Ubuntu remains a solid platform for development and servers.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is incredibly flexible. I've used it personally for many years, so using it for work is great. I am a fan of the "apt" package manager and bash, so Ubuntu is my distribution of choice. CoreOS is also a great system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distro upgrade path is still a little complicated if a user doesn't know specifically what to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A free, open-source server OS lets us save money, while Ubuntu has a broad user base and is a stable, supported distribution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many distributions of Linux, but Ubuntu remains one of the most user-friendly, stable, well-documented versions.

When it is newly installed, system is very fast and responsive. But as the time passes, it gets slower and starts lagging. I faced issues with display as it becomes laggy. One thing I disliked most is lack of support for graphics card drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developer and most of the tools I use performs very well on Linux OS. I've tried various Linux distributions but I got stuck with ubuntu because it doesn't require setup for everything. And it has an awesome community, so if I face an issue, I can find it's solution in very short span of time.

In office I used ubuntu as operating system. Its reduce cost of infrastructure. I worked on LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP). I found ubuntu very suitable for this.

Ubuntu is open-source, so you can access and personalize its source code. That's why most programmers (unless they code in .NET or other Windows proprietary languages) prefer Ubuntu. They're more free to customize their code.

Ubuntu: Making Linux obtainable to the masses!
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a super easy Linux based OS to use. With minutes, a normal user is able to setup a stand alone desktop configuration. From a server point of view, setting up and configuring Tomcat, Postgre or anything else you need for development is pretty much a breeze. I highly suggest it for anybody who wants to learn more about Linux or even a Linux veteran. Give it a shot, heck, you can even run it off a USB stick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at this moment in time, I have been using Ubuntu for a decade now and still recommend it to friends.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work involves the Healthcare IT domain, so anything from database design to full blown EHR implementations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Ubuntu Forums are amazing for users who are learning or trying to configure the product. If it is not there, they are plenty of bloggers who utilize the OS.
