Plesk review
What do you like best about the product?
Plesk is well known web hosting control panel, albeit it lags a bit behind cPanel in terms of sheer popularity. Plesk is also a proprietary offering, though it supports both Linux and Windows servers. Most of its frontend has been coded in PHP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not user friendly like other hosting control panel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plesk allows for easy management of domains on our server and to give our clients the ability to log in and manage their own sites which is wonderful.

Great program for a busy business
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to manage sites and clients from the control panel and is easy to adapt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Took a long time to set up and is quite expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Total lifesaver for managing websites and creating databases, databases, add email, etc. Scheduling is also a huge benefit and making things run smoother and quicker.
If you know nothing about Linux and need a web server Plesk is good
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily administer a server for novices trough a GUI is nice. However for power users or users who want more control, not using Plesk is the way to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a little novice which I guess is the point. It’s also limited in what can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For novice users who want to administer their server but don’t know command line, this fits the bill.
Easy solution to run your websites and servers without issues
What do you like best about the product?
The easiness to have multiple websites up and running in a few minutes.
The Wordpress management is super intuitiv and comes with a lot of extras
I also like the great reactions in the facebook group of Plesk because if you ever encounter a problem there is always someone with a solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
The first setup was a little bit to long but as it is only a first setup it doesn't disturb that much. In the meantime this has changed and a lot of things got optional.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting and operating multiple websites and web projects. You have everything where you want and need it and thanks to extensions you can nearly do everything inside Plesk without leaving the control panel or switch to another tool.
There was a great blog article about setting up your wordpress with varnishe thanks to the docker integration. After having my testsites live with cache I moved nearly all websites on that server behind the varnish cache. Never thought it is that easy.

I used it for a dot net website control panel and it more better than other hosting control panel that support dot net hosting.

If you have multiple servers, you can control all of them from a single control panel. Plesk is more secure than other hosting control panel and its not only for linux user. It’s a robust cross-platform alternative to cPanel that has many features that cPanel could only dream of.
Greatest Panel

I have seen many Docker integrations/dashboards/etc and I was positively surprised when I saw that Plesk Onyx installed a version of Docker that had been released earlier.
The price quality ratio is really competitive.

Useful backend hosting system
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a command line based hosting environment, I have found that Plesk is relatively easy to get used to. It does require somewhat of a learning curve however trying to find out where everything is buried, but does have everything in one spot rather than dotted around like on command line for hosting management setup.
Do like DNS configuration as this is extremely easy to get ones head around rather than the piece meal systems that most other providers use. TTL did require a chat with hosting providers in order to enable this within Plesk.
Also being able to swap and change PHP version is also quite handy expecially when wanting to upgrade to PHP7 when the code is ready, simply click and done other than a huge faff of doing an update via command line.

What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve, everything is there its just a question of finding out exactly where it is buried. Also the other issue is updates to the system can sometimes fail, which require another round the evening later to be successfully completed. On one occasion had PHP-FPM fail due to some configuration issue within the backend of Plesk, our hosting providers were able to sort this with an upgrade to Plesk, perhaps some additional testing by Plesk would route out issues like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting platform
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to check out the manual so you can find everything, failing that contact a 3rd party contractor to give you an hours run through so you can find everything or prepare to be frustrated at where everything is buried!
