Some of the highlights are mentioned below: - Backups are performed regularly. - Easy backup recoveries. - Simple and intuitive website management. - Support for migrations from various known systems. - Git, Nginx, Node etc comes out of the box and easy to setup. - Due to the intuitive UI, the learning curve is mild so any new user can pick up really quickly and get started in no time > > **Cons**: There's nothing majorly wrong with Plesk but of course, nothing is perfect so it has some issues with version controlling and CI/CD setups as it sometimes does not works as expected with could potentially result in not fetching properly from the remote repository and ultimately failing CI/CD pipeline. Apart from the above issue, it works smoothly > > As a developer, Plesk is now my first choice to go with always and I also recommend it to my clients as my experience with the community was excellent. It does a great job in providing system insights in a really simple way. ----- ### "Plesk Review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 November 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mostly everything\! Plesk is great platform for managing a large number of website for clients. You can create and customise your own subscription plans, limiting or extending resources per client. The software is intuitive and you have available the essential features for managing website hosting. > > **Cons**: One missing feature that would be very useful. The ability to upgrade your databases to newer versions of MySQL (5.5 \> Current). Plesk already provides the capabilty to upgrade the PHP versions per website. Having the feature to upgrade the databases would be an extremely useful addition. > > A great experience\! If you are uncomfortable with performing updates, changes or maintenance via a command line. Plesk allows you to perform most of these tasks through a user interface. It's an ideal CRM for web hosting. ----- ### "Simply the best" — 5.0/5 > **Giancarlo** | *16 September 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's constantly updated, feature rich, strong disaster recovery features > > **Cons**: It could have better built in antispam features > > Came to Plesk from a proprietary panel, found the community heartwarming and their support spot on. ----- ### "Best server managment software" — 5.0/5 > **Divaldo** | *7 January 2023* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Without a doubt, plesk is an excellent tool for its simplicity in managing servers and the large community it has that facilitates learning and managing servers on a daily basis. Plesk360 was the best solution that the functionalities have ever added, as it allows you to manage several servers in a single environment, where you can access any server comfortably and control the licenses. > > **Cons**: In the last 2 years Plesk has changed its prices and at this moment what I least like is the pricing. > > It is very simple to manage servers, update, support clients due to the simple interface and stability, for me as an advanced user I use the terminal command that was added a lot and eliminates the need to connect to servers via VNC or putty. ----- ### "Easy to use, powerful and configurable" — 5.0/5 > **Jose A** | *24 July 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - PHP versions handler and nginx options for every website. - Full backup options: Incremental and integration with external sites - Fail2ban and others security options. - Extensions Catalog for more features - Updates manager for Plesk and OS system packages. - WordPress Tool Kit to work with this popular CMS most easy and with bulk options - Online control panel with intuitive dashboards and CLI options for Shell also - Manage easy Let's Encrypt and others SSL certificates for every website - Active 'User Voice' (plesk.uservoice.com) > > **Cons**: - It isn't Open Source. - It needs better options for configure cache systems. - It needs more options for limit RAM/CPU and other resources by website/subscription/client. - It needs easy options for upgrade default PHP version for run by system/Plesk. - It needs Better support in spanish and others languages. - There isn't a lot of extensions in catalog - It needs more options for development stage easy with every website - It needs license plans more flexibles > > I work with multiple websites runing WordPress and others CMSs as PrestaShop or Drupal. Plesk let me configure and optimice every website hosting as I preffer with múltiple options: PHP versions, SSL, Backups, etc. Also, I can work with sync and bulks options.
