"Cpanel works but needs an update"
What do you like best about cPanel?

The statistics and web builder templates are sufficient, you can even use wordpress. The storage amounts and bandwidth is up to par. It is not too expensive. It is a sophisticated tool for managing domains. The cyber security / security features are good. Other hosting sites could not handle the high volume of traffic that cpanel could handle.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

The webmail interface needs a huge makeover. The user interface on the e-mail client is terrible. Mobile interface and app needs help as well. Not super easy to use.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to maintain a professional image through my websites and domains. I am more independent using Cpanel and have more control over all webmaster functions.

"Good when it wants to be"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Not sure if I like anything about CP. It literally aches me navigating the menus, and without technical knowledge you'll probably break something. The login is spunky, but that's just about it. Part of my job is managing "corporate" email accounts and cpanel doesn't make it fun, I feel like visiting a webpage to do X will break Y if you try to visit Y before completing a Z action. A big 'old roundabout. Eugh.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Can't login to cpanel from bluehost, have to visit my bluehost webmail URL directly to login. The options for mailbox types are only two, both look hideous and gives me an eye sore. You must have used another email service in the past for a long time to know where to find settings and set your custom options. Always ask for default inbox type even though mine is already set. Anti-spam is weak, MS Outlook is much better. I could literally roast this program all day. I get that it comes with cpanel/bluehost but there is NOTHING advanced about it. I've come to appreciate Gmail and Outlook more now after having to face cpanel and cpanel webmail.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing client site, checking webmail accounts. I avoid it for anything else.

"CPANEL is now very expensive"
What do you like best about cPanel?

The Cpanel is the most usable Control Panel in the industry and it is mostly easy to use for our clients and it also provides us much convenient server management but it has no security feature and we have to buy cloudlinux separately for the cagefs services so I do not like why to pay for cpanel if no client isolation is available . Cpanel has builtin reseller panel for resellers so I can resell the servers to many clients.The client can start his own webhosting company from reseller and can do his own business without any fear or loss of investmenet and completely white labeled

What do you dislike about cPanel?

The Cpanel increased the prices too much and started charging on basis of the number of account which is so painful and expensive to webhosting companies like us so it urged us to move from cpanel to anyother platform so I moved the CWP pro platform and cwppro only cost me $12 per year and give me same type of control panel

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

The cpanel was much easier to use for my users and webdevs so I liked that as it provides filemanges and other things

"Too much limitations for power use"
What do you like best about cPanel?

I appreciate that it makes web admin duties easy and automated for beginners

What do you dislike about cPanel?

What I dislike is that it blocks everything you would do form the terminal. I can’t do my job anymore because cOanel and WHM are in control!

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

My boss was using it when he was the only person to work on his VPS because he is not really a tech person

"cPanel is not intuitive"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Not much. This software is hard for me to use. Nothing is where I expect it to be and I waste a lot of time just looking for things.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Its customer service support isn't very good, either. Takes days to resolve the most mundane issues.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is email software and I email through it. Being able to communicate is a benefit.
