"The current version is quite good with our application."
"I think the best feature is to replicate anything in our local machine using a simple command."
"We are using Docker to host applications."
"The most valuable feature is Docker has a fast learning curve."
"The lift and shift creates a lightweight image."
"The primary issue we've encountered is pricing. Some customers find the pricing to be somewhat high. Additionally, there's a discrepancy between the promised resource utilization and the actual utilization. The resource utilization calculations don't align with the provided guidelines. So, the pricing and resource utilization calculations could be refined."
