Advantages

* According to a comparative web-hosting control panels analysis of Cpanel, Ensim Pro, H-Sphere and Plesk, [ [http://bobcares.com/article24.html Web Hosting control panels compared.] bobcares.com] H-Sphere has been assigned the highest rating in terms of security and reliability.
* Scalable multiserver cluster: different physical and logical servers (web, mail, DNS etc.) are managed from one control panel. More servers can be added on the fly.
* Multilingual support includes English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), and several other languages integrated by means of add-ons.
* H-Sphere is recognized for end-user features availability, such as mail system, site building tools, SSL, etc. "Beginning webmasters may find H-Sphere too complicated for their needs. More advanced users, however, appreciate the features and control that H-Sphere offers the end user."

* H-Sphere may give place to other panels as regards its ease of use, but not its online documentation.
* H-Sphere has enlisted a community of online supporters who name it among their favorite control panels. [ [http://www.resellerboard.com/28-your-favourite-control-panel-2.html Your Favourite Control Panel?] Reseller Board.]

Disadvantages

* Licenses for H-Sphere accounts are more expensive than those of its competitors. Though, it is noted that H-Sphere licenses are reusable and sold for a cluster, not for a server, as with Ensim Pro.
* H-Sphere installation, upgrade and configuration procedure is complicated and requires high qualification of system administrators. H-Sphere apologists, however, state that once the system is configured, it works smoothly.
* Some customers state H-Sphere has too many advanced features and thus is a too complicated solution for small hosting companies, especially as a single server installation. On a single server mode H-Sphere consumes more server resources than other major single server control panels. While others note that H-Sphere advantages are more demonstrable on multi-server clusters. [ [http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=4503205 Post here, your favorite Control Panel.] WebHostingTalk Forums.]
* H-Sphere control panel interface extensively uses JavaScript. Some reviewers regard it as a disadvantage. [ [http://www.hostobzor.ru/panels/hsphere.php Hosting Obzor] ]
* H-Sphere control panel by default works on non-standard 8080 and 8443 ports that may be blocked by client-side firewalls; but this can easily be changed in the configuration.
* H-Sphere does not provide a comprehensive tool for its backup. [ [http://steadfast.net/forum/showthread.php?p=709 Control Panels.] Steadfast Community Forum.]
