Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Portainer as our mean Docker controll system. We have all our docker containers on Portainer managed. In the most cases we use stacks with docker compose and our yml files are saved on our github account in our organisation. With this we can change things in the yml files on github and pull the changes in Portainer.

Usability

Portainer is very easy to install. It is very easy to use. You very quickly get to the point where everything is set up the way you want it. It has all the features you need for both simple and very complex solutions. And as mentioned, you now have a gui for something that was previously only possible in the command line.

Alternatives Considered

Aderant Docket Alerts, DockMaster and DonorDock

Portainer is open source and can be installed as a docker container. Portainer can also be used free of charge as a business edition for a limited number of installations. All you have to do is register with Portainer and receive a license key. Portainer is very easy to install and very simple to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use Portainer for every use case and I honestly have no idea in which area it is not worthwhile. We are very happy with the product as we much prefer to work in a gui rather than on the command line. I don't have much more to say about this.
