Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

Managing docker containers and deployments can't be any easier than this. Docker-compose and other cli tools can be ok but there are definitely many occasions where you would like to better visualize and more efficiently manage your stacks, volumes, containers, images, etc. Doing all that in any browser, on your phone as well as having web hooks are definitely a plus.

Pros

  • Manage docker stacks
  • Visualize deployments
  • Community support
  • Efficient and lightweight

Cons

  • Too abstracted for advanced use cases
  • Scalability concerns for very large use cases
  • Reduce overhead
  • Improved efficiency
  • Simplified container management
Good access control support through role-based access control, allows managing user permissions and secure team collaboration for small to medium sized teas. Only used with Docker and while it can support more, it probably may not be the best choice for very large Kubernetes clusters. As a plus, being platform-agnostic, allows for managing containers across different environments.
Had already more experience using Portainer and it was covering all immediate needs where scalability was not a concern. Definitely easier to use and to get started for anyone.

It's great for small to medium deployments. Has a fairly low learning curve. Use it for simplifying and streamlining management of docker containers. Offers a very friendly user interface that allows you to efficiently perform most common containers operations through a centralized view that can manage multiple environments. Fairly simple to monitor resources usage and perform troubleshooting. May not be suitable for very complex use cases
