    User-Friendly Interface, but Setup Could Be Smoother

    Reviewed on Jan 12, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    We used Rancher as part of a small POC to see how our microservices would behave in a Kubernetes setup. What stood out right away was how easy it was to move around the interface. Even for someone who isn’t deep into Kubernetes every day, it was straightforward to check what’s running, look at logs, and understand what’s healthy or not.

    During the POC, we deployed a few basic services, including our Managed Microservices module and some integration‑related components. Rancher made it simple to see everything in one place instead of jumping between different tools or terminals.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Some parts of the setup took a bit of figuring out, especially when we tried running Rancher on a local machine just to test things out. A couple of settings, like the built‑in cluster name, are locked down, so you can’t rename them the way you might want for a clean demo. It wasn’t a big issue, but it did slow us down at the start while we worked around it.

    It should be a clean slate rather than fixing things up. When setting up initially or POC, I expected it to be guiding us rather than working on the stuff that's fixed.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    During our initial testing for some of ours microservices, Rancher made it much easier to understand how our microservices would behave once they were running inside Kubernetes. Instead of jumping between different commands or tools, everything we needed was right in front of us — from pod status to logs and basic resource details. Having that visual view helped us test things faster and gave us a better sense of what day‑to‑day operations would look like if we moved these services into a real Kubernetes environment.

    Has supported ongoing hybrid deployments and integration but requires clearer feature documentation

    Reviewed on Oct 24, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    I understand your point regarding my current use case for SUSE Linux Enterprise . I want to know if the purchase process is mostly directly from SUSE or through the AWS Marketplace , and what ways I am working with the vendor.

    What is most valuable?

    The high availability features in SUSE Linux Enterprise  are helping in my projects. I am satisfied with SUSE Linux Enterprise security and compliance features. The documentation part needs to be better to highlight these features.

    What needs improvement?

    SUSE can make improvements to SUSE Linux Enterprise. I have suggestions about what they can add to the product to simplify users' lives. They need to intensely work on their marketing strategy.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have 10 years of experience with SUSE Linux Enterprise, which has been brilliant.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate stability for SUSE Linux Enterprise an eight out of ten.

    How are customer service and support?

    I would rate technical support from SUSE Linux Enterprise vendor support an eight out of ten.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup for SUSE Linux Enterprise could be simpler.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I would rate pricing for SUSE Linux Enterprise considering one is a high price and ten is a low price.

    What other advice do I have?

    I use built-in container support in SUSE Linux Enterprise.

    I am working with a hybrid deployment model for SUSE Linux Enterprise.

    SUSE Linux Enterprise is deployed on AWS  cloud.

    I rate SUSE Linux Enterprise eight out of ten overall.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Hospital & Health Care

    Great for managing onprem + cloud Kubernetes clusters

    Reviewed on Oct 07, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    SUSE Rancher is widely-used and it supports all major cloud providers and on-premise Kubernetes clusters. It gives one management plane for all clusters, a common place to authenticate, do API calls (via Terraform, curl or Rancher CLI) and have role-based access via SAML, Active Directory and others. Regularly updated to the newest Kubernetes versions. Knowledgable support organization. Easy to implement, does not require consultants, can just read their online docs.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The support is good, but how support subscription costs are calculated has changed a couple times in the last couple years. It was node-based, but is now CPU-based.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Managing multiple clusters in onprem and cloud providers, role based access

    Worst Support for SUSE RANCHER

    Reviewed on Oct 07, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The SUSE rancher platform is good and robust.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Support from SUSE for RANCHER is the worst. Even Production outage cases are not taken seriously and has to send multile reminders and escaltion.

    Funny thing is SUSE does not even validate their support numbers are working or not. Example: India contact numbers are not reachable.

    India: +91 000800 919 0610

    SUSE rancher v2 doe snot support rotating aws authentication keys and the workaround provided is very complicated. whereas other comeptetors have proper working and easy solutions.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We converted our Onprem servers into kubernetes cluster using SUSE Rancher. Therby allowing to utilise it effectively.

    Efficiency and options without giving up interoperability

    Reviewed on Oct 07, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Open approach to be able to integrate other solutions, adoption does not imply giving up integrating other tools
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There are two levels of support; for development environments or horizontal scaling, it might make more sense to go with the community version.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Rancher allows us to securely manage different development teams, with a Role-based approach that simplifies the platform developer's experience.
