A stable solution that is free of cost and provides good customer support

  • January 18, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is most valuable?

I use Ubuntu Linux to update some drivers related to some of my work.

What needs improvement?

Windows can automatically detect the drivers of new devices, and you can easily use them in the Windows system. Ubuntu Linux does not easily detect the drivers of new devices, and you need to do some trial and error for some of the third parties porting into it.

Ubuntu Linux should improve its embedded hardware so that users can work easily. In order to use multiple embedded devices with Ubuntu Linux, I need to add some device drivers.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

Around three to four people are using the solution in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is good. We get quick answers to our queries on Ubuntu forums.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux because of the cost. If I want to buy a Windows license, it will take thousands of rupees in Indian currency, but Ubuntu Linux is free of cost.

What about the implementation team?

The solution's installation hardly takes a few minutes, depending on the software size.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are using Ubuntu Linux free of cost, and there is no licensing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated other options like CentOS. I felt Ubuntu Linux was good compared to other solutions in terms of support.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.
