Plesk is too brain-damaged to be worth comparing to. But let us just pick on some of the egregious issues with Plesk that borders on breach of ethics on the part of the software.
a) Plesk is licensed on number of domains, and yet, plesk cannot do full subdomains. If you need mail management, you have to add the domains as full domains, which will be counted towards your license.
b) ABSOLUTELY no way to do multi-domain management. Lxadmin used to have the same issue, but hey, we are great developers, and we trivially redesigned to make multi-domains possible. In plesk each domain is 100% separate, which would have been great idea in 1996, but in 2007, with domains being so cheap, it would be impossible to assume that a client who has one domain will not get another.
c) Absolutely no way to manage mail for parked domains.
d) It seems plesk still doesn't have domainkeys.
e) Horrible redundancy with domain template and client template. Actually, you need to jump through hoops in plesk to just add a domain. I think the total productivity loss caused by needing to go through all the pages to do some trivial task in plesk itself should be a major concern for everyone involved.
Of course, like cpanel, plesk is single server system that only supports apache/bind. And their windows port is a completely separate codebase.
As I said, the above are only the most visible and egregious issues. I am sure there are quite large number of areas where we are much ahead of plesk.
