Verified User in Outsourcing/Offshoring
In my opinion, the best thing about Portainer is the ease of use. We are a pretty small team, so for everyone to be able to jump in and setup or monitor containers with a just a quick introduction, has made our work much easier and efficent.

What I like most is the support having to deploy applications in different programming languages. Besides having different database handlers and additional tools like cron

Verified User in Computer Software
The user interface could more more user friendly. Sometimes deploying servers could be quite slow and bugs appear in the control panel where webpages were not properly redirected to. However, reporting it to the support team seemed to have fixed this issue .
