FreeBSD 10 is an excellent operating system, basically UNIX but modern.

What do you like best about the product?
FreeBSD performs well, even on older hardware. I have used it to continue using older hardware that would have otherwise been disposed of. It is secure and robust. It has excellent package management (pkg) and a large collection of ported software from Linux. Documentation is excellent (FreeBSD Handbook).
What do you dislike about the product?
Installation can be tricky for first-timers; you will probably need some experience with Linux before trying to use FreeBSD. You need to be comfortable using a command-line terminal most of the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As FreeBSD is free - the ROI is at least the cost of some commercial Linux or Windows based OS (which can be very expensive). It allowed me to re-use older hardware that would have otherwise been disposed. I used it as a no-cost development environment.
