Ubuntu Linux Reviews

The feature that I most like in Ubuntu is that it is really easy to use. Ubuntu is very easy to use and comes with many available packages. I think that Ubuntu is a good solution for the small business or a small lab, like ours. We have a different database, more applications, and more solutions, and it's not so difficult to use Ubuntu for that.

it sometimes happens that when you upgrade, the network card deactivates.
the "Network-manager" network service must be restarted to allow the server to be able to reconnect to the network. this is a situation that I have experienced several times.
Therefore if it is a novice it could be compromising for him.
I think it would be important to improve this so that the network service or even any other service is not stopped after an upgrade.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for eight to ten years.

We are three senior engineers and four junior engineer doing the maintenance.

In terms of scalability, Ubuntu allows us to implement the necessary scalability. But in our solution, we don't need scalability. But it is possible to implement the solution in Ubuntu and I think it permits scalability.

I have tried to do the scalability by using the future machine to implement the scalability solution, but at this time we don't use it in our solution in the lab because you have many people with commercial access. For this kind of use, normally it is on our server for our solution but it's possible to implement a scalability solution with high availability, also.

I never contacted customer support. Maybe in the future I will contact Ubuntu technical support. For now, when we have a problem, we try to go to the community on different discussion forums to solve our different problems.

The initial setup is easy, it's not complex.

It does not take a long time. The installation of Ubuntu takes maybe 30 to 40 minutes for only its installation and not to deploy our additional software solution.

What I can advise is that Ubuntu is a good solution for different environments, such as one server, but it will be important for them to estimate their scalability solution. If there are many people with access to the server, we know there will be load implementation of the server and you can use Ubuntu here. Ubuntu is easy to use and has a big community for the back-end that can help with the deployment of the solution.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine.

Some of my customers use Red Hat, some of them use Debian, and some of them use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is popular for ordinary customers and some of our clients use Ubuntu. I have experience with most main distributions, such as SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, and Debian. 

A Majority of my customers would rather be Using CentOS, RHEL, and OLE but also some are looking for easier interface and simplicity. it suitable for newcomers and desktop users. What appeals to me about it is that you wouldn't have trouble with your drivers.

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. Ubuntu is suitable for someone looking for a desktop Linux.

I prefer to use Debian instead of Ubuntu because Debian is the main distributor. Debian is more stable than Ubuntu. In some projects, I have had some problems with Ubuntu Linux. I finally figured out the root cause. It goes back to repositories. On Ubuntu, you can use main repositories and the source of a package that you install from. If you change repositories, you will get trouble and have difficulties with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu should create some specific features, like Red Hat. Red Hat has provided many features for open-source, like FreeIPA. I can centralize the management and policy management. It's very good, like Microsoft. That has an active directory, a special directory service for the customers. 

I'm looking for enterprise features. I'm looking for specific features in the storage area, in the file system area. I'm looking for management solutions, integration solutions, like SUSE and Red Hat.

Because of some cutting edge packages, I think stability is good. Sometimes you need software that is not in the main repositories. Ubuntu tries to involve new software in their repositories.

I think there isn't a difference between Ubuntu and other distributors. If you have enough experience in Linux, you can implement most solutions, and there aren't any specific features between most of the major Linux. 

I have been working with several companies that use Linux in their office but they use Linux servers and most of them use Oracle Linux or CentOS and some of them use Debian. Some employers in these companies use Ubuntu so there are not very many users. 

I haven't used Ubuntu's support up until now. In most situations, my colleagues and I can resolve problems based on our experience, internet forums, and many papers that you can find everywhere about Linux.

The problems we would encounter would depend on the service we're working on. I implemented FreeIPA for some of my customers and I had some problems with the installation process. The main Ubuntu documents couldn't help me anymore. I had to look for extra documents on the net. I can resolve it from Red Hat or even Debian documents. It takes a reasonable amount of time to find a solution. 

Don't change main repository of Ubuntu otherwise, you will get trouble.

The initial setup is very simple but not as simple as Mint. In the desktop area, Mint Linux is easier than Ubuntu Linux. Statistics show that Mint is more popular than Ubuntu but the setup is not difficult compared with Red Hat or another distributor. 

All of my projects have been done by the internal team. 

It is not easy to find out ROI for such a solution but you don't have to pay for buying and most of the time for support.

All of them are free most of the time if you have good Linux admins.

I have been working on many Linux Distro till now. I evaluate the new release of the main distros to find out new features.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

The Ubuntu LTS server is very stable. I use Ubuntu on most of my servers and I'm very pleased.

Updates on packages are the main reason that I use the Ubuntu server. With this tool, my servers are up-to-date and secured. It is easy to use. The Ubuntu server is good for new admins. We use it for HAProxy load balancers, to database, and web servers with high availability.

I think it should only be for the desktop. Maybe it is good idea to say goodbye to Unity and say hello again to Gnome.

I have been using Ubuntu for five or six years. I use it mostly on web servers.

It is very stable. For all those years, I never had any problems.

I've never used technical support. I use askubuntu.com which is free and it is great!

I used SlackWare, then Debian. My most important servers are still using Debian, but the other ones are Ubuntu servers.

The setup was straightforward. It is pretty easy to use for beginners to advanced admins.

Use Linux. It is free!

We did not evaluate other options.

Ubuntu is a very stable Linux. I highly recommend it.

I am using it for the desktop system. I have its latest version.

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.

When you upgrade the core of this operating system, it can crash. This is the only problem I had. It needs more stable upgrades. 

I have been using this solution for a few years.

For desktop, we don't need it to be scalable. Currently, it is for personal use, and there is only one user.

I have not used their technical support. Ubuntu probably has a lot of documents, but I never had to read something about it. I have used CentOS for dozens of years, so Ubuntu seems simple to me.

We use CentOS for our web servers. 

It is very simple. It took less than half an hour.

Usually, I do it by myself, and it is very simple.

It is free.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux for other users who want to start using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 out of 10.

I have installed Ubuntu Desktop on my personal laptop. 

Nowadays, you can do everything with a browser, meaning you don't need a vulnerable, fancy solution like Windows for example.

I am aware that they package some versions that are lightweight and are not so process or memory-intensive however, I would like to see an even more lightweight version because I believe it is possible.

I have using Ubuntu for about 15 years and intend to increase my usage.

Ubuntu is very stable, I have zero issues.

I used Windows for a very long time, however my specialty has been on Unix systems.

I did the initial setup on my own. It takes about two hours, unattended, as it takes time to update and download.

I do not pay a licensing fee for this operating system.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux. If people are scared of Linux machines they don't need to be, it is as simple as Windows. Don't be scared of the fact that it says Linux on the box, it's a desktop in itself.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux an 8 out of 10.

We use the solution for internal application deployment.

Our SmartVista solution is based on Debian Linux, that is really similar to Ubuntu.

Some of the highlighted valuable features are that is based on Linux, configurable, functional, and robust.

Test automation and application maintenance could be improved. 

Better integration between the interface of the software and the operating system itself would be a benefit in the future.

I have been using the solution for 17 years.

The solution is stable, it is based on 20 years of history.

I have found it to be scalable. 

The solution is open source and has no technical support.

Yes, Red Hat 4, SuSe 6.3, . . . .fro the 90s. Because of functionality and easier management

It is a free product.

Since I have been using the solution for a long time I have used many version. Currently, I use 20.04, and previously versions 18.04 and 16.04. I would advise others to trust in open source solutions, they are really configurable and do not give up too early.

I would recommend this product.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

We pretty much use it to run everything that we have at the moment.

For us, OpenStack is awesome. We want something that will be much simpler than a broad and complicated solution.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say management and storage. Mostly, the storage mechanism. There have been some subsequent versions that have improved on this. But I'm talking about the version that we are currently running. We are aware that there have been some subsequent versions that have addressed this challenge.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux between six and 10 years, and I joined the company about three years ago.

In terms of stability, it has been very stable.

Because the version we are running is the community version, we are on our own. We rely on information available in the community to address support cases. I heard that there was going to be some training at some point. For now, we pretty much manage it by ourselves. But we've not really had any cause for support. Because of how very broad the solution is, you need some substantial budgets to be able to manage it.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight.

Off the top of my head, I would advise to check out the management of the storage.

Also, the UI can always be improved.

I find the stability of the solution the most valuable aspect. It's also easier software than Microsoft Windows.

The portal for the active directory needs to be improved. I cannot include my work station as I want to the active directory to the Microsoft domain. 

The solution could be better integrated with Microsoft.

The solution is stable. 

I cannot answer this question. I haven't tried to scale the solution. Directory as a workstation is used by a few hundred, but all servers are for Oracle databases. And that users work on Windows work stations, but with Oracle client issues, databases on the servers. But we don't plan to scale.

We don't deal with technical support. If we need answers, we usually use the internet.

We previously used 3BD and Oracle Linux. We switched because this solution is more user-friendly.

The initial setup was pretty easy.

We did not evaluate other options.

I would rate this solution at 8 out of 10. 

For me, its different user interfaces is not a good idea because sometimes it's hard to find the best interface. It's better to have one, but an excellent one. I think the stability is very good.
