Review on Portainer by Kirk Womack

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Convenient and useful tool once implemented

The visual representation of running containers in your environment makes it easy to see all you have installed/running - also helps track down issues when they occur! It's not free but we're using it commercially so our pricing structure works out well for us now.

When I had an issue with one image (it was hanging) there were no logs or anything that would help me determine what happened. This can be frustrating at times as its hard to diagnose problems if something isn't logged by default somewhere. Tracking applications across environments has become much easier since it shows where an application resides which allows quick troubleshooting without having to look through multiple log files etc.

Pros
  • Easy way keep tabs
  • Great support team
  • Flexibility around how images are stored / accessed e.g, via NFS shares instead
Cons
  • Almost never
