"We shaved a good two years off the adoption of containerization because we had Portainer."
Jason Plumhoff, Lead Developer and Software Architect
"Within a week of having Portainer, we’ve been able to take deployment workflows from 2 hours to fully deploy, to 5 minutes."
Jim Bruce, Director of Technology
"I am able to quickly look at what’s going on, get a holistic view of everything. Very quickly I look at the stack and services – instead of digging up docker commands, it’s all automated."
Joshua O'Brien, Systems Engineer
“It has taken time and some effort, but immediately the 20 users are already seeing major productivity gains."
Adefemi Ayaji, Application Platform Owner, Global
“Portainer allows us to manage all our Docker containers and Swarm orchestration. It has proven to be a robust, light and easy to use product."
Rodrigo Ramirez, Senior Director of Software
"With Portainer, deployment time has decreased significantly. It takes very little time for developers to publish the apps into our production environment using the GUI”.
Suat Urgurlu, Associate Director, Technology Solutions & IT Security
“Portainer has been our "go to" solution for deploying and managing software on our swapping stations.”
Azriel Samson, Director of Software Systems
“In the past, we had to go to Africa and install research tools on a server there and in most of the cases that never really worked because then something crashed and the people were gone. With Portainer, we just take a container and put it somewhere else.”
Christof Lorenz, Scientific Data Manager
“It’s actually quite easy. We never did it because we thought it would require a lot of Kubernetes knowledge, but it doesn’t.”
Remy Simons
"Per day, I spent an hour or two easily on deployments and now with Portainer and full use, that'll probably go down to at most 5-10 minutes."
Zoe Matre, DevOps Manager
Volkswagen partnered with Portainer to help securely manage their apps on their Shopfloor Integration Management (SIM) infrastructure.
"Portainer is responsible for dropping my workload between 15 and 20% because I’m not going out and touching individual servers.”
Elliot Francis, Principal Software Engineer

Frequently asked questions

What do you mean by Node?

A “node” can be described as a “server” (whether this is an actual physical server, a VM, a Raspberry Pi, your desktop or laptop, an industrial computer, or an embedded computing device) that is capable of running containers (via Docker, Kubernetes or another orchestrator) which is either running the Portainer Server or is under the management of a Portainer Server installation.

View “What’s a Node for licensing purposes?” for more information.

We also offer a range of pricing for Edge compute nodes: - Edge Server (<= 16 cores), Edge Gateway/ Industrial/PC (<= 10 cores), Edge Linux PLC/ Mini PC (<= 4 cores) or IoT Sensor nodes (<=1Ghz).

Do Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes require different licenses?

No. A single Portainer license supports container management across all orchestrators and environments.

What edition is right for me; Community Edition or Business Edition?

Portainer Community Edition is our free and open source version, most suited to individuals or small self-managing teams. It is community supported. CE is perfect for home lab use and learning how to manage containers.

Portainer Business Edition is our premium offering that includes features for Security, Access Management and Permission, and Auditing, making it more suitable for organizations.

For more information visit: Portainer Community Edition vs Portainer Business Edition, What's the Difference?

What level of support can I expect?
