What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Debian, is that the virus problem does not exist, I have more than 3 years of experience, working almost daily with Debian. I have not found a file that can not be read or manipulated even if it has a computer virus. Regardless of whether I have a virus file because I have been working on Windows, only this detail makes me want to Debian. In my case I consider myself a programmer who loves to do my processes and not use the routines already done, with debian I can program my routines and tasks for the operating system, I can modify the existing ones to adapt them to my needs
It is ideal for those who perform administration services, such as IP allocation, user license management, web services, database services, among others.
For these reasons and many more I love Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is the installation of its packages, some programs to install them must be an expert, since it has many dependency problems installed, which causes the person in charge of the installation of the programs to lose a large amount of productive time, trying to execute a program by locating each unit separately and installing it. Another aspect that I do not like is that its graphic interface is very unattractive, if I have already worked with Windows or Mac, although in the latest versions it has improved, but nowadays it is still unattractive, which makes the desktop worker feel uncomfortable Another aspect, although it could be seen as an advantage, they updated their systems and programs compatible with Debian almost daily, but this forces the technicians to update each command so that their programs are more efficient and consume productive time. work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is to be able to efficiently use the computers of the Ministry since most of them have an outdated hardware configuration, Pentium IV, core-duo. Debian allows machines to be used to perform desktop jobs, such as working with text editors and spreadsheets efficiently and quickly.
For the administration of the operating system service, Debian makes it very easy for the people in charge of those tasks, facilitating the proper use of the Ministry's information platform.
Another aspect that generates benefits is that the software is free and there are no limits for the user to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it for those organizations whose computers have hardware configurations with few resources or obsolete that generate problems for users to run office programs and other installed software. Also for those companies that want to install and manage their IP allocation services, manage their web domain, control the security of their users, offer database services, among others. I would also recommend it Also for those companies that want to save money, in not buying licenses and that allows you to have no user limitations to use the operating system

What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Debian is the security that my files do not get infected with viruses, or that the operating system is damaged, when it closes without running the process of closing the system. With the Windows 7 operating system, the machine became infected with viruses even if it had an antivirus installed, due to the speed with which it creates viruses. In Debian there is no virus and, although it can read a Pendrive file with a virus file, the operating system is not infected and its files are safe. Debian is very stable and even if the operating system is suddenly interrupted, when the machine is turned on, the system starts without any problem, without any type of system recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is its graphical interface compared to Windows or Mac, it is very rudimentary, not interesting for users who use the system to work with desktop packages and who call them interest in the graphics of games or programs. design. Other things that limit the use of debian is that although my functions are related to the technical service and the programming area, install a package, sometimes it is inconvenient for the issue of dependencies. In some cases, the installation of a program requires a lot of time and, sometimes, the software is not installed due to the dependencies that must be installed to execute the desired program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is the reduction of work motivated by the decrease in user requirements for the cause of computer viruses and the loss of information that causes the contamination of a data file. The percentage of formatting of the operating system and the reinstallation of software caused by the operating system damage due to failures of system shutdown or registry system defect that damage the Windows operating system also decreased. Another benefit is the increased speed of software processing compatible with debia, since the operating system does not consume as much RAM as other proprietary operating systems. They increased their processing capacity by running the different packages that are compatible with Debian.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend debian for those institutions that have computers with few processor resources and RAM, due to their ability to be faster when processing information with debian compatible packages, also for those companies that have many problems with the virus problem. I would also recommend it for its stability and excellent performance, with the presence of very few faults.

Debian the most stable operating system based on Linux

  • May 24, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Debian is undoubtedly the philosophy of the operating system in which safety and stability prevail over all this is why developers often choose outdated versions of some applications that are considered safer and without bug known, this is why Debian is used especially in servers.

Another important aspect to choose Debian are its repositories in which we can find thousands of totally free software applications that prevent us from having to search for the software on the internet putting at risk the security of our equipment, this software available in the repositories is reviewed by a team specialized of people who collaborate with Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most important problem that most operating systems based on Linux have is that they can not use certain applications since they are only available in Windows operating systems, so in order to use it we must resort to application emulators and the configuration of these is not especially simple for ordinary users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We chose Debian because we consider it important to work with stable and secure computers because we store sensitive information in our computers, we also looked for an operating system that would allow us to work continuously without problems of bugs in applications that would waste our time, in Debian we found the solution thanks to its application repository.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a stable operating system, free and without bugs to work Debian is undoubtedly the operating system that you must choose, it is also known to be a very safe operating system. I also recommend that before using it you can make sure that the applications you use are available in the repository.

Debian, a great operating system for work

  • May 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In my experience working with Debian the best thing has been its stability, while in Windows I suffer constantly problems with software that is sometimes incompatible and gives failures even reboots, in Debian I have seen the opposite.

What I like the most about Debian is how to install the applications, which do not need to be searched online, since they are installed from a repository using the command console or using the Marketplace graphically, where we can find thousands of software applications that have been tested by the community and by the Debian team to ensure that the software is free of malicious code and also works properly. I also liked that Debian is very customizable and through changes in the theme, fonts and icons we are able to obtain an operating system totally different from the one presented to us by default.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only negative aspect that I have found in Debian is the initial learning curve that is required to make a professional use of the operating system, personally I think it takes time to be able to use this operating system professionally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company we use Debian mainly because we use software that only works under Linux efficiently, in Windows it is very unstable so we decided to use Debian. In my experience with Debian I have been able to verify its used not only for this software but in many other areas such as security and privacy, very important aspects in a work environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Debian is an operating system that I recommend mainly if you are looking for a secure environment and that is updated on a regular basis so that we have access to the latest versions of the software without risking the security of our computer and the network in which it is located.

Best Linux experience and performance

  • April 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
· A lot of Linux distributions are based on Debian (Ubuntu e.g.) so it exist a great bunch of packets perfectly suited for this distro.
· Good performance both in graphical and terminal enviroments (Lighter than Ubuntu, for example).
· Very easy to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
· Maybe more difficult to start with than Ubuntu, because it dowsn't have "Store". Nevertheless, it is only a small effort to put all on the go.
· GUI is a bit "old fashioned" compared to Ubuntu, but easy to change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Debian as my standard testing Linux distribution for TCP/IP protocol stack behaviour and DNS, DHCP, LDAP, etc. server configuration. I realized this distro is perfectly suited for terminal usage, because all this tasks were done easily only on terminal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If this is your first experience with Linux, maybe you should try Ubuntu first, it's easier to start with it. Well, of course you need to know if you want a Debian-based distro or a Red Hat one, but I suppose you have it chosen if you are reading this. Nowadays, from my point of view Debian is better than all of derived distros, so you won't chose badly.

The maximum stable multipurpose server

  • October 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This cannot be achieved in Windows. For servers, private laptops, mail servers, etc., the operating system conversion is continuously carried out within the appropriate path. And thanks to the network, we can find assistance anywhere and even in French, many tables and clients, in addition to educational moving images, allow you greater control of Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, I have no issues with the operating system of the machine running Debian. I always have problems with the Ethernet ports, I don't understand why. This makes it especially obvious within the kernel and in the environment of computing devices. It requires prior knowledge in Linux to be able to use the machine running on the Debian console, which it now lacks. It already has some famous packages, for them those famous programs are changed to imitate the functionalities of those previously defined, which include Word, Excel, replaced by loose packages among specific software programs. Currently, I have no objections with the operating system of the Debian machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a low-cost method to have many servers at your disposal. Currently, in our company, it is used in the server environment, with applications that include SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents, stability, and fluidity. We have considered using Arch Linux, yes, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, etc. when updating, it is a horror, but still, it is too difficult to transport everything. The waiting time for updates or stable release variations could be very long. Currently, we use Debian for our virtual servers that are activated in an extraordinary variety of offerings, such as SFTP servers, Internet servers, and anti-DDOS rules with IPTABLES.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can implement Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to assure you the stability you need for a company. You can install Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to guarantee you the stability you want for a commercial enterprise.

The server is extra solid and robust.

  • October 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first-order aspect of Debian is the way it leverages assets. When you want to optimally use computer hardware, Debian is one of the high-quality alternatives. You can configure it to use resources in the best and most complete way. Whether it's exceptional software development for heavier IDEs or for virtualization, it has an excessive configuration capability that allows you to focus on the device for the task you need to perform, which is why it is one of my main alternatives when selecting an exceptionally functional machine. Additionally, I work at an employer where we deliver software programs on Debian and SuperMicro servers. I've even had issues with drivers, but in the community, I solve them in no time. If yours is to save money, you can have this system running as option number 3, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu. I have been using the operating device for years and have not had any major problems. I've had issues with drivers, but I solve them quickly anyway. If saving money is your thing, you could have this operating system as option number 3, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
The change can also seem tough. Only the points of attention are the wear and tear on interoperability with proprietary software programs, generally those through the non-standard Microsoft Windows community configuration, such as proprietary report codecs from Adobe, Oracle, and Autodesk. The substitute can seem tough. The time needed to look at software like VLC to replace · The installation is difficult for a consumer without understanding Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, our employer uses Debian in the server environment, with exceptional applications along with SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents, the stability and fluidity that Debian offers in combination with the hardware sources of our IT infrastructure, is truly a huge correct combination for problem-solving in our company. This ends in an advantage in productivity and a tremendous benefit in the economic system. It is much cheaper than Linux for the market of different operating systems. We have considered the use of Arch Linux safe, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, and so on when updating, it is a horror, but it is too difficult. Transporting everything to Arch for a new user will be very difficult, as it now does not provide instructions with Windows, which takes some time to get used to a Linux operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay unique attention to the needs of interoperability in case you rely on proprietary software. One of the fantastic Linux distributions, I quite suggest its use in server and laptop environments. One of the best Linux distributions. I fantastically propose its use within the server and desktop environment. You can paint under Debian effortlessly in a virtual machine in case you paint as a developer and automate many components with Ansible and Vagrant for environment improvement configuration. One of the greatest Linux distributions that I specifically approve of its use in the server and laptop environment. I extraordinarily support this operating system because it has very solid packages and its support community is very strong, they are always attentive and willing to help.

The great mother of the Linux distros

  • August 10, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well, I use Debian MATE as my personal workstation at work and at home. Also, I work at a company where we ship software along with Debian and SuperMicro servers. The maintainers of Debian are doing a really good job to keep up with maintaining compatibility with old packages.
This was the first Linux I installed, but it was too big for me. Now I realize it's very easy, but maybe painful to new users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The time you have to wait for software (for example, VLC) to update. You install them outside the package manager that can break dependencies. It's the way the distro is meant to, but it feels very far away from the new packages and updates.
I always have had problems too with ethernet ports, I don't know why. I use TP-Link cards usually and I always have to spend a lot of time fixing these types of errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are shipping software for the autoconfiguration of CPEs (GPON home routers, basically). My team is writing software in Python, Bash, and Javascript. The benefits are the stability. We have considered using Arch Linux (yes, due to some problems that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies etc when upgrading, it is a horror) but it's still too much hard to move everything to Arch. Now along with Ansible, we will make Debian even better, and we are happy with it. We are still using Debian 8 but we're targeting version 9.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, try MATE desktop environment!
