83 Ubuntu Testimonials

"Ubuntu is used so much everywhere that you can get drivers for everything, and there’s a great community. It’s ease-of-use makes everything faster, and not just for those of us who are already familiar with it. Even engineers without a software background can work on Ubuntu without issue."

"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."

"We are working with Canonical to ensure we are properly supported as we scale out our Ubuntu cloud. In particular, we are looking at the Ubuntu Advantage service, which gives us access to Canonical support engineers and Openstack contributors working at Canonical, whenever we ever need them."

"Now that we have teams in Montreal, India and Japan it is important for us to have the right system and tools in place so that we can work effectively and efficiently between geographies. We can’t afford to have delays simply because the teams are distributed."

"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."

"The ability to go from development to production on the same OS, with the same tools and interface, is invaluable. In fact, it was the main factor in our decision."

"Ubuntu enables us to seamlessly try new software packages. It gives us the ability to rapidly fail, learn what works, try new things, and move forwards."

"Quick development and iterations of robotics application requires a high level of stability and flexibility in terms of building a platform that allows changes or adjustments to the different features without any malfunction. Ubuntu is well suited to develop such an application which is then robust, stable, responsive and has a high level of security."

"Ubuntu’s active user community supports and facilitates quick development and iterations and its Core variant is well suited for light on-board computers for aerial robots."

"Using Ubuntu in our smart vending experiences has provided a stable solution in which we can innovate and enhance the traditional vending machine to become smart. With the flexibility to use different versions of Ubuntu to suit each project needs, we have been able to create bespoke solutions across all our clients and customise each solution accordingly."

"The LiMux/open source project was a long and iterative one, but after a few years of running such a large Linux base, we realised Ubuntu was the platform that could satisfy our requirements best. By combining the low costs and freedom of open source software with ongoing support for the hardware and applications we need, it was one of the critical elements to the success of this project. Most important was the backing of our politicians throughout the project."

"The results have been fantastic. Ubuntu is very, very stable and the servers cope well with the lunch time ‘hit’. IT Lab usage has gone up during lunch and break times since we have been using Ubuntu. Plus, it has enabled us to increase the manageability of the network environment and reduce complexity and maintenance time significantly."

"We want to be able to deliver the same high-quality experience on Linux as we do on other platforms. Snaps allow us to do just that, by giving us the ability to push the latest features straight to our users, no matter what device or distribution they happen to use."

"Canonical's BootStack gave us instant access and all the benefits of a cloud platform with fixed, predictable and manageable cost comparable to public cloud. We have the assurance of a reliable, run by experts cloud platform and can grow and adapt it as we need."

“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.”
