My personal opinion is that I tried switching to Plesk after working on cPanel all my life and I went back to cPanel not because Plesk wasn't good only becuase of the familiar feel I had with cPanel and only thing that stood out for plesk was that the user interface is a bit cleaner than cPanel.
They are both equally good.

I think cPanel and Plesk are almost same, both of them give you the complete control over a vast amount of functions and tools to manage your website.
The only difference is that a hosting package integrated with cPanel usually offers more add-on applications than the one with Plesk like Fantastico 1-click installer, RV Skins, and CSF firewall. As compared with cPanel, Plesk does not support any third party applications. I use cPanel and I don't think that I need to switch to another control panel, its working great for me.

Hi.
The correct answer is: With which you feel more comfortable and better you drive to work. I personally prefer cPanel & WHM.
cPanel & WHM would be the best Ferrari of cars.

I believe cPanel is much easier to use and if you have access to Softaculous it makes it easier to manage. Just have to be on top of the Wordpress security patches.

Plesk's wordpress toolkit makes it an amazing tool for wordpress, it tells you when updates on core, themes, plugins etc are in place. However that being said, get to using it and plesk will probably jack up the price on you double digits % per year, or more!

You do not need any control panel to set websites, or to install wordpress, however people are using them in case they dont know how to to install requirements like httpd server, mysql database, PHP environment and to simplify entire process.
But even if you dont know how to install those, there are many automated scripts available which can install it automaticly and help you to make it work.

I have not used Plesk personally but I am using cPanel based WordPress for the maximum sites. cPanel really has the great options to handle the WordPress website for main domain, addon domains as well as sub-domains. SoftaCulous or Instralltron Application Installer in cPanel allows you to install it. You can setup the backups as well as upgrades using the cPanel for your WordPress website.

Funny, seems many of you have not had a real look at Plesk yet. The Plesk User Experience is far ahead of cPanel and I'm sure you will love it if you try the latest release Plesk Onyx 17.8.
Regarding the comment about "you don't need a Control Panel to install WordPress": it's not about installing WordPress, it's all about working and maintaining WordPress. And here Plesk is actually far ahead of any competition. cPanel can install WordPress, but what about creating test stages, cloning, update management, automatic backups, security checks and WordPress hardening, defining pre-installed plugins & themes, etc.? This can only be done with Plesk since your WordPress Management solution requires full access to NGINX and Apache configurations.
I don't need to convince you, stay without a Control Panel or with cPanel if you wish. But don't say the other solution is better if you haven't compared them. I myself can say I tested cPanel, DirectAdmin, LiveConfig, ServerPilot, InfiniteWP, ManagedWP - and I find Plesk Onyx best of all of them.

Sure: for all my sites (WordPress and custom php sites) I use NGINX and php7-fpm. The latest Plesk Onyx 17.8 does even provide automatic NGINX caching that can be switched on in the UI. My sites have all page load times of less than 1 second. I run all my sites meanwhile with Plesk on DigitalOcean, but tried many other solutions before.

I think that was covered earlier in this thread (maybe another?), but it works out of the box nicely. You can set PHP to run via nginx or proxy to apache for each domain. Each domain can have custom configs for http and nginx set by the admin in Plesk. So if a site wants to run as nginx but they have rewrites needed, that can be done easily for them. And those can be set via the API .

CPanel - As It runs on Linux which not only is a Free OS, it is more efficient and the OS does not use as much resources, meaning your site will have more resources to use
