What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rancher makes it easy for us to manage all our EKS clusters from one place instead of dealing with them separately. We can also organize different projects within those clusters more efficiently. This saves us time and hassle. Plus, Rancher gives us a clear view of what's going on in our clusters and works well with other tools we use, making everything smoother and more flexible for our team.
Helpful in managing Kubernetes clusters
What do you like best about the product?
Rancher is a place where we can manage our Kubernetes clusters. It provides one platform where we can see all the clusters, nodes and their configurations and navigate through various namespaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. It is a useful platform that our team uses everyday.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anytime that one of our applications is down, we can directly go to the rancher and troubleshoot it. We can scale up or down manually without using commands and view configurations such as the node scheduling, scaling policy and the YAML of the manifest files.
A great product
What do you like best about the product?
Rancher is the best when it comes to automatic scaling and an interactive GUI to get started with your Kubernetes clusters. It helps to get started with Kubernetes even if you don't have a large IT department.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike as it is getting better but I hope in future that the Rancher created Kubernetes clusters have the ability to get detached from the Rancher Kubernetes management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now have a better deployment with my Kubernetes. The visibility alongside productivity of our department increased greatly after using Rancher.
Kubernetes Cluster Management
What do you like best about the product?
Cluster Management at your fingertips. Deploy to the cloud or bare metal, import your clusters as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
To date in my use case, I've not come across any major issues. Currently running version 2.7.6.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single management interface to my clusters.
Rancher - Manage Multiple Kubernetes Clusters with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple set up channels (bare metal, in a k8s cluster, or even as a standalone Docker container)
Can provision new clusters in most cloud providers, or bare metal (with k3s and RKE), or even just manage already provisioned clusters
Comes integrated with monitoring tools to help better visualise clusters
Easily deploy helm charts
Integrates very nicely with a git-ops tool - Fleet (https://fleet.rancher.io/ - another rancher project)
Lowers the barrier to entry for new users adopting Kubernetes and having to manage clusters
Full fledge unrestricted software features and use. Support can be purchased additionally
Thriving community, documentation, videos, master-classes available to all. Paid administration courses are available also.
Continuous releases and improvements. Stable releases are prod ready and work very well and well documented.
Excellent backup and restore ability.

What do you dislike about the product?
The SSO is limited, could do with generic / more providers like Auth0
At times, updates on the webpage go stale and require a hard refresh
If set up in HA mode in a K8s cluster, restart times can be a little slow (room to improve)
Higher cost of managing infrastructure if managing only a single cluster

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to set up and use, with the docker setup. It's free and full-featured. Test it out, works as advertised with constant feature improvements.
Great tool for large infrastructure and multi-cluster setup
What do you like best about the product?
It's a perfect tool for multi-cluster deployment management and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is lacking for integration cases, would love to see more of it published
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
K8s cluster deployment, management and monitoring . We use it for 3 separate data centers; our DevOps team reduced the amount of manual work they do by half in just a few months.
Good kubernetes management system
What do you like best about the product?
Provides a good UI wrapper around Kubernetes and makes easy to use. Has a good layer of access management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs access to the internet. Cost it a little high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was complicated to run Kubernetes by itself. With the wrapper is visually appealing and makes it easier to maintain.
Solid k8s tool

It's super easy to deploy k8s cluster with Rancher; you don't need to be a hardcore devops guy to do it. Visibility is key; junior staff can manage it.

Nothing really, it's getting better with every release.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Fleet: Why do we need another GitOps solution instead of using existing ones like ArgoCD & co.?
- I miss that Rancher does not provide a self-maintaining master/worker OS like CoreOS, Flatcar Container Linux & co.
