83 Ubuntu Testimonials

"A year ago, we made the decision to make the transition from Microsoft to Linux. The licence pricing was becoming too much for us, and we didn’t want to adopt Microsoft Vista. Ubuntu was the best distribution we tested. It doesn’t compromise on user experience, it’s solid, and it works with all our hardware."

“We realised that open source was the best option and went for Fedora. While the first three years were certainly a success, we wanted to introduce an operating system that was easier to use but still offered the look and feel of a powerful computing environment, without sacrificing the budget.”

"Ubuntu is a real workhorse. It handles absolutely everything we throw at it. When it comes down to it, Ubuntu just works."

"When we were evaluating possible server solutions, we asked Microsoft for some quotations on Microsoft Server 2003 for our servers and Microsoft Windows Vista for our desktops. The licensing costs ruled Microsoft out for us. Implementing Ubuntu on the servers and desktops in our business saved us at least £6,630 in our first month of operations alone."

"Ubuntu’s versatility is superb. It gives us so much freedom when it comes to choosing hardware and software, and integrating the new technology with Bo is quick and easy."

"Getting up and running with Ubuntu was completely straightforward. Since we were already familiar with common Linux platforms, Ubuntu didn’t present any major challenges."

"We quickly rolled out 10 Ubuntu servers distributed over hundreds of kilometres to manage streaming and packet duplication services and the remote installation features of Ubuntu worked like magic."

"Canonical is providing us with the ‘cloud-native’ foundation that enables us to create a smart and fully converged network. Utilising open source and best-of-breed technologies will ensure we can deliver on our convergence vision, and enable a world-leading 5G and FTTP experience for our customers."

"With Ubuntu, we can be confident that we have an IT environment that is very reliable. We want our customers to focus on joule — not the technology it sits on — so the fact that they have no knowledge of the operating system is testament to its reliability. It’s doing its job."

"Using Ubuntu Core enables us to deliver our customers tailored solutions with a very quick time to market and high ROI in a range of IoT applications. For us, it enables a trusted and reliable platform to work from which is versatile enough to apply to a number of industries. The Oceanos project is one example of this in practice. What is most exciting for us is we discover and co-create IoT solutions with our customers across a growing number of vertical solutions."

"The Ubuntu Server solution gives us peace of mind that our server infrastructure will always be up-to-date. We receive frequent updates and can upgrade to each new release every six months. With a more reliable infrastructure in place, we have greater confidence that users will be able to find the information they’re looking for on our website 24/7."

"The Ubuntu distribution is more reliable than the alternatives. It’s stable,easy-to-use and easy-to-manage. It’s also compatible with a range of hardware, so we haven’t experienced any integration issues. That’s been particularly important because teachers and students need to be able to work with Guadalinex whether they’re in school or at home."

"A new wave of workloads demand breakthrough efficiencies in density, energy, and operational costs which can be scaled to a customer’s IT environment."

"Ultimately, we found that Ubuntu was less expensive and more effective than our existing operating system gradually switching to Ubuntu was a unanimous, corporationwide decision."

"Ubuntu worked out great technically. However, where it was truly remarkable was in the area of community support. Since Ubuntu is so popular, our decision to go 100% Linux-based, including for our recording and mixing consoles, was well supported. The existence of the Ubuntu-Studio community helped us make our decision to drop Pro-Tools, and go with Ardour and Audacity on all our workstations."
