Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

I personally use it to take care of any docker container that I have. It simplify a lot of work when stopping or changing projects.
It might be used on a wider scale to help k3s environments to be used not only be devOps or engineer with enough knowledge, but also by project manager and other people with less knowledge on this part.
Might be tricky to understand how to set up for the first time, but their knowloedge database is stuffed enough to have the answer of our questions.
  • Graphical docker gestion
  • Environment datas globally managed
  • K3s management with a simplified window
  • K3s deployment with pre-defined environment
  • First complex set up is a bit hard without explanation
  • Large gap between the use of Portainer on local and once it's used by a group
  • Good for people without knowledge on Docker and K3s, but hard for them to set it up
  • Day to day help for container management and less time on it
  • Direct knowledge about the state of my containers

Do you think Portainer delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Portainer's feature set?

Yes

Did Portainer live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Portainer go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Portainer again?

Yes

One of the well suited moment is for the day to day use of Docker or K3s. To limit too much interaction and to limit the learning of complex command lines (even more for K3s with sub-modules), and to have a clear understanding through the use of the graphical interface.
