What is your favorite aspect of this product?

WordPress is incredibly easy to implement and manage, even for someone who has very little experience with web design

There should be a lot more built in security features, but instead you have to rely on third party add ins and keep them updated which is frustrating and risky.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure you consult a professional on the security side of things and keep wordpress and all add ins up to date

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress.com provides me the ease of use because backed code is way easier to understand for users and it provides me search engine enhancement.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We can have control of your site easily because for every update I do not need to concern my website developer we make our updates; all the controls are in my hands. As it is a blogging platform so it helps me to make your site more idolize and allow you all settings to use those are built in such as commenting.

What do you dislike most about this product?

In WordPress.com hacking chances are high because of its open-source platform and you are provided with limited templates. There are limitations in designing your website look. As it is running on the server so needs more resources than a single web page so often it is very slow.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It provides an interface to the website owner to manage their content database easily that is named as a dashboard in the application. You do not need any HTML editing or any file transfer protocols required for it because all it has it's built-in functionality. You can manage it from any kind of computer no specialty needed because it is a browser-based application you just need an internet connection to log into it easily so it can be accessed from any type of device. You only need two components to work on your own server: one is PHP because word press is written in PHP language and you need MYSQL for database purposes.

Pros

Performance Enhancing
Trustworthy
Unique Features
Effective Service

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

Its just a really simple easy to use product for running websites/content management

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Easy of use to setup and train new employees - its very intuitive to almost anyone once you spend a few hours logged in

What do you dislike most about this product?

They sometimes do annoying things like when they forced everyone on Guttenberg update which i really did not like - had to use plugin to override it - anyone who uses wordpress will know what i mean

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There are more options now like weebly or even shopify which you may want to consider but i have no intention of using anything besides wordpress going forward for any sites i work with - i think my plan is even free which makes it even better!

Pros

Enables Productivity
Appreciates Incumbent Status
Security Protects
Helps Innovate

Cons

Commodity Features
Slower Product Innovation
