Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."
"I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Docker creates lightweight applications that are easy to manage and scale."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it revolutionized virtualization by providing a new approach with containers that completely nullified the time it used to take to deploy applications on virtual servers, resulting in deployment times that can be as quick as milliseconds, unless it is a heavy application, such as Java. Additionally, resource utilization has greatly improved with Docker, allowing for more resources to be allocated to other tasks. These are a few key features that make Docker a preferred choice."
"Portainer comes with the ability to take the information of docker definition. Using it, I can visually observe how the container has been created. It allows me to create networks. I can also visually generate volumes and working stacks."
"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"The solution’s documentation could improve a bit."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"I have encountered network issues while connecting with microservices. I want to optimize the application layers over the bucket. It should also have better documentation."
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use."
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"Portainer needs to be more intuitive."
