Docker Reviews

Our primary use case for this product is for packaging our solutions. In addition, we use it for packaging our web apps and deploying them on public cloud, primarily on Azure.

The simplicity is valuable.

Deployment could be quicker and customer service and support can be improved.

We have been using the solution for approximately five years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is not very scalable on its own, but when used in conjunction with Kubernetes, it is seamless because it integrates very well. Kubernetes was made for Docker, so, understandably, they work well together.

I cannot comment on pricing specifics, but we currently use the open-source version of the solution, so it is primarily free. We pay just for bits that are in their new pricing.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I advise users considering the solution to learn how to use it as soon as possible so they can easily conduct deployments.

Our primary use case is to build images for all of our microservices and UI applications. We are building an enterprise-grade application where there are a lot of integrations. We have around forty to fifty different microservices which we are deploying using Docker and all of the orchestration through Kubernetes.

Docker is easy to understand and follow. It provides good scalability to the application.

I would like to see a single package image orchestration bundled together. Although Docker has ways to implement, it is not as flexible as Kubernetes.

I have been using Docker for the past six months.

Docker is currently stable.

There is definitely scalability with Docker. We have more than two thousand working on products.

It is both open source for public projects and a licensed solution.
When you are talking in terms of a dedicated technical support team you may need to purchase a support license.

Docker is the most widely accepted image-building tool. It has a large support base and community. 

I would recommend having good POC's because there are certain niche cases that you might not consider while just doing a POC. There are a lot of activities, that need to be considered, and how this application is going to be consumed by other applications. I would rate Docker a nine on a scale of one to ten.

We primarily use the solution to create the node for the containers to deploy multiple apps. We have iOS applications in the containers, and we can build multiple microservices in the containers. It provides access to the content for public IPs. We can host it, for example, on AWS can contain some instances in Azure or AWS.

In my project, it is easy to just build all the microservices locally in my local system through Docker. I can use it to test and deploy all the microservices in containers, including the front-end applications as well. Everything communicates from container to container. It's very easy. I can have multiple Docker files and deploy them easily into the cluster.

It's really helpful for building containers and handling multiple apps.

We have three applications. They are running on Windows using C Sharp, Java, and Python. We're able to build containers for each.

It's easy to run a single command and run the containers on a local machine. It's very easy to adjust the logs and describe your containers properly.

We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command. That's very handy.

The stability is very good. 

There are a lot of features included in the solution. 

We have found that it is not easy to install it into a Windows system. I get very frustrated with Windows. When I install a Docker instance on a Windows machine, it is not easy to handle. In contrast, it's very easy to use on the Mac OS.

I'd like the solution to be more flexible.

I've used the solution for about three to four years. 

The solution is reliable and stable. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is very scalable. I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten.

The solution is open-source the support you get depends on the licensing you have.

Neutral

I have witnessed an ROI while using the solution. I'd rate the ability to achieve ROI nine out of ten.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. It's likely the latest.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It is very easy to use. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

Docker is a POC setup and a proof of concept. Therefore, we work closely with other clients and proof some designs.

We have found the customization feature most valuable. Docker is used for customizing images and is a self-hosted or self-managed application. It is neat and very flexible, and you can have all your applications and dependencies in one image. You can use that image in different applications and run it off other applications. You only need a registry to put them in, and you can leverage it. Kubernetes helps with orchestration.

The product could be improved by providing more documentation and detailed tutorials for the initial setup. Additionally, in the next release, I would love them to add the latest base image for DPN. They can look closely into upgrading their base images to assist some of our clients in looking for specific base images to build their applications. Unfortunately, base images are not currently available.

We have been using this solution for approximately two years.

Our experience with technical support has been decent. It falls in line with the general support aspect of Docker. It depends on the plan we are using. So if you have a higher goal, you get full support. I rate our experience with customer service and support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have not worked with other similar solutions.

The initial setup is straightforward. I rate it a six out of ten.

I cannot comment on licensing costs as I don't have access to that information.

I rate this solution nine out of ten. The solution is good and easy to use but can be improved by including more documentation and detailed tutorials for the initial setup.

I have an energy management platform running on AWS, but I saw some limitations in that setup. So I'm designing one to be independent and containerized rather than using AWS services. That is why I'm now checking if I could go to a Red Hat OpenShift or EKS.

The solution's most valuable feature is having containers independent of the operating system or environment. Also, you can just be modular and scale with the solution.

The solution’s documentation could improve a bit.

A new feature was added to Kubernetes to deploy and manage containers. Currently, it is a bit of a tedious process to combine containers using Docker. Hence, a new way to deploy containers would be a good feature to be included in Docker's next release.

I have been using Docker for one year.

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable.

I've never contacted Docker's technical support, but I contacted the developer of a few images that were incompatible with Mac.

The initial setup is fairly easy and fast.

The pricing of the solution is fairly cheap.

I am using the latest version of Docker. Currently, we have four people using Docker in our company. My company chose Docker because it is popular and used on all platforms.

People should definitely use Docker. Since there's a learning curve, users should first start small and then expand. It also depends on your use case. You need to understand what Docker is because it is not always the right solution for everything. Docker is very lightweight, and you can use it to build containers and create your application. It will be modular and cross-platform.

Overall, I rate Docker an eight out of ten because it is a cross-platform solution that is straightforward and easy to use.

I am using Docker for the containers as a method for parallel processing for the software.

The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux.

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.

I have been using Docker for a couple of years.

The stability of Docker is good, but approximately one year ago it was not good. 

Docker is scalable.

We have approximately 30 seismic processor users using the solution. The solution is used on a daily basis.

We do not have support from Docker. However, there is documentation available online that is useful.

Docker is simple to implement. It is a lot easier than other solutions to implement.

I rate the initial setup of Docker a five out of five.

Docker is a free open-source solution.

I rate Docker an eight out of ten.

We use Docker to build, run, and ship any application.

The solution's most valuable feature is container registry interface.

They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup and other processes.

The solution is stable. Although, it consumes a lot of battery and RAM to create virtualization on macOS.

We have ten solution users in our organization. Its scalability for multiple VMs needs improvement.

The solution's customer service is good.

Positive

We were using VMware as well. In comparison, Docker is easy to use, consumes fewer resources, and takes less time to complete the process.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. It takes less than an hour and requires one person to execute. Also, it is easy to maintain because we can see logs.

I use the solution's open-source version.

I advise others to use JPT to create docker images. They should know the basic process for it. I rate the solution a ten.

We use the solution to pick up applications and migrate them to run inside containers in Java. 

I am impressed with the product's independence. We can also deploy it anywhere. 

The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it. 

I have been using the product for four to five years. 

The product's initial setup was easy. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. You won't have much choice if you choose the cloud. The tool helps to reduce costs.
