We heavily use cPanel to manage web hosting accounts in our company. Simple because it is the customer's choice, customers are so in love with the dashboard and features cPanel provides.

best thing is that email ids specific to the domain can created for free with it.

cPanel easily allows you to perform all the necessary and imaginable operations that would require a myriad of commands on different types of machines and software from a single responsive web panel that is very easy to use even for those not experienced in the IT sector or the specific application categories of all the features that cPanel contains. My use of it is for creating FTP and SFTP accounts with and without specific permissions and advanced authentication methods like pubkey auth (with a private key that can be generated directly from cPanel) and in managing the individual inboxes of my domain with a particular focus on user quotas and spam filtering criteria. In this regard, I find the native integration between cPanel and Apache SpamAssassin truly efficient and functional.
