Review on Helios by Tom Beland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product at price point with plenty room for growth

The UI looks great! I like being able to easily visualize my applications without having to log into each individual node/container myself.

There are not many cons but it's been easy enough so far to figure out how everything works together once you get started using it. Haven't encountered any bugs yet that have caused me grief while working through them. We use this tool primarily within our DevOps team (our developers can build their own docker images from scratch or pull existing ones off helios) which has helped us keep track of all those builds we're doing throughout development cycles.

Pros
  • Easy access for both internal employees as well external clients
  • Can be accessed via either web interface, mobile app / iOS integration with Google maps
  • Ease at finding certain containers when searching in search bar.
  • Overall design aesthetically pleasing compared other similar tools available today
Cons
  • Difficulty setting up VPNs between different environments especially if there is no direct connection
