Docker Reviews

Containerization is one of the use cases of Docker. Basically, Docker provides containers to its users. So, users can build, run and share containers among developers.

Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly. Also, though the solution may look basic, it is a very relevant one in the market owing to the functionalities that it provides to its users.

I'm not a developer but a salesperson, so I cannot contribute much in terms of what needs improvement in the solution from a technical perspective.

From a marketing perspective, we, as distributors, wish that Docker would figure out a way to reach more customers. Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve. So, since Docker was commercialized a year and a half ago, it should plan to work on its marketing part. Also, there is room for improvement in terms of the security provided by the solution. So, it should be an ongoing process that never ends.

I work in an IT company, and we are currently working on a distribution model. So, we are the distributors for Docker. Hence, we are not using Docker much and are involved in selling it. So, my company has been associated with Docker since the time it started its business.

It is very stable. So, the tool is as stable as it can get in terms of containers.

Regarding the solution's scalability, it can be automated, but Docker does not have that automation feature. So, its integration process can be carried out with an infrastructure automation tool like Terraform. In short, scalability is one of the features that Docker offers for anything with containers or anything you're running in containers.

Regarding our customers who are using Docker, I would say that we have a great and huge market share. Even though I feel that Docker's market share is around 90%, it could be more than that.

Docker provides all the technical support to its users, especially to those who purchased a Docker license, which comes with a basic SLA agreement. It means the technical support is covered directly by the vendor. Docker has a team of engineers who work in its technical support team serving globally 24/7.

The solution's initial setup process was straightforward. Basically, it is an open-source product, so one does not have to worry about the setup process since it's as basic as it can get. So, our company does not have to position the solution with the customers because they already use it. We just have to make sure the customers are shifted to the enterprise version of the solution so that our company can make some money.

The solution can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises, so our customers can choose a hybrid model.

Regarding the deployment process, one can directly download Docker from their official website, making it very straightforward. Also, I am unable to elaborate further since I have never personally deployed the solution as a salesperson.

Regarding the deployment and maintenance of the solution, any developer can deploy it. So, even you or I can try to deploy it since it is very straightforward.

Customers pay for the license through a yearly subscription model, where they pay per license. This means that the license is based on a subscription, and the customer pays annually for each license they use. If you consider the features that Docker provides to its users, I would say that the solution is affordable.

Docker is considered to be a flagship product when it comes to containerization. If a person is going to run containers for developers, Docker should probably be chosen. Docker's enterprise version is also a great solution. For any enterprise organization that is running containers or building or developing application containers, Docker will offer some great features that allow a person to collaborate with the whole development team and manage everything. Docker provides its users with the functionality to control and manage everything. Since Docker is the best solution in terms of containerization, I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

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.

We use Docker to build pipelines and deploy applications. We primarily use it to create application images that we deploy on Kubernetes Podass. The solution is deployed on-premises and via a private cloud.

The solution is lightweight which is valuable. Additionally, the ease of deploying on any cloud is valuable.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is very good, and I am unsure how it can improve further. I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images.

We have been using Docker for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Currently, we have approximately 300 employees in development utilizing the solution.

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

We chose to use this product because of its stability and because of reviews from people who previously used it and had no issues.

The initial setup was easy, and you are only required to run commands.

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 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.

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 are using Docker as a container for our server setup. We use images of Windows, Linux, or Ubuntu. Additionally, we install solution support.

The most valuable feature of Docker is the dedicated QA environment for connecting the team members. Additionally, there are many core features available and it is highly secure when we are imaging a client's server.

Docker could improve by having more advanced features.

I have been using Docker for approximately seven years.

Docker is stable.

The scalability of Docker is good.

We have approximately eight people using the solution.
