Overall Satisfaction with SUSE Rancher

We work with multiple clients and by the time we have multiple cluster hosted on multiple cloud platforms. It's very difficult to manage all those cluster manually or through cli tools. With Rancher we can easily create, upgrade and delete clusters in almost all the major cloud platform. One of the major issue was managing users and monitoring the cluster, Rancher helps us in that as well.
