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
What do you like best about the product?
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.
Virtual Infrastructure Practice advisor
What do you like best about the product?
ability to check cluster health in a few seconds. the userl interface is very rich and access to all cluster component very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack a backup tool for downstream clusters. Would appreciate more complete documention on Terraform Provider and also on RKE2 cluster template.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multi-tenant capability, Monitoring, Vsphere integration.
Rancher review
What do you like best about the product?
user-friendly interface, robust management capabilities for Kubernetes clusters, seamless integration with various cloud providers, and extensive support for container orchestration. Rancher’s ability to simplify the deployment and management of Kubernetes has been praised, making it easier for users to adopt containerized applications in their infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
occasional complexities in setting up and configuring more complex deployments, resource usage in large-scale environments, or compatibility problems with specific infrastructure configurations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rancher includes robust security features such as role-based access control (RBAC) and integrates with various authentication providers. This enhances the security of Kubernetes clusters and ensures proper access management.
A relatively simple installation and powerful interface.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best features is the ease of installlation, eg. with helm charts.
Additionally the ability to spin up other environments without needing to acquire support for them to test things.
Additionally the ability to spin up other environments without needing to acquire support for them to test things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to move clusters between Rancher management instances. Sometimes the permissions can be a bit awkward or confusing (though I think this may just be true of Kubernetes in general and not specifically Rancher). The licensing can be a bit confusing re: what counts towards a node limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working on standardizing and improving the repeatability of our Application Team's build and deploy processes, and migrating off of legacy shared environments.
more than 4 years of experience
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
very slow UI
support is not at the level of a big company like suse

Great staff and team; Focus on supporting automation customers needs improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The people and willingness to work with the customer.
Ability to have many options with "downstream" clusters regardless of cloud. I cannot speak in comparison against other companies, as I have not used them in the same space.

What do you dislike about the product?
While automation works with Rancher, the support for it seems lacking. Both in paid support and in documentation. Getting help for automation always seems "extra".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a hybrid datacenter and cloud deployment, it allows us to focus on one type of standard of Kubeneretes and provide a similar experience to our kubernetes users regardless of where they are hosted.
Good Multi Cluster Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
* Extremely simple and efficient UI that helps with almost all Kubernetes cluster operations
* All different kubernetes distributions are supported and can be managed from a single pane of glass
* Rancher market place that comes with first class support for some key tools like Istio
* Continuous Delivery module that comes along in the package makes it a true value add feature

What do you dislike about the product?
* Advanced use cases in Public Cloud platforms(AKS, AWS etc) are not fully suported eventhough it is getting evolved based on customer feature requests
* Multi-tenancy in Fleet still need to get matured
* More common tool stacks should be in the list of first class support offerred by Rancher in Rancher Market place

Rancher
What do you like best about the product?
It's an extensive management platform catered around managing/creating Kubernetes instances in many ways it makes life easy on what you need to do and how it possible using SUSE Rancher. Where you can add additional features to help with your day-to-day task like installing software with Helm.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it's not a downside but also not an upside depending on who views it in such a way, but it's rapidly changing at this point in time which makes it a challenge to keep up with how things change and what changes where at the start of the year we were on 2.5 then 2.6 and now 2.7 which large and small changes in-between.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an easy to use platform to manage and create to your heart's content with everything you need centralized in one place and if it's not there by default be reassured you can probably add it with ease.
