'das Plus' and 'der Pluspunkt' can both mean an advantage or a positive aspect. In this meaning, they are very close to each other. 'der Pluspunkt' almost always means exactly one advantage that speaks in favor of someone or something. 'das Plus' is somewhat broader and can also have other meanings, for example a profit, a sign, or a temperature above zero. For this reason, learners may confuse the words. When you are talking about a positive point in an evaluation, 'Pluspunkt' fits very well. 'Plus' is a bit more general and shorter.
