What differentiates Kali Linux Penetration Testing from other similar products?

The continuous improvement kali is a very good thing. I have been using this since the days when Kali was called BackTrack. It is a very good OS when it comes to testing as most of the tools are pre-installed along with the drivers as well. But the OS is a bit laggy sometimes.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

wide variety of tools pre installed and ready to use

What do you dislike most about this product?

the OS is a bit laggy and sometimes the tools need to be re-installed, and the apt repos are slow

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

go for it, its a go to OS for red teamers.
