What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

The opensource nature of Wordpress and the HUGE plugin marketplace make this platform stand out

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love the wide variety of plugins available to tackle just about any project. From marketing campaigns to unique digital product or LMS platforms, Wordpress can do it all!

What do you dislike most about this product?

Because Wordpress is so ubiquitous in the online space, there are always new hacks coming out taking advantage of newly discovered security holes. Your entire site can end up being wiped out if you don't keep things up-to-date.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure to enable automatic updates & plugin updates. Do you homework on which plugins you integrate (only use active projects!).
