What our partners say


"We see an increasing number of customers who need to operate machine connectivity efficiently as a component of larger Industrial IoT solutions. Softing’s containerized connectivity products and Portainer make machine connectivity easy to use and easy to scale in production environments - an ideal combination for many organizations and users at the interface between IT and OT."

"Our OPC Router is a no-code software for connecting cloud, ERP systems, databases and devices that have been proven in the industry for almost 20 years. With Portainer's similar no-code approach, the use cases of the OPC Router are easily orchestrated and rolled out across the enterprise with just a few "clicks". Therefore, Docker container management by Portainer is a perfect match."

"Portainer has an excellent container management platform with Industry 4.0 specific features. Easy-to-use, the platform allows to securely deploy and manage MES on the customer's infrastructure without requiring extensive IT knowledge. Our partnership is an ideal opportunity to provide new and existing customers with a containerized MES across a variety of industries."

“The benefits of partnering with Portainer were evident to our team very quickly. LiveSwitch involves a number of complex systems that have to scale up and down dynamically, at extreme scale, with massive throughput and a tremendously low tolerance for any sort of latency. This complexity lends itself well to a powerful container management platform such as Portainer.”

Portainer gives us the flexibility to work with different software tools using the same UI and API. Especially the API provides us new opportunities as a software vendor and as a system integrator in the digital transformation market. Portainer is available from the edge to the cloud without any vendor lock-in. Thanks to the whole Portainer-Team to save us a lot of time and work!
