Plesk is a solid control panel

  • December 30, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is intuitive. The ability to manage multiple websites running WordPress (automated updates, backups, scans) is hands down the best in the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be sluggish when going back and forth. Some hosting/security features appear to be somewhat hidden. Plesk Helpdesk/Guides are outdated and reference to older versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a managed WordPress provider having the ability to quickly manage client's websites are important. This can be either be updates or rollbacks to a previous state when necessary.

Plesk review and recommendations

  • December 29, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A screen on the left side still offers users a better navigation interface. The colors given as default are nice as well. Compared to other server management tables, it runs quicker. Trial versions are often the most helpful ones and I am still recommend it to others, as it is compatible with Linux and Win.

More on Plesk: First is the price. I have always got cheaper server plans than any other for me and my customers using Plesk.
What do you dislike about the product?
Help for management by various web hosting companies such as WHMCS management, though addon, subdomain, and main domain are considered equal and counted with the same number if you set limits on the number of domains. Though user subscriptions are also complicated. Shift in policies from Obsidian to Plesk Onyx. No sync with other DNS clusters, such as cPanel's.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On Plesk servers, I tried to solve several problems, including mail, database, webserver, etc. The benefit I find in Plesk is that it has very strong log support, using which a server administrator can locate and address the root cause of the problems. Plesk also has very strong service manuals which offers different complaints with fixes/solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you come for multiple stack hosting growth, then if you come for productivity and have other better choices, then you go for them. For all the good it has, I would suggest it anyway. Not just because of 1 thing that I don't like. The Method Chart was a helpful list for me. While I can see numbers on the utilization of money, I can't bring myself to build on those. I haven't seen the downsides yet.

Plesk Contains web and email soulutions both

  • December 29, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Basically plesk supports both Windows and Linux based as well as postfix and qmail.

What I like most in plesk is Linux based solution, Easy, and fast configuration.With less updates and not require any reboot in production. windows mostly requires to be reboot and it suffers the operations .
While using linux its really easy for us take backup suchthat windows it self holds big operating system which cloud easy be compromised.
I strongly suggest the plesk should move with linux based solutions .
What do you dislike about the product?
WebUI of plesk is quite different and descriptive. Plesk need to upgrade its dashboard even its core configurations are really good and customizable but plesk seems like very complicated for non tech person which may lead to operation burden in terms of hiring a highly skills person. On the otherhand security is the major concern for webhosting and email solutions . we always like to deploy Linux based solutions because window is more vulnerable then Linux and easy to get compromise the entire machine .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The thing which I like most in plesk is Linux based solutions which is really amazing in terms of customizing plesk on our own. Since Linux support both postfix and qmail But Qmail segregates its all configuration with respect to file bases.
We can control the spam and user based restrictions, no of emails per user can send in a specific time duration.
On the other hand if a user gets blocked by qmail filters it can easily be unblocked by any non tech person.
Furthermore, webhosting solution is also good in terms of different version of php with different domains on a very low cost. Plesk is completely a cost effective solutions as compare to others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plesk is cost effective solutions as compare to others, You can deploy this on open source based operating system which may lead to reduce your subscription cost And you can find many thing on a single pane of glass.

Plesk is good alternative web panel, especially for windws folks

  • December 27, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It supports windows is what I liked. Though I will go with another panel in the case of Linux. It supports .Net which makes windows users easy to host shared architecture. Also the Support forums with accurate solutions which I liked the most. Mail Management, SSL Management, and Deployment are easy with Plesk. Also, File management setting permission is pretty easy to do. Extensions are very useful and WordPress and CMS are easy to install also. Easy upgrades and easy switching between PHP Versions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit complex when comes to the UI part. When someone from panels like Cpanel and Virtualmin shifts to Plesk it might get some time to understand the hierarchy and UI of Plesk. Hierarchy like Plan, Subscription, Users, Websites somehow confusing but one can figure out it through guides. Should make UI easy like Cpanel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Shared Hosting on windows is basically what I need which is solved by Plesk. It is easy for the windows server to manage through Plesk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plesk is a good choice for a shared hosting setup as it is compatible with Windows and Linux so if you are going to set up a hybrid Shared hosting using .net, PHP, Mysql and MSSQL do consider Plesk. But be sure you will not get Plesk and it's working in a one go you have to spend some time with Plesk to get the best out of it.

When you want to do anything that Plesk can't do, can be hard to work out how to make the change or add the server tool you want.

Make easy Servers management and Webhosting with Plesk

  • December 26, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Plesk is most popular hosting control panel among the most user-friendly hosting panels, The trail subscription is very helpful to understand the features.
As now these days Plesk Onyx produce the new ability to limit the amount of system resources like cpu memoty that can be used by a particular subscription or hosting account. This feature helps to prevent server abuse caused by either malicious or poorly written scripts. Some time the resources hungry web app consume all system resources. So the new feature will help to prevent such kind of activities.
It also allows you to properly organize the server panel for quicker browsing and easy access to frequently needed tools.

I am using plesk from long time as per my experience some features are good.
Easy installation and configuration
User Interface also good
The Various type of extensions (I mostly prefer for lite-speed )
Nginx reverse proxy plugins with cache.
Security
chroot environment
SSL Management
Stats management:- To see the traffic on the serer as well as domain
softwware installer
Plesk firewall
Plesk wordpress toolkit
Digicert SSL
What do you dislike about the product?
Less Proficiency in comparison to cPanel or LAMP or LEMP stacks as well as some other control panels which are well-organized and support multiple web server software.

Sometime get domains templates related issue and fail2ban firewall with plesk.
I am not satisfied with backup manager, The backup and restore process is complicated so Need to improve backup manger in easy like cpanel. As the cPanel backup manager is too good. we can take the backup many ways. and can restore in a single click
IP management is also not good need to improvement some create issue. It create the issue when we need to add multiple ips and interface.
Mail server management also need improve, Specially need to improve queue management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have use the plesk control panel to manage the multiple websites easily with different different prerequisites like some require multiple php version according the web app requiremnt. and also predefined nginx template with reverse proxy cache.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend the Plesk as it also offers some strong features to make things easier for beginners,
and keep the plesk up to date to avoid the vulnerabilities and get the latest features with smooth operations.
