Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

Portainer is helping me manage my new docker deploys. My Linux skills are not as strong as my Windows, and I am new to Docker so Portainer is helping me understand and troubleshoot where necessary to learn and use Docker. There are many aspects to Linux and Docker that I do not understand upfront, so Portainer acts as a overlay that more or less translates what I need to configure and where.

Pros

  • Simplifying
  • Comprehensive layout
  • Enable Docker features

Cons

  • Prevents from understanding Docker for in depth troubleshooting
  • Makes users reliant on Portainer for Docker administration
  • Issues with Portainer may make Docker unusable
  • Simplification
  • Central administration
  • Small business compatibility
  • Portainer has allowed for usage of Docker faster than without it
  • Time savings for learning Docker
  • ROI has already been achieved

Docker
Portainer is a great small Docker deployment tool, which is my only experience. As I understand Docker and its features, it is only also really good for applications that will have a lot of users or loads that will change dramatically and support for those loads need to be fluid.
