Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

I use portainer daily to manage multiple docker machines locally and hosted in cloud. Thanks to portainer we can deploy containers easily and much faster than normally, just opening a simple web interface instead of SSHing to the hosts each time we need to make a simple change to one of our running containers or deploy new ones.

Pros

  • Simplify management of multiple docker instances
  • Makes it easy to deploy new containers and stacks
  • Shows everything you need to know about your docker instances in an easily understandable dashboard

Cons

  • Could report deploying errors in a more detailed way
  • Could use stats regarding aggregated usage of host resources by all the containers
  • Makes docker easier to manage
  • Deployment of containers or stacks with portainer is simple and fast
  • Saves us time compared to the normal CLI deployment
  • Simplifies the management od changes and updates to containers
  • i can save a lot of time managing new deployments and updates, meaning I can do more in less time

Yes

Would you buy Portainer again?

Yes

For what I've seen portainer is mature enough to be used in production environments, other than just being used as a tool to make labs and development machines easier to deply and manage. Portainer makes docker so versatile that I'm also using it at home to virtualize applications, making better usage of the few resources I have which in turns makes the systems more energy efficient as well. All in all portainer is the perfect "GUI" for docker.
