Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is flexible and user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features of Ubuntu Linux is how easy it is to manage. We have some monitoring solutions, so those applications are running on top of Ubuntu. So far, the applications are running in a way that's very stable, compared to other Linux versions and flavors. In terms of redundancy and the command line, it's very easy to manage."
"Ubuntu doesn't use a lot of resources. So I think that's pretty cool. It's totally like Microsoft."
"It has a nice user interface and provides frequent updates."
"If there is a virus going into the network, it has to pass through an Ubuntu server, which can't be infected by the virus. So, there are less viruses on our systems."
"Stability of our systems has only improved since moving from CentOS to Ubuntu LTS."
"The main distinguishing feature between Ubuntu and other Linux distribution is that Ubuntu has excelled at user-friendliness. It's very easy to use."
"As we have repositories in my country, the ease of use and the open source nature of the solution are valuable features."
"The solution is scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out, they shouldn't run into issues doing so."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use, making it a user-friendly product."
"It's quite simple to install. I don't think that it's a problem. It takes maybe half an hour or less to install. It depends on the specs of the PC and what you need to do in advance, like backing up your drives. At most, it takes an hour."
"Windows is so widely used that almost every problem has been encountered by someone else. There are usually multiple solutions or workarounds available online. So, in that sense, the support is pretty good."
"Windows 10 is easy to use."
"Windows 10 is easier for people to learn than other alternative solutions. Microsoft has been doing a very good job recently with updates and integrations, such as the collaboration with Ubuntu."
"The best thing about Windows 10 is that you can run anything on it."
"The solution overall works well."
"We'd like to have a bit more of a friendly user interface."
"In general, Windows is easier to use and friendlier to deal with than Ubuntu."
"There are some drivers that are not there encoded, however, I thought that was pretty normal. They could be more comprehensive."
"Better integration between the interface of the software and the operating system itself would be a benefit in the future."
"The solution is not user-friendly in comparison with Windows."
"The user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The product must enable automation using AI."
"Lacks the ability for disk expansion."
"I have some challenges with the search box. It's a good tool, but sometimes there are some problems. For example, I can't find an application that I installed earlier."
"Could be easier to manage and use."
"The solution’s security and stability could be improved."
"The solution could improve in security, we use a third-party antivirus solution to keep it secure."
"We'd always be happier if the enterprise version was a little bit lower in price."
"In the beginning, the system froze a few times."
"While the stability is okay, it could always be better."
"The solution should offer a bit of an easier integration with authentication methods, like FIDO or FIDO2 authentication with the USB-C. They should try to simplify the process of authenticating the user. Nobody wants to remember thousands of passwords."
