktop

  • April 14, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open Operating Systems is one of the easiest to use nowadays.
What do you dislike about the product?
The standard graphical interface becomes very heavy for old machines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using ubuntu without graphical interface and with samba server to store files, filtering unnecessary files. The biggest benefit was protection between computer networks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using the product, evaluate the quality of the hardware since ubuntu has several graphical interfaces according to the necessity.

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.

It's Honda of Linux distros

  • April 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Abundant availablility of packages and latest updates. Since based on Debian, packages are really easy to find. Especially the obscure command line stuff are all in the repository.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have couple Redhat servers and serveral Ubuntu servers and it just seems to kernel panic more than the Redhat servers. So stability seems to be an issue from time to time. It could be hardware compability though...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting webservers, NAS, and ssh and firewalls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's no real barrier to entry especially since it's free and there's whole lot of community support. From beginners to experts. Since it's based on debian, all the userbase there can help out as well.
