Great OS for developers, not recommended for Enterprise app developers who have Microsoft dependenci

  • December 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the best option for developers as Ubuntu is Safe, secured, respects the organization's privacy. It is free so that the organization doesn't want to pay extra on OS maintenance. Ubuntu is a an open-source Linux distro so that the organization can customize it in the way they wanted. Mainstream IDEs like Android Studio and Intellij(Pycharm, Webstorm) works fine on Ubuntu when compared to an equivalent machine with windows OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major problem we are facing as an Enterprise application developing company is- Most of our clients have legacy databases and other systems that have Microsoft dependencies. In such cases, it is hard to integrate these systems with our working environments. Another issue with Ubuntu is- being the Linux distro with the largest community support Ubuntu lacks hardware compatibility(graphics drivers, printers, etc). Applications that need high GPU performance like Photoshop and AutoCAD shows glitches while running on Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on Development frameworks like 'Ruby on Rails' and 'Python', Ubuntu is the best OS that we can make use of. Setting up Ruby on Rails on windows is a big headache for every developer. Thus most of the RoR(Ruby on Rails) developers use Ubuntu as their OS by considering compatibility and organizational privacy.

Great User Experience

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and community LTS makes this distribution of Linux great. They are not afraid to try different things and still work on getting things write. It is a well known and popularly used distribution for server and desktop daily use. There are many options to find what you need that is not preloaded software on the system with little to no cost. There is better support now for hardware and games if that is something you wish to try out. I find it really useful for running network security software and suites to get consultant work done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Default version of python is still 2.x while that version is old and the current version is 3.x it is not the system default. There is not much I can say about this distro that is bad. I never really cared for the default side bar but it grows on you and you can change everything as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Free stable operating system that runs all the software I need for daily tasks and special use cases. Can run all my security suite tools plus other software needed to perform my job on a daily basis and great daily driver for personal use as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small. Try your hand at the Package Managers and tools you can use on the system out of the box. If you are new to linux use it as your daily driver for a few weeks before deciding on this distribution. Soon you will find it is easy to use and has a popular support base. There will be plenty of tutorials and others looking for similar answers to questions you may have and regular support for now and long term is expected.

I am using Ubuntu for past one and a half year. I use windows too, but found ubuntu more straightforward and generally less of a pain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The just thing I dislike about Ubuntu is its messaging menu and notification system.

The best thing I realized while using ubuntu is its command line interfacing and network interface. While using windows, I was stuck with a same issue which was rather solved with ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best operating system I had used till date. Not only it resolves network issues, but is also a open source platform and provides security as well.

Ubuntu - Best Operating system for website hosting

  • November 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can easily use Ubuntu for a hosting server, we can easy to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL to run a website in Ubuntu. They launch the new version 18.04, they are improving day by day. On the servers, we always use ubuntu. There are three reasons to use Ubuntu: 1. We are very familiar with Ubuntu. 2. it is very easy to set up all the packages like web server etc on the ubuntu. 3. It is free, we don't need to pay for Ubuntu like windows. That's why we always prefer Ubuntu for development and hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is very good for web hosting but if you stuck somewhere like MySQL stopped working. so, there is a very different way to resolve this. Most of the times, you need to remove all the package and add it again. Maintenance is tough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source and free makes it a lot more interesting. We can use it in a big company and it will save a lot of cost by not having to buy another operating system for all other employees. Thus saving a lot of money at the end of the year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, very fast operating system

Linux is a good language for programming but seems restrictive in many things especially gaming. It needs more support.
