In my opinion, CFX is more user friendly, although Fluent users tend to debate that

Fluent uses a classical finite volume method and has many options for PV coupling (segregated and coupled). CFX uses the control volume finite element method is only a coupled solver. They have similar models implemented and probably similar accuracy overall. I've heard Fluent is a bit faster on average.

CFX is particularly good for turbomachinery and stiff multiphase problems since it can solve the volume fractions coupled. And the general grid interfaces are very useful.
