I'd wager that the open source nature of the CentOS Enterprise distribution is arguably the best feature there is to it, encompassing all it has to offer. However, to name a few, I have seen CentOS as the OS of choice for new Interns in the industry due to the os being an enterprise version. Another great feature is the small size of the CentOS minimal which allows me to spin up a new VM easily whenever I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite all the great features that CentOS has to offer, there is a particular hurdle which one needs to overcome to finally accept CentOS. This is that everytime we create a new installation, we need to manually setup and configure all the DHCP settings, without which, the OS cannot update. I have seen a lot of people frustrate over this and I have had my fair share of this problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
