	SUSE Rancher
Considered Both Products	SUSE Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher SUSE Rancher is an excellent choice for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, especially when catering to different teams with distinct access rights and requirements. It allows us to deploy these clusters on-premises across various sites or in the cloud. However, if you’re … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher We started using SUSE Rancher in the early days and spent a large amount of time getting to know and love it.

Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher I find SUSE Rancher easier to use and configure with the features I want to really use. I'm finding more people in the community to help in getting support for the product. The other competitors seem to lock you too much into their own ecosystems and keep many needed details … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher lens installs locally and needs access (network) to the kube_api of the clusters. With Rancher, you need access to the rancher front end (UI / 443), and your clusters Kube API does not need to be exposed (even over a VPN or whitelisted ips). For security reasons, the rancher … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher We were looking for an open-source solution for simply deploying and managing K8s on bare metal in both big and small environments. SUSE Rancher was the easiest to install. Rancher Kubernetes Engine (2) and K3s will give you just a plain simple Kubernetes environment. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SUSE Rancher SUSE Rancher has a great GUI, and seems to be a little bit mor open than the competitors. Incentivized Helpful?
