83 Ubuntu Testimonials

"The solution had to be robust and powerful enough to process, manage, organise and deliver time-critical data to lawyers in order to prise them away from their box files. Our clients had to be convinced and, at the same time, we wanted to be free to make unplanned decisions and innovate quickly – Ubuntu OpenStack was the obvious choice."

"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."

"ESM literally saved our lives. It’s allowing us to upgrade from 14.04 LTS at our own pace."

“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."

"We had about 100 servers in use and now 30 are running the workload. We’re trying to find use for the remaining 70. I’m optimistic we’ll find something for them although it’s obviously better to have 30 than 100."

"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."

"Juju is a key differentiator for Canonical, none of its competitor’s offer what Canonical and Juju offer to cloud service deployment. OpenStack will be a commodity in time but Juju will totally change service creation and cloud modelling. It sets Canonical apart from everyone else."

"That was straightforward because Ubuntu is the most open of the open source distributions."

"Livepatch is like a dream come true, both from a technical and a business standpoint. Our Ubuntu systems now rarely or never have to be rebooted. Service is continuous. That makes a big difference for user and customer satisfaction and loyalty."

"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."

"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."

"The university’s dual-boot computers, which are largely Dell, have seen more usage for Ubuntu than in Windows. User reaction was extremely positive, with even the most loyal Windows experts testing and appreciating the value of the new OS."

"We support open source solutions and have long been using Ubuntu. In switching our desktop computers to Ubuntu, we have reduced our total cost of ownership in a significant and meaningful way. We also like the fact freedom it gives us from licensing fees and the ease with which we can deploy and manage Ubuntu systems – and because it’s so easy to use, we had no problems with users accepting the new software. Productivity was unaffected."
