Overall Satisfaction with Portainer
Our development environment is fully containerized and we used Docker Desktop earlier and the functionality and the price I wasn’t happy, tried rancher it was too complicated and not seemed user friendly, and tried Dockage that was too simple and couldn’t do everything, but the Portainer is simply perfect, able to connect multiple environments, able to update images simply, I got free 3 nodes so I’m using one for my homelab and there was a dedicated widget to connect my Portainer, setup is also very simple, hope the Portainer team doesn’t change the perfect ui and make it too complicated for intermediate users.
- Connect multiple environments
- Free key upto 3 nodes
- Simple ui for everyone to understand
- IMAP or POP3 Notifications when any containers stopped or something goes wrong
- I couldn’t find podman related things better if they add or make it easy to access
- I’m just a developer and didn’t went upto business level but for my productivity this Portainer really helped that’s the reason I’m doing this review actually
I wrote that earlier, I tried Docker desktop so many bugs with WSL and not free and it get sign out every login time, Tried SUSE Rancher too complicated and good only for power users and whoever runs Kubernetes and very heavy. tried Dokage very simple and couldn’t do everything. Portainer is just perfect enough functionality and get the work done efficiently.
