    While it always depends on your use case, I believe security concerns of need for root user is a concern, so it is worth considering daemonless container service over Docker, which works just as good and has support for docker compose. Another good reason is the licensing for enterprise usage, which podman has no restrictions for. It’s also a great choice for OpenShift integration, which is seamless and works well with Rancher as well.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Podman desktop is getting more stable with each version, but does need more UX friendliness as well.
    • Official support for development tools and IDEs is missing for most tools
    • It works well with Kubernetes, but I wouldn’t mind additional improvements

    • The tool itself has many capabilities but using them operationally within the platform on a day to day basis for managing vulnerabilities is not a good experience.
    • Our company was in desparate need of a tool to help us manage vulnerabilities so we could achieve a SOC 2 assurance report without findings.

    Podman is Daemonless, lightweight and doesn’t charge us for commercial usage, so it’s a relief for startups. Minikube and Rancher are a bit more complex for our use cases; so we keep things simple, fast and secure with Podman that can easily be managed with Podman Desktop and other works with our docker-compose based projects without issues.

    Unfortunately, neither cover all of the use cases that we would like so we need to use both but they are both excellent tools as part of our vulnerability management. We find that Snyk helps us better with improving our MTTR of identified vulnerabilities when compared to inspector but that may be more based on how we have implemented both tools

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • We definitely feel more secure.
    • We do not suffer from memory or cpu overuses as it uses fedora coreOS which is lightweight
    • We do not have to worry about license payments for our basic usages.
    • It’s open source so quick fixes imminent with maximum transparency.
