Are you looking for Portainer alternatives?
You’re running Kubernetes to deploy and manage applications, but you’re still buried in YAML, Helm, and infrastructure work. A UI like Portainer helps with visibility, but does it really reduce complexity?
Many teams start with Portainer, thinking it will simplify Kubernetes management. Then they hit roadblocks:
- Helm charts, RBAC, and networking still need manual setup.
- Multi-cluster management requires switching between tools.
- CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning, and observability? Not included.
If you’re still handling the same complexity, just through a UI, it’s time to look at Portainer alternatives that go beyond a dashboard.
I’ve broken down five Portainer alternatives that do more than provide a UI. These tools help teams manage Kubernetes at scale, with automation, security, and built-in CI/CD.
