SUSE Rancher Likes & Dislikes
What i appreciate most around Rancher is the strength of the centralized management plane. It provides a clear, unified view across all the clusters in that environment, making it straightforward to monitor health, workloads and configuration consistency at scale. It also provides an excellent upgrade experience - cluster and component upgrades are smooth and reliable, which has reduced our operational maintenance overheads massively. Another big bonus for us is the ability to segregate into projects, allowing us to improve the security posture of the users RBAC with clarity across the multiple teams.
The ability to manage all k8s clusters from one portal. the simplicity of its UI.
Customization and ease of use.
The initial prime learning curve can be quite steep, especially with the initial cluster configurations. There is open-source training available, but what is available is mostly behind a paywall. Even though there is quite an active community, things other than the available documentation for initial setup is fairly lacking, meaning some of the more complex setups do require quite a bit of time researching and experimenting. The product is also now moving to CPU costing model, during the time of our evaluations and onboarding, this was on a more node base cost model, which will have impact to our costings.
The integration of Fleet, which is a very bad product. The frontend doesn't work well with the backend. A lot of critical bugs
It used to be independent but is now part of a larger organization.

Clear Documentation Eases Customization Challenges in SUSE Rancher Cluster Setup
SUSE Rancher is a great container management platform that excels in ease of deployment, management, and upgrades. Setting up Rancher is straightforward, thanks to clear documentation and intuitive interfaces that simplify cluster provisioning and configuration. It has so many ways to customize it that it could feel overwheling if it weren’t for the clear and straightforward documentation. Management is hassle-free, offering centralized control, seamless monitoring, and automated workflows that save time and reduce errors. Upgrading clusters and the platform itself has so far been smooth, supported by reliable tools that minimize downtime and risk. - IT Associate50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source

Their technical support is what sets them apart. - IT Associate1B-10B USDManufacturingReview Source
Accelerating enterprise innovation with Rancher.
Strong, reliable and scalable platform. We adopted Rancher Prime as its central container orchestration platform to support the growing demand for modern, scalable, and modular digital solutions across the organization. We were facing some challenges about lack of standardization across the environments, manual and time consuming infrasctructure provisioning and inefficient container management. - IT Manager50M-1B USDMediaReview Source
