Among Top Server Management Control Panels. Must Try by any Server Administrators.
What do you like best about the product?
The Simplicity of User Interface, Side panel. Panel on the left side always gives users a better interface for navigation. Colors given as default is also good. It works faster as compared to others server management panels. Trial versions has always been most helpful. I would always recommend it to others, also for it is compatible in both environment Linux or windows. Upsides of using Plesk: Fist is the pricing: I have always got cheaper server plans for me and my clients using Plesk as compared to any other.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scroll in the main page on right, page where we get install apps options. When we click some options on the left panel, sometimes we see there is a Scroll with further options. This part looks complex and bit old fashioned. This can certainly be improved by alternatives. I would anyhow recommend it for all the good it has. Not just because of 1 thing I dislike. Process List has been list helpful for me. Even though I can see statistics for resources being used, I can not help improving on those myself. Downsides I have not seen yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I host my websites. I have used it on windows and linux environment both. Mostly whenever I have purchased hosting plans, I have got Plesk along with the plan. Once I did install VPS and configured Plesk on it. I have always used it to publish websites live and for giving few web based apps with login option to my clients. It helps me implementing my web apps and website live without going through complex command prompt process. I can easily manage my domains, users, databases, emails settings, ssl and more.
Easy website management.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Automatic Plesk & system updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few times the automatic updates have failed, but those were probably due to hardware failure or system update’s own failure (apt/yum failed).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website management.
Powerful and Feature Packed, Yet Lacks Ease of Use
What do you like best about the product?
The system management is much better than it's competitors. I have been using a dedicated linux machine for production and our team member also require access to the system. If we change vhost settings though SSH, the changes are automatically reflected in the portal. But we find is much faster to configure our sites through Plesk than to use the SSL.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite often the steps we find to accomplish something are entirely different on out version of Plesk and it's hard to find how to do the same thing in the same version.
Another thing, due to mistake of another developer, some important files were deleted which caused PLESK and all our hosted sites to stop working. Luckily SSH access was still working and we got no support from Plesk saying that since the plesk cannot connect to the machine, they can't help us. It took us some time to fix the problems but we were all on our own.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For day-to-day tasks, server management is way way easier than SSHing and editing config files. The logs are very useful for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always keep Plesk updated or you are going to be in trouble
Easy and professional web server administration for the masses
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that anyone can easily get one running, and quickly progress into hardening security, monitoring performance and increase reliability on a shared hosting platform with a somehow intuitive GUI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the details I disliked over the years were generally related either to features we didn't use or that were designed with a more broader scope in mind. Once I learned the intended use and understood the big picture it all made sense. Currently the only dislike I have is log rotation - still not doing what it's supposed to do and keeping a 3GB log fie for a single website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sorting out some "not yet fully understood" PHP-FPM issues, not sure if website related, Plesk related or infrastructure related. Benefits realized so far are GUI related and plethora of available plugins.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read documentation as some of the features are intended for large implementations and may not be applicable in the same way you expect. Test all new functionalities separately. Read thoroughly before using LVE Manager.
An application with extensive functions to manage a hosting service
What do you like best about the product?
If I have to choose a simple phrase to describe Plesk, it would be "feature rich". It is possible to manage emails, files, databases, backup copies and more from this application. The documentation is excellent and very detailed. The user interface is simple and clean. I also consider that it has an affordable cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues, I never had a problem implementing Plesk or with their customer service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Plesk I can easily monitor our company website server and can easily fix errors. There are many repair solutions available, such as database restoration or load monitoring.

Most helpful thing in the Plesk is it's user friendly UI to understand and operate things easily for non technical people as well.
