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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, can't think of any, we the features available and the ease of impementation, can't imagine using some other tool after using Portainer for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Portainer makes container management incredibly simple with its intuitive interface. It allows seamless deployment and monitoring of containers, even for those without deep expertise in Docker or Kubernetes. The multi-cluster support and ease of use are great for managing complex environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Portainer's free version lacks some advanced features, such as RBAC (role-based access control), which can be limiting for larger teams. Additionally, its performance may suffer when managing a large number of containers across multiple clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of Use: Portainer offers a straightforward interface that is easy to navigate, even for those new to Docker.
Quick Setup: The installation process is simple, allowing users to start managing Docker containers within minutes.
Effective Stack Management: Portainer's stack feature simplifies the deployment and management of multi-container applications.
Robust User Management: The ability to create different user roles provides granular control over access to Docker resources.
Strong Security Features: Portainer's built-in security measures help protect Docker environments from unauthorized access.
Great for Home Use: Portainer's simplicity and ease of use make it a perfect fit for home lab environments. It's a great tool for managing personal Docker projects and experimenting with containerized applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Manual Docker Compose Import: While Portainer offers excellent stack management, importing existing Docker Compose files can be time-consuming due to the manual process.
Single-Point of Failure: The centralized web interface can be a single point of failure, limiting redundancy and availability. Although, this can technically be alleviated by using docker swarm/kubernets but cumbersome to setup
Limited Image Update Automation: Portainer currently lacks built-in features for automatically updating Docker images, requiring external tools or manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have too much to say or complain about this app maybe the way to admin cloud resources from local. Maybe it is already implemented and I missed this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So in our company we have started to use Portainer just because we didn't have much experience in AWS or Kubernetes and we only knew docker. We value great number of features and ability to easily use the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. The only downside that I think has improved with the latest updates is that Exec Console was a bit buggy but that seems to be fixed for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
