What do you like best about Plesk?

I've used a lot of web services in my career but Plesk is a platform that I am not going to let go. Managing hundreds on website instances, configuring servers, generating backups and updating WordPress plugins have never been so easy. It's centralized, secured in the cloud and reliable at all times. Best, we could install our Plesk server within minutes be it with IONOS Cloud or Google Cloud. Customer support is knowledgeable, kind and professional all the way. While we use Plesk daily, our major updrades are quarterly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Many of the add-ons are costly and it would be appreciated if a subscription package could be made available to get access to all of them at an affordable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plesk?

The Plesk is very simple to use with its design and is easy to navigate, as compared to the other competitor like c panel, it's a bit easy to use as cpanel has old traditional setting still in old look. It also has built-in security features, such as SSL certificate management and automatic malware scanning has a built-in WordPress Toolkit which allows users to manage their WordPress installations directly from the control panel. This includes automatic updates, backups, and security scans and the best and flexible licensing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Plesk offers support through its knowledge base, community forums, and paid support plans the database of support is very limited and not easily solvable also i have faced an issue with importing a new website on the hosting, which was little hectic task forme it also requires more server resources than other control panels, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plesk has easy-to-use navigation, and it helps me to even use it from my phone wherever i am. It has multi language support and helps my colleague to collaborate to the same. It is easy to have integration with WordPress and so its a good softwae to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plesk?

Plesk Obsidian has such an easy panel to update server components with latest fixes and additions for the panel itself and a big extension marketplace fullfill our needs. My favourite is WP Toolkit as it informs us for outdated Wordpress extensions and make it more secure with just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Obtaining free ssl (letsencrypt) is just tricky, they should implement an easy one click free ssl button to the panel instead of driving us into SSL menu, i have lost my way on it several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plesk is a perfect choice to manage web servers, has a nice GUI for creating new web hosts , mail hosts, installing new stuff and managing open source scripts like wordpress with it's pretty good extension marketplace. Makes us stay in the browser and with just few clicks we do tons of work without connecting to server on command line. We barely use command line as Plesk gives us nearly all the things we need to run a web server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plesk is a comprehensive control panel with many features and tools, which can make it complicated and overwhelming for some users, particularly those new to web hosting. Plesk is a commercial software product with a licence fee that may be prohibitively expensive for some users or small web hosting providers.
