Isaac Al Wahaibi - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable, scalable solution, and is easy to deploy
The look of Plesk can be improved by making it resemble a WHMCS. As of now, it is just a hosting environment. The solution should be more than a hosting environment because they are doing a really good job. I prefer to have something like WHMCS from Plesk itself, providing domain registration, providing reseller options, along those lines. The reseller option is there, but you can only resell web hosting. Plesk should be connecting to Google Workspace, and Office 365, it should be more than just a hosting environment. I would like the solution to be linked to, in terms of a reseller or a cloud, a provider, I would like to see Plesk be able to be integrated with the Google Workspace. So, we can resell Google Workspace from Plesk itself. We can use Office 365 over the Plesk panel itself.
