What do you dislike about the product?
* Something costly
* Many add-ons imply additional recurring costs.
* The TCO of the solution tends to be elevated even for simple solutions.
* Although normally it does not have security flaws, these exist.
* Plesk handles the recurring collection of the license (either monthly or annually) through a third party, if it expires it can be a hell to renew it, make sure you never fall into that situation.

We use Plesk as a control panel of our web hosting services for our clients, from the point of view of ease of use, clarity of information displayed, and manageable settings, it is a great tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Our best recommendation is to take advantage of the trial period provided by Plesk, examine the options and support material on the website, in particular the administrative guides.
Also, calculate very well the add-ons you are going to use, many have costs, that although for some cases they are not high, they are recurrent, and everything adds up.
Despite having some security measures, it is an aspect that can not be neglected, nor rely completely on this software.

Long time Plesk user for SMB/multiple domain management
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface makes server management and installation of modules/features intuitive. Plesk has also introduced some great features and modules over the years including NGINX, Google PageSpeed, multiple PHP version management. It has allowed me to progress from a novice to advanced server admin over the last decade – as I have got busier with work, Plesk still does the heavy lifting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Plesk has been relatively slow to adopt features – for example they were not immediate to adopt theGoogle PageSpeed module (mod_pagespeed) or LetsEncrypt however this may be over critical as this is only from my personal experience and requirements and there have usually ways to install cutting edge or beta technologies for development/testing such as through the servers CLI. That said, when implemented, the modules and configuration options/levels of customisation are well considered and stable. Their development roadmap makes sense in this context.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing time between web development and server management. Allowing us to focus on areas of the business with higher margin (e.g. website development and design) and not spending unnecessary time managing servers. The Plesk mobile apps also provide reassurance when we are off site that our services are running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try.
Excellent Control Panel
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Plesk for approximately 10 years now. It's grown from a good product to an awesome product that I don't live without for our commodity hosting customers
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing not to like is the changes between versions when some things are moved around. This is typical with almost any product however, from web services to operating systems. It's a fairly minor dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit is managing our smaller websites and let's customers manage their own settings. It makes it easy to handle things without having to set everything up manually.
The best web control panel management software available
What do you like best about the product?
So far the ability to add docker containers, along with the amazing support given by Plesk.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldnt even say its a dislike, but getting used to the layout and way things work can take some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me with the addition of docker support I have been able to roll out services not typically available in a web control panel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely recommend Plesk.
