We performed a comparison between Docker and Komodor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is the Dockerfile, which makes the life of developers easy. Developers get a real understanding of container creation."
"The lift and shift creates a lightweight image."
"The initial setup was easy, and you are only required to run commands."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it provides a containerized environment. The isolation between the environments is beneficial. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is automation. When I deploy the solution I am confident it will work anywhere. It is reliable and easy to use."
"The scalability of Docker is good."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"The event timeline has been super helpful, enabling us to overlay node events in the same timeline as deployment events... That helps an engineer very quickly troubleshoot without having to do too much digging."
"Komodor's multi-cluster centralized event timeline is the most valuable feature."
"The more time we use Komodor the more we save. Currently, we have seen around a ten percent return on investment."
"The service overview is definitely the most valuable feature. With it, I can see all the services and see if they're healthy or not without having to go specifically into each workflow individually. It has been immensely helpful for us whenever we've had network issues or other such issues. We've been able to use Komodor and see at a glance where there might be potential issues."
"The most valuable aspect is the speed with which I can narrow down what's going on. Usually, I look at the overview of events and then the timeline of an event and the status of the logs to quickly check what's happening or what has happened."
"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."
"Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations."
"The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it."
"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."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
"There is always room for improvement. I often refer to forums such as StackOverflow to learn from other developers' experiences and the challenges they have faced while using Docker."
"The solution’s documentation could improve a bit."
"I hope that the cost analytics and resource usage allocation areas will see further development. For example, where we can now see if the pods are over- or under-provisioned, I wouldn't mind higher-level development."
"One thing we don't have visibility into, which I would love to have, is metrics, such as user logins and usage. It's really hard to know what people are doing when I don't have any metrics on that directly."
"I like the alerts that Komodor provides, but I think the alert interface could be improved."
"Komodor's visibility could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in how the product is installed. We've already communicated these things directly to Komodor. One feature we would like to see is for Komodor to be highly available on the clusters. Currently, it's only able to run in one instance within the cluster."
Docker is ranked 7th in Container Management with 40 reviews while Komodor is ranked 12th in Container Management with 5 reviews. Docker is rated 8.6, while Komodor is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of Docker writes "Easy to deploy with an impressive networking feature". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Komodor writes "Provides extensive visibility into our nodes and has been incredibly useful in freeing up our DevOps staff for other projects". Docker is most compared with Mirantis Container Runtime, Rancher Labs, VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), whereas Komodor is most compared with Portainer, Amazon EKS and Rancher Labs.
