Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

I use Portainer to manage my organization's Docker and Kubernetes containers. It works with standalone Docker, Docker Swarms, and K8s clusters. It's fantastic that you can attach multiple hubs, manage networks, and all other settings, without memorizing the command line commands and arguments.
  • GUI for Settings
  • Container Management
  • Centralized Orchestration
  • UI could improve
  • Adding add-ons or extensions would be nice
  • Auto-discovery of nodes.
  • Supporting Docker
  • Supporting Kubernetes
  • Including all settings in GUI.
  • Allowed for Scalability
  • Provided Easy Access to Settings
  • Allowed Reliable Management
The GUI and easy of use were incomparable.
