What needs improvement?
Using open-source, Excel-based tools is not very user-friendly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I can rate the scalability at 7.5 to 8 because I was confused between the database Postgres and MariaDB. I had some questions from customers regarding this matter, and I would rate it at 8 in terms of scalability.

What other advice do I have?
I am not using Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages version 18 specifically. Whatever versions come up over a period of time, we have been kept up to date on all of them.
I do not have specific features that stand out for me. The team on the ground may have some better benefits to discuss. Regarding Snap packages and their deployment process, the technical team could better answer those questions.
The integration capability of Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages is more about integrating the applications that run on top of it rather than integrating Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages itself. I am not integrating any automation tools with Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages, such as Ansible.
Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages does help to manage diverse workloads across different environments. I can provide an example of how it helps. We have customers who have almost 10,000 users spread across different regions with four to five different servers where the data is interconnected. With Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages being on most of the servers, this integration works effectively.
I would give this review an overall rating of 8.
