What do you like best about the product?
Stability: FreeBSD is known for its stability and reliability. It is designed to run for long periods of time without crashing or requiring a reboot.
What do you dislike about the product?
While FreeBSD has a large collection of software available through its ports system, it may not have as many software packages available as some other operating systems, such as Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Supports advanced virtualization features such as Jails and Zones, which allows for creating and managing isolated, lightweight virtual environments.

It really depends on what you want to use it for.

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility and stability of a UNIX system is what's great about FreeBSD. I used to use it while in university, and I enjoyed it a lot, however, it has its downsides as well, such as software compatibility, etc. which I think must have improved a lot since then.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so great compatibility with various software. You need to go out of your way to find the software that is compatible with the OS, however, this has improved in recent years, and also it depends on what you want to use the OS for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open source, strong and stable UNIX based OS that helps developers and users in many ways to solve the problems in their day-to-day work and to get tasks done effectively.

LOVE FreeBSD Unix!

Our favorite and beloved FreeBSD Unix is here! Thank You! :-)

This is a rock solid Open-Source Unix from the BSD family, created by real Unix gurus with strong real world experience since 199x, without enforced changes ideology, amazingly friendly to configure and maintain in the long term, uses /etc/rc.conf text file system wide configuration, lots of precompiled packages allows out-of-the-box automations to bring a service in just seconds/minutes, lots of ported Open-Source-Software (so called FreeBSD Ports) in the /usr/ports also makes it possible to build your own customized features of the desired packages.

BSD license allows you to close-source your final product (see Apple's OSX/macOS, Sony's PlayStation, etc), but FreeBSD is still pioneering the real Open-Source innovation that later shows up in other OS (i.e. TCP/IP/IPv6 stack, Ports, Jails Sandboxing, bhyve supervisor/virtualization, ZFS filesystem, and many many more).

Latest release of stable FreeBSD 13 with patch 7 at the time of writing this. Ready to use with no unnecessary services enabled.

Excellent standard release

This image is the FreeBSD 13.0 release image, it contains the OS as shipped by the FreeBSD release team with the rest of the bits for it to work well in AWS.

The release doesn't have any extra stuff bolted on and is exactly what you need for the base of a FreeBSD deployment in the cloud.

This is the latest official AMI from the FreeBSD project. The power to serve brought to your local VPC. Lots of work has gone into v13 and can’t recommend it enough.
