Docker Reviews

I use Docker for containerization.

Docker has helped my organization by allowing us to run microservers in our environment.

The most valuable feature of Docker is its portability, ease of security management, and low resource usage.

The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important.

I have been using Docker for approximately three years.

Docker is a reliable solution.

I rate the stability of Docker an eight out of ten.

The scalability of Docker is good. It is good for packaging applications.

I rate the support from Docker an eight out of ten.

The initial setup of Docker is straightforward. It is simple to receive the build and the file image you want.

I have seen a return on investment using Docker.

Docker is a free open-source solution.

My advice to others is to use only office images from reputable sites and keep in mind it does not run containers at the root.

I rate Docker a nine out of ten.

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 and bundle applications.

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 binaries and dependencies are all bundled together and they are in a similar fashion in both places.

I would like to see better management layers. One example of this would be binary shipping. I would also like to see Docker utilize a concept like Red Hat Family.

I have been using Docker for three to four years.

The stability is excellent. Sometimes, memory management can be tricky.

Docker is scalable on both community and commercial levels. I am using the community version. There are around one hundred to one hundred and twenty of us using Docker on a daily basis.

For customer support, we are using the documentation on the forums and they are suitable.

The initial setup was very simple and straightforward.

You can use either an in-house or vendor team. We simply downloaded Docker into our organizational environment.

There are a sufficient number of YouTube videos and best practices to build Docker. I would encourage a potential user to investigate those videos. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Docker a nine.

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 use this solution for data collection and transfer across applications.

We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good.

We would like to see improvement in adding the node into the Docker Swarm cluster, as at present it is a little tricky and requires a lot of manual steps.

We have been working with this solution for over six years.

We have found this to be a stable product.

Generally, this solution is scalable. However, each container has to be scaled separately and manually.

The initial, basic setup for this solution is easy via the cloud.

We implemented this solution in-house.

This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs.

This solution is being developed and improved regularly, so we recommend organizations to look at the cloud-based variant.  This will make it easier to stay as up to date as possible.

 I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

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.
