Overall Satisfaction with Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux is a fast, secure, and cost-effective way to use your current IT infrastructure. Ubuntu offers an alternative to Microsoft operating systems that is intuitive and easy to learn for users of all technical abilities. We use Ubuntu for specialized systems ranging from student testing in high stakes testing environments to our payroll systems in our finance department.
- Intuitive, easy to learn interface
- Secure from the bottom up
- Cost effective, free
- Default colors are childish, but easily updated
- Decent, but not great learning curve for new admins and help desk
- Most business users will want to stick to LTS releases
- Small learning curve for end users
- Official support is paid
- Some users are resistant to change
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows Server
Ubuntu server products offer more customization and are easier to replicate and use in a virtualized environment than Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2016, and are more cost-effective than both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. The ease of setting up redundancy in Ubuntu servers is unsurpassed.
