Renat Babin - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to deploy with an impressive networking feature
The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box. I would like an option to just use it as local storage or some kind of NSF or CIF. Or to mount the volume straight to a Google Drive or through a particular cloud storage. It's not that these things are impossible, but you have to do some extra work or configurations.

Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified
If a customer is focused on application modernization or CI/CD, there are some weaknesses. The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved. There are some issues with the integration of Kubernetes. I hope they can improve it and do much better than they do now. I would like to see the deployment of applications simplified.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it gives you the same environment as on a developer machine as well as a production machine relevant to specifications."
"The solution is easy to deploy for clients so it saves a lot of hassle."
"Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable."
"Kubernetes is the primary container orchestration tool I use with this solution. Docker provides a complete solution for deploying and managing workloads across multiple nodes. Container orchestration has significantly impacted my workload by automating tasks and streamlining operations. The availability of systems like Kubernetes is crucial for planning and managing complete clusters and computing environments. Every client's needs are different, and not one solution fits all."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its sandbox environment. It makes it very easy to run and test applications without needing configurations, which is the core advantage of containerization. Kubernetes and Helm are helpful as they provide high-level metrics, making tracking the status of all the containers and applications running easier."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the Dockerfile, which makes the life of developers easy. Developers get a real understanding of container creation."
"Docker is convenient and easy to use."
"Containerization is the most valuable feature. I can communicate to the Docker containers using other containers."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
 

Cons

"There can be challenges with port mapping, however, that's not related to Docker itself."
"Docker volumes. When I integrated volumes, I faced challenges. I have not essentially used add volumes to the existing instances."
"The vendor should release a monitoring tool or include monitoring capabilities in Docker"
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"There are elements of stability that are problematic. One of the most recent upgrades created a major incident on our cloud, whereby the containers were not restarting automatically."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is an open-source technology and not a commercial product. However, you will have to pay sometimes. The tool's pricing depends on the vendor."
"Docker is open source. To use a Docker enterprise model, we would need to pay for it."
"Its convenience edition is free of cost."
"The pricing of the solution is fairly cheap."
"I use the solution's open-source version."
"Docker is cost-effective and open-source."
"Docker's price is good."
"The product is not expensive."
