Awesome open-source alternative for the Windows Ecosystem

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If your activity is not bound to specific Windows-only applications, Ubuntu can be a good OS chose for your office computer. It has a lot of packages available via snaps or repos, it has a big and active community and it gets shipped with different graphical interfaces. It's easy for everybody to adopt an Ubuntu flavor that matches their preferences in terms of GUI.
What do you dislike about the product?
You don't need to be a Linux admin or a hacker to use an Ubuntu desktop, but you must have a bunch of computer skills, in order to solve the different issues that might occur.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is providing a free OS alternative for computers. If you don't need to use specific software, like AutoCAD, Photoshop or others, you can save the money you would pay for the software licenses.

Best Operating System out there

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The thing I liked most about Ubuntu Desktop is that it is easy to use, lightweight and compatible with any desktop with the least requirement for specifications. I also liked how well the community is established for this on the websites like StackOverflow and Reddit, which come real handy when stuck for any kind of problem, and also how the most used software is accessible with no cost on the platflorm.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside about it is that the command required for downloading other software is a little tricky sometimes, but again this problem is solved by the community that is on the internet to help with those things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that I faced most while using an OS is that most of the software on the other platform is either paid or subscription based, but on this, they are absolutely free or have a free alternative.
Also, while using other OS, I had to specify the path of the software, for instance, when installing Java on Ubuntu I did not have to specify the path to the environment variables; it automatically picks up whenever running the java program.

Great OS für a variety of applications - in our case for network solutions

  • October 31, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use compared to many other distros - installed this distro on a Windows Server 2019 cluster with SCVMM and while other distros did not recognize my storage, this worked flawlessly.
Support for a variety of softwares as well as easy and maintenance.
Very sturdy and reliable software
What do you dislike about the product?
The OS overall is very reliable and has let me down very seldom. Though for a general user, it can still become a rabbit hole to go into when an issue appears and is still not as intuitive as other mainstream OSes, like MacOS and Windows
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run a variety of network solutions on Ubuntu, such as UNMS, an intranet wiki as well as a network scanner. The OS never failed us and remote management is really easy.

Best open source operating system

  • October 28, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The thing about Ubuntu is that it is open source and free to use for everyone. It's new versions are very similar to the Windows or Mac os, and if you have used them then you'll find it very familiar to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
although it's new versions are mostly UI, but still you'll need some learning curve to use it. You'll be using the terminal once in a while to install many things which is also a very good thing but if you are not that much of a tech person then you'll find it a little hard for initial days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Ubuntu as our daily work operating system for a very long time and it solve all our corporate needs free of costs. we don't need to buy any license to install on many computers and it also comes with libre office which is also a very good alternative to Office suite.

Server performance

  • October 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu server is best for user-friendly service compared to the other flavors in Linux. We can automate our tasks quickly by using scripts which is faster compared to other Linux providers
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu web browser UI is not user-friendly. We can improve the UI part of web applications in ubuntu browsers. So that everyone uses the ubuntu server without the client server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us to automate our work via scripting. We can build custom scripts and custom commands based on our project requirements. This feature is easing our day-to-day work.

Ubuntu Desktop review

  • October 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Desktop is the most commonly used platform in majority of the professional companies but it is also good enough for personal use. The command line interface is a very useful tool for coding and running computational programs and tools. Also it's a perfect OS for software development as it is based on Linus.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might take sometime to for a beginner to understand the directory structures and the basic usage of the command line interface thus not that user friendly. Thus suggesting the need of a better structure for the directories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Desktop is an open source operating system which provides users like programmers to build their tools. We can write shell scripts for OS level automation. It also flawlessly supports python, java, R and other software development tools.

  • October 25, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, also solutions available due to the product's popularity. The broad library supports many external application plugins. i seen maximum third-party application compatibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many methods to perform one task. It can be an advantage, but I sometimes feel like as dislike it, like I can manage the disk using fdisk /dev/sda or gdisk /dev/sda, I agree that they have something different, separately, as on concluded there is nothing to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normally i used the ubuntu server for the web server and data sharing server as, like samba server, i got better stability in it and good support and tutorials available on Internet.
