Cristian Klein Cloud Native Architect Chose Helm When deploying Kubernetes Manifests, one has a few choice: Vanilla Kubernetes (e.g., kubectl apply), but this requires to do all templating by hand and does not deal with removing Kubernetes objects.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Deployment of helm charts is really fundamental to any software packages to our Kubernetes/docker containers, and without Helm, I cannot imagine how else to manage software components upgrades. When it works, it works great, when it doesn't - the world has not come to an end, there is rollback, and it's great, but troubleshooting does take time. And there is a learning curve. But it be worth it. Incentivized VT Victor Tay Engineer Read full review	If you're working on some .NET Framework / .NET Core projects, there's no other real choice here. NuGet works well, the heavy reliance on built-in GUI makes it friendly & easy-to-learn for new people, especially those who haven't been used to dependency management topics. But for those coming from the Java world, who are already spoiled by text-based Maven / Ivy, then NuGet could be a chore to work on a daily basis.

Cons	It would be great if there is verbose mode in Helm errors. Not sure if it's a thing. But more detail in the errors do helps, at times.
