Which is more secure cPanel or Plesk?

I have hears from a few web hosting admins that cpanel is far more secure security wise than Plesk.

cPanel seem to allow generation of very strong passwords, a feature Plesk does not seem to have.

If you use both cPanel and Plesk in your company, which one do you find most secure?

would have to go with cpanel/whm, it's better than plesk

I would say it depends how well we secure the server.
My advice would be

WHM/Cpanel + CSF / APF + a IDS of your choice.

Never had any experience with PLesk so i cant really comment on it

I prefer cPanel since the first website hosted, and I have never had big security complaints. I used plesk as well, but unfortunately not long enough to tell how secure it is.

cpanel is best and secure compared to plesk.

CPanel is way more secured and has way better features then plesk has. Plesk is easy to hack into whereas cpanel isn't. Cpanel provides a better security platform where you can set stronger passwords something that plesk does not offer. I been using cpanel/whm since day one 5+ years of owning a webhosting company and have had no problem at all with hackers plus I hackerproof my entire server anyway :)
