What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress.com occupies a very a large chunk of CMS which means it has the largest community of users and consequently you will have greater chances of traffic and an audience than with any other platform

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The WordPress reader which allows you to interact with content from all over the WordPress community which makes it easy to build an audience without having to only rely on the traditional strategies like sharing on social media

What do you dislike most about this product?

I feel the feautures are limited compared to when you use an open source self-hosted version of the product and although you may get the same customisations and the price on the updates is hostile to a simple blogger

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You can start up with the free plan which lets you do everything that you need expert that you wont be able to use a custom domain and if your needs a simply to have a home for your content you can have the blogger or personal which and then you can upgrade as you out grow the plans or pick upon features that you really require as you get credits towards your upgrade.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing

Less Fair
