Interface is very simple and clear. There is no fancy thing inside this OS. Just install it and start doing your work.

What do you dislike?
Although interface is simple, I will urge CentOS team to make it little attractive. Make all the software available for this version. Make sure once people switch to CentOS, they won't go away.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am a developer in my company and the software or website which we develop, are under great security and we are hereby use CentOS, highly secured and super fast. Optimization of RAM is so powerfull that we don't ever have any lagging issue.
Top of that CentOS doesn't have any bloatware and ads so we are rest assured that we are not exposed to any security.
Being a developer, we don't want to rely on any third party software to work on. CentOS provides all the necessary setup to feel like home.

Best open source OS. ❤️
What do you like best?
The best thing about CentOs is that it has all the features of Red Hat EL but FREE.
It is fast, GUI is awesome and works great for Hosting your websites and databases.
Since it is Open source, if you encounter any issue in the system /server, you can just google the issue and I'm sure you will get all your answers.

Grea light weight option for your containerised application OS
What do you like best?
The OS is quite abstract and lightweight which leads to installation of packages as per the need of user. This can help to get an isolated environment for your application running which can make developer life easy to have same environment everywhere.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes finding packages which are needed by the application can be painful and hence leads to hit and trial. In that case, leading to a different OS is not the solution which can slow down th development speed.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Containerised application operating systems which helps to isolate the application in a dedicated environment. This is helping to avoid dependencies issue on production servers and parallel processing with different OS running at the same time.
Stable and secure Linux
What do you like best?
CentOS is very secure and stable system, it has Easy installation process with sensible and secure defaults. Its very stable and reliable.High performance on the average hardware.
What do you dislike?
To maintain maximum stability, software packages may not be the latest and greatest versions but you can easily compile their source code yourself if a packaged version is missing certain functionality.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Deployed web services ,CentOS runs very basic software and will run much faster than other similar Linux distributions.
