Currently, we used it to run BIND DNS servers, Unified controllers, network monitoring, and our web file-box system. Previously we have also used it for wikis, hosting websites, and VPN servers. Since it is a well established and maintained distro of Linux, there doesn't seem to be an end to the services that could be run on top of it. It is based on Debian which is my preferred sub-system.,Package management

Higher maintenance times due to more frequent updates.,Windows Server,Ubiquiti Wireless WANChristian ShaheenYour best overall Linux distribution of choice2019-02-23T21:46:10.778ZWeb application servers run Ubuntu Linux in our organization. It's a great operating system and especially a great Linux distribution when you look for stable server setups with modern versions of the software. We use it for web servers running either Apache or Nginx, and VPN servers that are super easy to set up in Ubuntu to help us maintain our data and keep our systems protected while accessing from outside the network. We also use it for any other server appliance like file servers, cache servers (Memcached, Redis) and anything else. Any new server inside the organization will run Ubuntu Linux as well.,Availability across cloud vendors is unmatched, you can expect that any cloud or hosting setup will offer a Ubuntu Linux image for you to use.
Community support is great. Canonical does a great job supporting the system and the community does its part with forum participation, documentation and email support.
Being based on Debian, it offers a more "modern" stable system than the former, with newer versions of most software. If you want the quality and stability from a Debian distribution, but also want modern software, this is the distribution of choice.
The desktop environment is one of the bests for end users in the Linux ecosystem.
Server setup and configuration is easy with the extended utilities and software from Canonical.
It's a standard among Linux distributions, so you can trust that almost any Linux software will be packaged for your Ubuntu distribution.,I'd like to see Canonical REALLY betting on desktop Linux and move one step forward with innovation in that area to improve user adoption.
Desktop UI decisions have been not-so-happy in the past. The ability to move back and forth with Unity has pushed a lot of users in favor of options. Having REAL desktop environment options is something to improve as well.
Improvements in interoperability with other OSes would be very welcome. Sometimes it's just hard to communicate with MacOS or Windows across some protocols. Maybe it's due to the private nature of these protocols, but alternatives are around, we just need to compile and improve them.,8,Systems administration with Ubuntu is easy with little deep knowledge about it. Docs and community publications are great resources for any task you need to perform on any Ubuntu server and the organization can save several salaries of specialized sys admins in favor of more active roles.
Having been an Ubuntu user for many years personally, setting up new Ubuntu servers on my organization came with zero cost for me. I just deployed one instance from my hosting/cloud provider and started working right after it was running, no need to ask support or hire new staff for these tasks.
Replacing paid options with Ubuntu have also saved thousands of dollars on Windows Server licenses. I've migrated Windows/SQL Server based systems to Ubuntu/MySQL/PostgreSQL several times during my career and saved about USD 5000/year in licenses to many of them.,CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows Server,Nginx, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Google Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOceanLeonel QuinterosUbuntu Linux is part of the skeleton of my company2019-02-13T12:34:34.462ZWe use Ubuntu Linux on all digitalAtelier PCs:DevelopersGraphic DesignersAdministrative staff.

In the Amazon cloud, it is our web server OS. On our corporate network, we run many virtualized Ubuntu Server instances to provide shared file storage, DHCP, DNS, and the internal intranet web server. Our multimedia room runs on Ubuntu Desktop to manage our library of AV materials, handle streaming video, and record over-the-air television. We have several workstations that run Ubuntu Desktop. In some cases, we dual-boot Ubuntu on older MacBook Pros because it runs faster. We have some video-editing workstations that use open-source software, and we find those applications perform much better under Ubuntu than Windows or MacOS.,Widespread support among vendors. It's one of the most widely used Linux distributions.
Hardware drivers are available for the majority of our devices.
Multiple supported desktop flavors are available: Gnome, XFCE, KDE, etc.
We find it extremely reliable as a desktop and server OS. We seldom need to reboot.,Older NVidia cards have poor hardware support.
Older Broadcom Wi-Fi drivers are unreliable.
High DPI monitor support is improving but needs more work.
Font rendering can be improved, particularly sub-pixel hinting on LCD displays,10,We have only seen a positive ROI. It's free to license.
It's easier to use and support than most other distributions, so there are reduced labor costs.
Adding Ubuntu to our mixed network of Mac and Windows computers has made more applications and solutions possible.,CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),Microsoft Teams, UltraEdit, TeamUp, DaVinci ResolveVerified UserUbuntu Linux - the best Linux distribution2019-06-05T20:09:19.992ZFor any situation where a Linux solution is appropriate we use Ubuntu Linux. This includes many open source solutions, the Apache web server, security purposes such as IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and many other uses where we find Ubuntu Linux to be a perfect fit.,Ubuntu Linux is one of the most user-friendly, and admin friendly Linux distributions available. Most things can be done form the provided GUI tools without needing to use the command line. It works well for those more familiar with Windows too.
For things that Linux traditionally does well, such as Web Servers, PHP, firewalls, etc., Ubuntu Linux is a perfect choice. It is easy to set up and secure by default.
There are several distributions of Ubuntu Linux that are specialized for specific tasks, so you can choose the version that is most suited. For example, There is the standard Ubuntu Desktop release, Ubuntu Server (without the x-windows gui) for server tasks. There are at least two "lite" releases, Lubuntu and Xubuntu which are lite on system resources for older PC's. There are releases that use different desktop software for a different look and feel. There is even a release tailored toward multi-media creation (Ubuntu Studio). All of these still use the same Ubuntu base and share many of the same tools and utilities.,There is a bit of a learning curve (although not severe) for those who are more familiar with Windows. While Ubuntu Linux does provide many admin programs and utilities, there are still things that need to be done from a command line, and by editing configuration files. You will find however that this is actually a very efficient way to get things done.
You can integrate into a Windows-based network, and be able to access shared folders and Windows Network drives. There is some set up required, however.,10,There are many things that you can use Ubuntu Linux for, even in a Windows-based environment. For example, network monitoring is handled very well by Ubuntu Linux (using Open NMS).
Since Ubuntu Linux is freely available, you don't have to worry about purchasing a license for each server you build.
Ubuntu Linux also runs well as a virtual machine on the Hyper-V server.,SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),Notepad++Verified UserUbuntu Linux, a Great Way to Extend a Computer's Life.2019-02-28T17:18:02.024ZI began using Ubuntu Linux as a personal user; however, I began using the operating system at work as well. I found that Ubuntu Linux was much faster than Windows on my Lenovo Laptop. In the event that I needed to use Windows for work or personal use, I utilized Windows as a virtual machine.,Ubuntu Linux appears to be more efficient than Windows, at least on some machines.
Ubuntu Linux is very secure and typically requires no antivirus software.
Ubuntu Linux utilizes an update system that stays out of the way of the user.,Ubuntu Linux is probably the least intimidating of all the different Linux distributions; however, in some cases, the user may still run into problems with certain hardware drivers.
The software center that comes with Ubuntu Linux has historically been very buggy. The software center is also supposed to serve as the package manager for the operating system. I believe that Ubuntu could choose a better package manager for the operating system.
Generally, Ubuntu Linux allows users to avoid having to use the terminal for interacting with the operating system; however, sometimes it seems that using the terminal is unavoidable. I think that Ubuntu Linux should have a built-in tutorial for all new users to learn at least the basics of the Linux terminal commands.,8,Ubuntu Linux allowed me to use an older Lenovo laptop for much longer than I would have been able to if using Windows. This allowed me to utilize my available funds for other assets.
When I first began using Ubuntu Linux there was a steep learning curve. I ran into multiple issues with hardware drivers being unavailable for my device. As a result, I learned how to compile my own drivers. The computer skills that I learned by using Ubuntu Linux carried over into my job as a healthcare simulation specialist.
Even though I learned a lot through the issues I had with hardware drivers on Ubuntu Linux, the time it took me to figure out how to navigate these issues negatively impacted my efficiency at work.,Oracle VM VirtualBox, Google Drive, Microsoft 365 BusinessVerified UserUbuntu Server - A quick and painless OS for Python app development and deployment2019-01-23T16:27:47.459ZIn my current role, I am using Ubuntu to deploy python applications and cron scheduled jobs that relate to telephony platforms. Since the development that I have done doesn't specifically bind us to Windows, it was a far better decision to go with the free and open source OS. As far as I am aware, mine is the only team using Canonical's distribution of Debian Linux, but I am sure there are other test and development environments that employ it.
Ubuntu has provided us with a dependable platform for rapidly deploying telephony integrations, ranging from API based data extraction to full on web apps to allow more granular security access to certain telephony components.,The community support is phenomenal. There is a complete wealth of documentation just in forum questions alone if you have the willingness to look for them.
The popularity among lower cost hosting services (digital ocean, linode, etc) has led those providers to create very nice administrative documentation for Ubuntu that goes above and beyond the quality typical of the community documentation. All of this being accessible without being subscribed to their services.
The cost. I mean, this is kind of a "duh" point, but reducing the OS cost of a server isn't something to scoff at.
Ubuntu server receives regular updates and security fixes, sometimes faster than other paid OS.,I think that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) have an image problem. There is an appearance that you have to be a Linux proficient admin to set up and administer a server, when the reality is that the command line nature lends to the administration being easier than other GUI based OS. I think they need to work on that some to get further market penetration.
Update their pre-installed version of python from 3.5,10,The cost (in conjunction with low-cost internal hosting) has allowed us to take chances on application development that would return in efficiency or better business practices, but not financially.,Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),Genesys PureConnect, Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Call Manager), Genesys PureCloudVerified UserUbuntu Linux - the universe of "open source" (free!) awaits you!2019-01-10T14:26:11.771ZUbuntu Linux is an open source (free) operating system for desktops and laptops. It has the same purpose as Windows 10 and Apple's Mac OS. For desktop/laptop applications, Ubuntu Linux, for me offers superior performance to Windows 10 and offers huge cost savings when compared to making the leap into the "everything Apple" world. Apple's proprietary equipment is usually multitudes more expensive than laptops and desktops which are designed to run Windows, and any Windows computer can be re-configured to run Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu Linux add-on application programs are also open source (free) and are at least equally as functional (and often times superior) to their Windows counterparts. Most of the work products generated by Ubuntu Linux software are also fully compatible with Windows 10 or Apple/Mac users.,Ubuntu Linux is extremely resource efficient in using a desktop/laptop system's resources, particularly as compared to my experiences with any Windows product. (Its architecture is the foundation for Chromebooks as well as the Android operating system for smartphones). Eliminating the loading and processing hang-ups I commonly experienced with Windows is a huge plus.
The "open source" universe is hugely appealing, both because of high quality, free and compatible software, but also because it allows such a high level of customization. Open source systems and software means no "bloatware," no intrusive programs popping up where you don't want them, and the freedom to purchase outside of a particular vendor.
The quality of the operating system is truly a "gold standard" to me. It works, and, unlike Windows, doesn't have the "back door" security vulnerabilities Windows is constantly trying to patch.,Although it's continually improving, Ubuntu Linux doesn't come preloaded on equipment (generally) and it takes some know how to set it up, configure and function with it.
Generally, the open source software which runs on Ubuntu Linux offers really good compatibility with Windows or Mac products, but, sometimes it just doesn't work, and you're on your own to research what's going on. There are a lot of forums for Ubuntu Linux users, but, it can be frustrating.
Traditional "support" for Ubuntu Linux is non-existent - because it is open source (and free!), there is no online "team" to chat with or call when you're having a tech meltdown. I think this is an inherent trade-off in the "for profit" and "open source" model - again, there are lots of forums, and users who've been very generous with their time is helping people sort things out, but it is not a system for anyone not willing to invest some time in the learning curve.,10,What's the ROI on free? Technically, infinite - not having to pay for software is a huge deal for a small company.
Ubuntu Linux extends the lifecycle of equipment - because it's so resource efficient, you don't constantly need to upgrade because the operating system is consuming so much RAM. In fact, you can rejuvenate older Windows equipment which can no longer run effectively by replacing Windows with Ubuntu Linux.
On the negative side, a user can get bogged down with technical difficulties, taking time away from more productive activities. It's a great solution for those comfortable and willing to learn new technology (or, if there's a tech-savvy, experienced, "go to" in the company).,Windows Server,LibreOffice, CalibreLinda SasenickUbuntu Linux, A solution for businesses that needs to be evaluated2019-01-17T18:30:42.187ZWe use Ubuntu Linux for several functions. First and foremost, it is part of a multi-tier, multi-location backup implementation. The Linux system copies critical data from a macOS server to its local raid array on an hourly basis. Then this data is copied/backed up to a remote location. The Linux system is also used as a web server for testing new content before we roll it out to the production web server.,Flexibility. It is easy to add and remove services. As our business needs change, so can our Ubuntu Linux system.
Software Updates. Very rarely does a software update break Ubuntu. If issues do arise it is fairly easy to back out the changes,Third-party applications. The lack of mainstream applications, like MS Office, make it more difficult to deploy any Linux system at the client end.
Linux is more of a do it yourself OS. Implementation, support, and use require more technical expertise than other OS's, most notably macOS.,8,In our case ROI is hard to calculate. It has allowed us to solve business challenges and not have to purchase new hardware to do so.
On the negative side, it has added another OS to our mix. Support staff now has to be trained or hired with the requirement of Linux knowledge.,,Microsoft 365 Business, Backblaze, WordPressDave LindenNew experiences using Ubuntu2018-12-19T15:37:50.654ZIt is being used by the entire organization since it has several operating services of the corporation, web services, database services, and others.,It is a very stable and easy administration platform. It defines roles and profiles for installation, graphic environment and only command. line.
In the internal operation is a platform that helps us to support websites for employees. Its integration with web services and its graphic environment make an easy management of the platform.
It is very useful to carry out tests and validations in its desktop versions, for the development area it allows having virtual environments and doing many tests before launching a service.,Cleaning of packages or incomplete installations in a graphic environment
Better documentation and help for the configuration of the firewall, in the graphics mode, and the command line. Not all users are experts in this area and implementing it can be very difficult.,8,We have not measured this type of scenario since has not been a critical platform until now.
When we are required to restore the systems we take 2 paths, we use the shadow of the virtual one and in other cases, it reinstalls the system. It does not take long.,Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),Windows Server, Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)Erick de Leon PoncianoFull Ubuntu Linux Review2018-12-18T15:35:13.225ZI use Ubuntu Linux in my personal IT work, for computer hard drive diagnosis and also as an alternative to Microsoft Windows. For the computer hard drive diagnosis, I find that Ubuntu accesses a damaged hard drive differently than Microsoft Windows in that I find I have a better percentage of data recovery. I have had hard-drives that Windows would not even see, but once booted in the Ubuntu environment....the hard-drive was accessible and I was able to perform data recovery. As for being an alternative to Windows, I have used it to build streaming boxes and have used it for hosting security surveillance systems.,Very easy GUI to maneuver around in.
Many choices of compatible applications to use with Ubuntu.
There are straight terminal based functions that you do not find in Windows.,I have found that Ubuntu has had some hardware compatibility issues, but those issue have disappeared in each evolution of it.
There aren't too many areas they can improve with this OS-- they keep up with things available in Windows fairly well.,10,Using Ubuntu Linux for my troubleshooting purposes has given me a reliable tool which has proven itself over and over. Being able to recover data written off by other techs makes me look pretty good in my field.
Being able to use on older machines which do not have a valid up-to-date OS makes these machines worth keeping around.,Verified UserUbuntu - The first real competitor to Windows2018-07-22T16:34:43.200ZI have used Ubuntu Linux in a series of projects, from servers to embedded devices, with the exception of an Ubuntu phone. The primary area that Ubuntu solves is the support for hardware devices that are not normally supported in completely *free* distros of Linux. This is both a feature of Ubuntu and a con, as most Linux developers will not recognize Ubuntu as an authentic distro. However, some hardware makers (i.e. Nvidia) want the Linux community businesses, but they are not willing to release the source code for their video drivers, thus users resort to distros like Ubuntu, who are actively using the non-open drivers, and thus they garner a wider non-developer user audience (i.e gamers, etc.).,Usability ( ease of installation)
"Store" concept: bringing package management (in Linux this has always been a problem) into the 21st century
Flexibility ( there are sub-distros of Ubuntu)
Debian-based (so some sanity in package management),Too system-oriented: often contains large libraries to accomplish just one small problem (remind of you another OS?)
Requires too many resources to run simple software (i.e. TOO pretty)
Unity.,5,Time in deployment: rather than spending 10s of hours unpacking and building packages, just pop the USB into the slot and boot.
Development: Ubuntu works with Windows, software via Wine, and it is packaged natively in Ubuntu, so having that functionality out of the box is very helpful.
The terminal is very sexy in Ubuntu.,Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS,BMC Remedy Asset ManagementVerified UserUbuntu Linux for fast, secure, cost effective hardware.2018-05-04T18:10:14.720ZUbuntu Linux is a fast, secure, and cost-effective way to use your current IT infrastructure.

I have repurposed personal computers that struggled to run Windows XP by installing Ubuntu Linux which provided a more modern interface and improved responsiveness, continued updates, productivity software, and access to other open source applications.,Ubuntu Linux is an efficient operating system and can be used to extend the life of aging hardware and provide essentially free OS software for smaller demands such as word processing, web browsing, software development.
Ubuntu provides command line install tools for common open source applications and provides a nice way to consciously update software.
Ubuntu is widely used and has a vast support community. I am able to easily gather information about requirements I have through web searches.
Linux is open source and has no licensing fees.,I currently do not have improvement comments for Ubuntu server in the areas of performance vs. its Linux counterparts.
Ubuntu does not support as much software as the Windows OS community. While it supports common productivity software such as Libre Office, many client installed games and applications will not run on Linux.
Linux does not support all hardware and peripherals. An embedded wifi adapter that works in Windows may not work with Ubuntu.,9,We have been able to repurpose old hardware and make it useful for other use cases such as sandboxing, or running light-weight OS's that don't tax the computer processer and memory the way Windows continues grow over time.
We have been able to rely in Ubuntu based PCs to provide development tools for more employees at a lower cost
We have been able to familiarize ourselves with Linux on a PC basis and strengthen our ability to perform similar tasks in a server environment, which we also operate in.,windows 10 and windows xp,MySQL, Apache Tomcat, Apache Web ServerJeff HansonMy experience with Ubuntu Linux2018-07-14T20:18:56.297ZUbuntu Linux is used by our research team. We have several remote servers for doing computationally intensive work, and they run Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is free, as are most of the software that can be installed on Linux. This is great for our research team, as we are working from a limited grant. I have not had any issues with Ubuntu yet and seems to be more stable than Windows. Because it is more stable, we are able to focus more on running analyses and doing our research rather than dealing with operating system bugs. Ubuntu is a much more lightweight operating system than Windows, and updating the system has never caused any issues (unlike Windows!).,The user interface is sleek, intuitive, and easy to use. I love it! It is also highly customizable.
Package installation is very easy. You can either download via the command prompt or search for packages within the Ubuntu software center and download via the GUI.
Ubuntu is much more lightweight than Windows, has less bugs, and is more stable.,Not all software is compatible with Ubuntu Linux. Many of our collaborators use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.), which makes sharing files difficult.
Adobe is not available for Ubuntu Linux, and although it is not a huge issue, it is somewhat annoying when working with collaborators who do use Adobe software.
Hardware support for Ubuntu operating systems is limited.,9,Most of the work in our research team is conducted on a Linux server running Ubuntu. Thus, our research progress relies heavily on the proper functioning of the Ubuntu operating system. Interfacing with the remote server via Ubuntu is intuitive and simple and has allowed us to complete code development and run large analyses.
There have been a few issues with software not running properly on Ubuntu, and I had to use a Windows computer to do some other work I would have preferred to do on the Linux server. I attempted to remedy the issues, but I was not able to do so. When this happened I lost several hours of time I could have devoted to more productive activities.
The best thing about Ubuntu is that it is free! Since I work in a research organization that is somewhat limited in funding, this helps my organization save money.,Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),GitHub, ArcGIS, BoxMaike HolthuijzenReview of Ubuntu Linux2018-02-15T19:55:33.253ZUbuntu Linux is being used throughout the entire organization, across several engineering departments.
