Login to panel using standard SSL port with additional IP address only used for Panel login.
Plesk default configuration needs to use TCP 8443. This port is blocked by many corporate firewalls and generally looks tacky that the user needs to specify this in a URL.
There are numerous posts on how to achieve this using a dedicated IP address for the Plesk Panel, while all other functions including mail, web, dns use the real Plesk IP address.
Parallels should allow this configuration and support it where a secondary IP address can be assigned to Plesk Panel instead of using the non standard SSL port of 8443.4 votesA panel cannot physically work on standard port since it resides on different web server and the standard port is already taken by a standard web server.

Ad Web-Browser for accessing local config-pages of 3rd-party services
An integrated Web-Browser for accessing configuration-pages of 3rd-party services on localhost would be fine.
For example:
We are using "Fuseki" wich is a RDF-Query server. This Service comes with a Web-accessible configuration-interface and does not support authentication. So i limited access to "localhost" because i dont want to make this thing public. But i want to make the config-page available to admins. It would be great it they just can open a browser from inside plesk-panel and enter the localhost-URL of the service-page. (Maybe with bookmarks). The browser itself my be limited to localhost-access for security reasons.1 voteUnfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Prove moodle upgrades before offer it. Moodle 2.5.1. does not let upload files. I had to reinstall manually my old moodle and lost many time. Don not offer the upgrade for any app that is not proper working, please.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion.
We are verifying updates of top applications (like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and few others), but we are not committed to verifying updates of all applications.
Realistically we are not planning to fully verify each update of each application in APS catalog. So general precaution for updates is recommended – same if you were going to update it from their original download.

1 voteCron service itself decides what is safe time to run daily tasks, Plesk doesn’t control it
If on Linux, check out /etc/crontab for setting comfortable time:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/_ # run-parts
37 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
_ # !!! edit the line below !!!
17 0 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
4 0 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
15 5 10 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthlyIt will change all your daily tasks, not just Plesk updates

Update Mobile Server Manager to not store the admin password.
The Mobile Server Manager is quite handy. However, I do not feel secure knowing that if one of my mobile devices fell into the wrong hands, my Plesk servers could be compromised.

domains from subscriptions in own /var/www/vhosts folder
Since Plesk 11.5.x, the folder structure has been optimized but unfortunately only the first domain in "/var/www/vhosts/firstdomain" of subscriptions stored. Other domains of a subscription then so "/var/www/vhosts/firstdomain/second domain" placed under the first domain which is very suboptimal.

upload backup from another server
If you backup your subscription in server X and go on to server Y and upload the backup you got from server X it will be successfully uploaded but customer can't see it or use it. Admin also can't see it. It just gets server space.
So plesk backups are useless between plesk servers and also malicious customers can abuse the servers disk space easily and untraced !3 votesUnfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Integrate munin
Integrate munin monitoring tools, just one click and see all data :)
7 votesAt the moment we have already Health Monitor as monitoring tool in Plesk and I think that integration another monitoring tool is impractical. As possible solution you can use discussion on forum – http://forum.odin.com/threads/plesk-12-0-18-munin-2-x-on-ubuntu-14-04-libapache2-mod-fcgid-problem.325150/

Add secondary email address to contact data
If a mail user or subscription owner forget their mail account password, password recovery information will be mailed to the single stored email address.
How should the user retrieve that email ?????
Therefore an alternate (secondary) email address is a MUST HAVE!!1 voteIn the rare case when mail user or subscription owner forget their mail account password and they cannot recover it, they can always contact hoster to change the password. You can also put secondary e-mail in the Description field, in case you’ll need to e-mail them.
Given that this request isn’t popular, it looks like people have efficient ways to resolve it, so unfortunately we have to decline it.

Add more command line options to configure Plesk
It´s very handy that many aspects of Plesk can be configured by command line. This makes configuring a new server quite comfortable as it´s way better than to click through all options. As we get new servers every now and then, it´s a real time saver.
But to perfect this, the following things should also be configurable via command line. At least I couldn´t find a way to do so already.
Server Management > Tools & Settings >
- Panel Branding
- Notifications
- System Time
- Session Idle Time
- Virus Protection Settings > Used antivirusFor panel branding,…

Allow more customisation of Smartermail email accounts
When creating an email account in Plesk (and using Smartermail) you are limited in what details you can enter.
It would be really helpful if you could add/amend options such as Diaplay Name, reply-to email address, backup email address etc

Nginx uploadprogress module
For Drupal and maybe for other web applications as well, to use and see the progress of files uploaded normally we need the nginx-upload-progress-module for Nginx.
Many alternative repos for rhel for example are integrating this to support Drupal hosting (and really this is important for us Drupal users/developers).
This is from drupal.org:
https://drupal.org/project/filefield_nginx_progressThat's the module we are using on Nginx with that module.
Other way would be if you would support official/3rd party Nginx builds and control it from Plesk (like Apache, PHP, MySQL is).
