Orchestrate everywhere
What do you like best about the product?
We introduced Rancher to build and manage our on-premise Kubernetes environments as well as to extend them into the cloud, i.e. AWS EKS currently, Azure AKS will follow soon.
Rancher helped us a lot to hide the complexity of a Kubernetes setup and to maintain a good overview over our container landscape.
Additionally, a lot of tools can be integrated like Helm, Grafana or even AIOPs with OPNI

What do you dislike about the product?
When extending Rancher to the cloud, we would have whished for a little more "turn-key" abilites, it is still necessary to do manual settings there to get the initial connection running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rancher helps us to provision Kubernetes cluster and deploy container based solution in a standardized way.
Flexible Solution for Customers who have "special" needs in Regards of K8s
What do you like best about the product?
the flexibilitry to deploy K8s on-prem, in the cloud and at edge scenarios
What do you dislike about the product?
most release contain bugs which affect almost every customer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing k8s everywhere, no need for different tools
Rancher - and finally the power is with us ... and it keeps growing
What do you like best about the product?
It is impossible to remain indifferent towards Rancher. Either one loves and accepts him in his entirety, or hates him precisely for what it is .... and it is open, good, versatile, with huge possibilities and potential to use :) Its main advantages in my opinion are openness, massive community support, freedom to change and adapt to the required needs. In addition, its well-thought-out design and well-directed development fits the needs of the market and the changing IT environment. Currently also available, the Prime and Suite versions are a comprehensive offer for companies, including a complete environment for creating containerization and virtualization platforms anywhere with many add-ons such as security, storage, observability and application collection (SLSA) and many more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The environment is constantly evolving and providing new functionalities, so any potential problems and shortcomings are a natural consequence of this development, especially since it is a platform for managing entire ecosystems across all infrastructure variants. In the current phase of its development, it is achieving ever-increasing stability and maturity, offering more and more interesting flavors, especially in enterprise offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, it is a great platform for managing multi-cluster k8s environments :)
The benefits are obvious: a single point of view, the ability to observe and manage the entire infrastructure, including container platforms in any location.

On balance a positive experience with some frustrations
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way that Rancher interacts directly with VMware vSphere - providing a simple interface through which you can configure one or more machine pools - making getting up and running with an on-premises Kubernetes environment straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that the documentation lets Rancher down, the document isn't as rich as that provided by similarly sized technology companies. We often have to refer to support requests and forum articles for guidance on specific issues. Ultimately, when it works its great - but there have been a couple of occasions where Rancher has failed (either fully or partially and it has proved very difficult or in some cases impossible to resolve).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily deploy our applications on EKS within AWS. However, we have a customer request for an on-premise installation in a prexisting vSphere datacenter. Rancher's ability to interact with VMware vSphere and handle the configuration and on-going management of a Kubernetes cluster proved invaluable.
I've been manager of an Orange team using Rancher for 7 years

Rancher is multi-cluster and multi-cloud, which reinforces our independence.
Rancher facilitates perimeter management via RBAC functionalities (fine-tuned, secure management of user rights).
Rancher provides a graphical interface that simplifies the use of Kubernetes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Rancher's lifecycle management is inadequate : for example, there's no automatic tool for migrating our clusters from RKE1 to RKE2.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use Rancher to offer Orange an internal Kubernetes as a service solution, thus simplifying Kubernetes adoption and accelerating Orange service releases
Modern Container Management with Rancher

Rancher provides an easy-to-use interface that simplifies the setup, deployment, and management of Kubernetes clusters. It abstracts away much of the complexity of working directly with Kubernetes, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not a simplified multi tenancy functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rancher helped us to improve our kubernetes environments in usability and functionality
Review of Rancher
What do you like best about the product?
I like the UI and the number of helpful config options that are baked in
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't seem to scale as well for environments with a large amount of clusters
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to provision and maintain a large number of clusters from a single pane. It also makes assigning ownership/roles fairly straightforward
using rancher to run our kubernetes platform
What do you like best about the product?
Rancher helped us to set up our kubernetes platform without any relevant knowledge. this gave us the opportunity to rely on kubernetes despite time pressure and we were able to build up our knowledge gradually.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rancher could help you even more to detect errors related to the kubernetes version to avoid incompatibilities even more.
the rancher interface could be more performant.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with rancher, we can make the kubernetes world accessible to our colleagues without them needing to know much. Maintaining and servicing Kubernetes clusters is very easy with Rancher
An exciting journey

There is no commitment to the manufacturer and therefore we are not bound for future strategy changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Constant changes to the subscription costs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We administer a Kubernetes cluster with different container solutions. The orchestration of the individual containers in the cluster runs smoothly. Efficiency has been increased.
