Overall Satisfaction with SUSE Rancher

We use SUSE Rancher to run Kubernetes production workloads.
We chose Rancher because:
+) It's easy to manage users and their permissions.
+) It's the most complete Kubernetes GUI on the market.
+) Developers don't need to know kubectl cli and Kubernetes YAML syntax to start deploying workblows.
+) It's very easy to upgrade Kubernetes versions with just a few mouse clicks.
  • User permissions
  • Kubernetes version upgrades
  • The most complete Kubernetes GUI on the market
  • No possibility to snapshot Projects. You can snapshot and restore the whole Kubernetes cluster, but not a Project or Namespace. For this, you have to use external tools.
  • You cannot detach the Rancher-created Kubernetes clusters from Rancher management.
  • Easy workflow deployment from Rancher GUI.
  • Easy user permission management.
  • You can connect Rancher to Active Directory for user management.
  • We can deploy faster.
  • We don't need to create separate virtual servers for each small project.
  • We patch server OSes without worrying that patches will break deployments.
SUSE Rancher has the most complete Kubernetes GUI.

Yes

SUSE Rancher is well suited if you want a stable system to start fast Kubernetes adoption. You can learn a long time, you don't need to be a Kubernetes expert in the beginning. I would like to be able to backup Rancher namespaces and projects. Now it's possible to backup only whole clusters.
