Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were using the community version of Portainer but were missing the ability to delegate rights based on our AD. It's why I decided to order the business edition, it handles this perfectly. We use Portainer to manager docker standalone containers, K3S infrastructure in a same place and in a visual way.

Pros and Cons

RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) with AD
Kubernetes integration
Direct YAM Editing
Logging

monitoring stack

Return on Investment

make it easier to handle several containers
delimit the perimeters of each team
deploy faster

Likelihood to Recommend

We choosed Portainer to have a global vision of our standalone containers in a central place and after that we also added Kubernetes clusters. We think it could be a good first step before using more complex product like rancher...
Moreover the Portainer technical teams are very professional and available. We had an integration session included with our business edition licences and they didn't hesitate to offer us other complementary sessions, at no extra cost.

Very good tool to handle easily containers and kubernetes clusters in a visual way
