From domain controller services to DHCP, Print server, file sharing, RADIUS, and more. > > **Cons**: Maybe the fact taht it doesn't have a Spanish version, I've wrote them asking if they haver any project to release new version in Spanush language for wich I'd be pleased to cooperate. > > I've implemented a couple of organizations which didn't have a Domain Controller, so Univention provides high quality service and flexibility. ----- ### "Modern easy to administrate Linux Server Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Christian** | *September 28, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the great advantages in UCS is the UCS Domain concept (Master - Backup -Slave Server roles) where the LDAP and AD (Samba4) Domain is replicated from Master to Backup role servers and in fact of loosing the Master Server you are easily able to promote a Backup Role Server to the new Master Role Server. Also very impressive is the Management over the UCS WebFrontend - where you are able to administrate your whole Infrastructure (DHCP, DNS, SAMBA, LDAP, USERS, GROUPS, MACHINES,etc) > > **Cons**: we are using UCS on 5 installations on 5 independent customers (from 5 to 50 Users) since about 3 years - and till today I can't tell any cons as there are nothing that did not work or made problems in the last 3 years > > As Microsoft discontinued SBS2011 Server with no AD/Mailserver combo available - myself and all my small Customers searched for a valid replacement - and there we tested some Linux Distributions but non of them had the possibilities that UCS Server gave us. A nice part of UCS is the AD-Takeover APP which allowed us to migrate the SBS2011 AD Domain to UCS without changing anything on the joined clients (no rejoin was needed) and to take over allaccounts ----- ### "Corporate culture" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *March 16, 2019* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Functionality of the software to educate and learn oneself to improve skillset > > **Cons**: Editable , customized features can be tricky ----- ### "The swiss army knife in IT" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *October 1, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Univention Corporate Server is a very flexible but robust enterprise software. It runs very stable, scales with your needs, and is easily extensible by various apps. We are using it for almost 10 years now for ourselves as well as on dozens of customers, from single server instances to hosting clusters or backups on various locations with many servers. > > **Cons**: Its versatility is also a "con": If you extended your UCS by apps from the appstore you are dependend from the app vendor. > > There are so many use cases: - Use it as virtualization host with the UVMM (Univention virtual machine manager) - Use it as identity management system (LDAP, Samba) - Use it as Active Directory replacement or addition - Use it as a web-UI for managing identities (users, groups, etc) for other application like Kopano - Use it as centralized printer management - Have a backup system on every location as a fallback and to keep latencies low - ... ----- ### "Univention UCS - A real world alternative to M$ Active Directory" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *September 8, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Robustness \& reliability. Having used UCS for over 5 years in my own business I am now integrating it into my customers IT infrastructure. It is obvious from the rock solid stability of the platform it's the product of an organisation who employs the highest levels of stringent software development \& engineering. > > **Cons**: There is very little I don't like about UCS. Occasionally, the web management interface (UMC) will not accomplish some tasks \& some command line admin is required. So from that perspective less technically inclined folk might find it lacking. But for anyone with basic linux admin skills it's a breeze to work with. > > As an IT service provider in the SMB space I've found the demise of Microsoft SBS is posing many issues for customers. Univention UCS is a perfect fit for SBS replacement \& requires much less in the way of hardware resource overhead for any given environment. Univention's approach of partnering with a wide range of software vendors to integrate their products into the UCS platform provides a wide range of easy to implement solutions for all sorts of needs. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2037599/univention-corporate-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2037599/univention-corporate-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
