Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

I am a Platform Engineer that previously worked in the b2b integrated ecommerce space, and now I work in the industrial base, for a plastics manufacturer. I use Portainer for the same thing at both organizations, which is mainly to manage automations around our internal and external services, including custom applications built for our customers in the past. I use standalone Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes instances (all for different purposes), and have really enjoyed working in the platform. Not only is it extremely intuitive, but if you need any help whatsoever with using Portainer, their team is only a phone call or an email away. They're always more than willing to help you with your projects to show your organization how Portainer is a huge benefit! It is for these reasons, I would recommend Portainer to anyone in DevOps, IT, Software Development, or Platform Engineering! It's a time saver, and a life saver!!

Pros

  • Customer Service
  • Documentation
  • Support
  • Intuitive User Interface
  • Good User Experience
  • Performance
  • Easy to Install & Configure

Cons

  • Automatic Updates
  • Better Support for Kuberenetes
  • The automations we're able to setup in Portainer has saved us time on deployments, which saves us money.
  • Developers no longer have to deploy their work, so they can focus on pure development tasks, saving us time and money.
Extremely easy to use UI, very intuitive, with a nice AI help bot feature.

Yes

Would you buy Portainer again?

Yes

I have several websites that I need to manage, varying from DNN and WordPress, all the way to fully custom B2B integrated ecommerce websites. And, as such, I need an easy way to automate updates, patching, and deployments. With Portainer, I am easily able to use their built in web hook features to use a code repository as the source of truth, easily deploying automatically based on being triggered by a push or merge in my code repo. I like that they easily integrate with many different repositories and CI tools.
