We performed a comparison between Kubernetes and Portainer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is the integration with other solutions, such as Formative and Grafana."
"You have different pods that interact with each other, so you can identify problems with one pod and replace it."
"The cluster is very stable with outward scalability and good performance."
"The implementation, and the way that they can, with a few clicks, load hundreds of machines without any trouble is very useful."
"Kubernetes provides scalable clustering for containers and other means of deployment."
"Kubernetes' most valuable features are scaling, deployment, and container management."
"The best thing about Kubernetes is that most of the containerized applications are centralized."
"The most valuable features of Kubernetes are the integration with Docker and there is plenty of documentation available. We work with Docker as a container, and it is more integrated with Docker than VMware Tanzu."
"Portainer comes with the ability to take the information of docker definition. Using it, I can visually observe how the container has been created. It allows me to create networks. I can also visually generate volumes and working stacks."
"The dashboard, monitoring, and login need improvements."
"Kubernetes could improve by having better integration with VMware solutions."
"The solution lacks some flexibility."
"Setup was not straightforward."
"Honestly, there is not much I like about Kubernetes. It's very complicated to deal with. I just do it because I have to."
"Lacks some scalability and more user-friendly operability."
"Having a thread dump and memory dump, and seeing how many objects were created would be useful."
"In the financial service sector, I'd rate scalability an eight out of ten. But do it in a controlled manner, not auto-scaling. If your application has a bug and you enable the autoscaler, it will spike your costs. If someone deploys an application with a bug, that's automatically a problem."
"Portainer needs to be more intuitive."
