Overall Satisfaction with Plesk

We wanted a user-friendly alternative to the famous cPanel for a web server.
It is easier to use and more intuitive, and the dashboard is modern.
There are a handful of valuable integrations, for example, an SEO tool kit and built-in backup functionality.

We can administer WordPress websites, themes and plugins from the dashboard without going into the WordPress backend.

Pros

  • Backup Manager
  • Database Manager
  • Plugin Manager
  • Application Manager

Cons

  • Better integration with independent WAF tools like Wordfence
  • Create a simple function for staging sites and to push from staging to live
  • Provide function to back-up DNS settings before making changes
  • Time-saving on administration
  • Speeds up workflows
  • Faster Email management

Do you think Plesk delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Plesk's feature set?

Yes

Did Plesk live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Plesk go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Plesk again?

Yes

Plesk is well suited for SMB/SME companies that provide managed services and website hosting, as you can connect both pieces of this puzzle using the platform. Plesk is the best server management tool currently, and very reasonably priced.

If you're a reseller and want the software to manage multiple client hosting accounts on reliable servers such as AWS or Google, or Digital Ocean, Plesk is a great choice. It's beneficial if your client uses WordPress or Joomla, as it has a lot of direct integrations/tools to support this.
