Portainer makes managing containers so much easier. You can just throw the image url in an it will spin up a container very quickly. There is also an API edge server so I can integrate my frontend app to quickly make a service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there is a major issue while using Portainer but there should be a section where I can create a volume with the container without using stack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Portainer's UI gives a simple-to-read overview of the health of my unversity containers. These containers manage important tools that are indispensible to some students. Portainer makes checking up on these programs easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Portainer's update notifications get in the way of key UI elements sometimes, but it is not a major concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to implement, easy to add and manage containers, and makes updating them quick as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Updating Portainer itself, keeping track of the network segmentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker is oftentimes complicated, requiring a series of terminal commands to perform otherwise simple actions. Portainer provides a user interface that is both beautiful and functional. Our company services such as our DNS server and website can now be easily monitored via Portainer's interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some aspects of Portainer seem to have some lack of thought to them. An example is the update prompt, which reminds the user to update. While not a bad idea, the prompt is loaded in half a second after the rest of the page, shifting the entire page down. The result is the click, to select a specific server in the dashboard, selecting a different instance. This is a very minor annoyance that could easily be solved by moving the reminder away from the top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use portainer to manage all our containers and to automate the deployment of new builds.
In fact, what we love about Portainer is the GitOps updates feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only feature that I think Portainer is missing is global git credentials. At the moment git credentials are associated only with a single user and that is very limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of access and presentation of features. I also particularly appreciate the compose feature, especially when combined with GitHub access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Docker Desktop extension does not appear to support a license, and thus it doesn't appear to be able to save my GitHub credentials. However, this is a new way of using Portainer for me, as I generally use it running as a container from a docker compose file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how Portainer makes docker service's management so much easier.
My prefered feature is the hability to easily implement stacks using git integration, as it gets really streamlined with other software development flows we currently use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think Portainer misses an easy backup and restore feature - either options to export and import a full config file on the control panel, or options to automate a remote backup embeded on the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As said, the ease of use (without the need of console) in a webinterface, whith the ability of multiple users and over a secure connection is a great win, especially in my very small docker environment. Also the recent check of running contrainers for current image versions is a nice benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Missing a progress of docker-compose while starting up stacks (downloading image x%, starting...). Even the bare docker-compose output would be sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a simple-to-use container management system that you can use from the web. It runs in Docker and allows me to manage all of my systems (I'm currently managing two Docker standalone instances, and a Kubernetes cluster).
Having a simple and well-documented web-ui makes managing these systems so much easier, as I don't have to do everything from the cli (command line interface). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although it isn't specifically designed to do so, according to their own documentation, Portainer can work with podman (a docker alternative). I have tried this on several occations, and have had barely-usable results. The glitches and issues when using podman make it impractical to use Portainer over the normal cli.
If Podman implemented native podman support, it would cover all my needs for container management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
