We performed a comparison between Ubuntu Linux and Windows 10 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is free to use and open-source."
"RTO with the use of templating support for VMware for fast deployment of recovery or new systems, with the least amount work needed on custom settings, within application installed from install repositories. Shorter overall time with the vetted packages. Normally install and go."
"Ubuntu has a good interface, it is easier to use than other distribution such as CentOS or Red Hat. It's suitable for beginners who want to start learning Linux. It has a simple interface and it's easy to use."
"It is stable and quite easy to use as compared to other Linux operating systems. They have created a system like Windows. It is simple and without any problems."
"Doesn't require significant manual configuration."
"It is open-source, secure, and easy to use."
"What I like best is the way in which packages are managed."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution overall works well."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient."
"Windows 10 is quite user friendly."
"Windows 10 is easy to use. I like the built-in antivirus features."
"It is a much faster solution if you are transitioning from a traditional Windows operating system."
"The product is powerful and fast."
"I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support."
"I've been very satisfied with this operating system."
"I think Ubuntu is not that secure."
"There is not a lot of support for applications in Ubuntu Linux. In the industry, most of the applications work for Windows and Mac. There should be better integration with applications in the future."
"Sometimes certain tasks are challenging due to issues with the command-line interface. Users who prefer Windows may find it difficult to transition to Linux."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"I don't like the graphical interface in Ubuntu and it should be better."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in the GUI aspect of the product."
"The stability definitely can be improved. When we are implementing patches and new releases, it tends to fail."
"The solution could be better integrated with Microsoft."
"Windows 10 could be improved by providing a data recovery application default. This is the most critical thing I have ever figured out in my career. If you accidentally deleted the data from the machine—the local machine—there is no way to get it back unless you install a third-party application. When your machine is connected to an IP domain, sometimes you won't be able to install a third-party application because it becomes a compliance issue, so you can get in trouble. Windows 10 should provide a data recovery solution."
"It could be more stable."
"It takes a lot of hard drive space when you're using it. I also have Windows 10 on my personal computer, and it does take up an awful lot of hard drive space. This is probably something about which nothing can be done, and it is just a pet peeve of mine."
"The pricing could be more competitive compared to other products of the same nature."
"I would like to see hardware resource monitoring features in the tool's next release."
"The enterprise version I have contains many things that are not intended to be enterprise; they are intended for home customers. This includes things like some games and some stuff like that."
"I think the user interface can be a little bit better."
"Nowadays, everything needs to be online, which I do not prefer. I prefer a few files, few applications to be available offline without connecting to the cloud."
