Good for new deployments, bad for migrations

Plesk looks like a pretty powerful web server admin panel and I'm sure it has lots of fans but if you are looking to migrate existing WordPress servers, you may want to look elsewhere. I spent a week trying to get its Site Import tool to work, eventually giving up.

The GUI makes it look like things are easy and clean but if you try some trivial task like creating an FTP user, you still have to go under the hood and mess with Linux config files to make things work.

I don't see the point of paying for a GUI tool if I still have to do things manually anyway.

I'm removing my subscription and trying open source web panels.
