We performed a comparison between Docker and Kubernetes 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 most valuable feature is that it is cost-saving."
"I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms."
"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."
"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"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 current version is quite good with our application."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Docker creates lightweight applications that are easy to manage and scale."
"The performance is good."
"The best thing about Kubernetes is orchestration. It is very good. We will not see much downtime unless there are some human errors. We do not see much downtime or issues with the container or automation."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is container orchestration."
"All the current features are quite harmonic."
"Kubernetes' integration with AWS Lambda is great. I barely had to write any code to connect from EKS to Lambda, so Kubernetes is programmer friendly."
"The scalability seems quite good."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a container orchestrator. It has a huge user base and it is easily incorporated into all of the public clouds."
"The cluster is very stable with outward scalability and good performance."
"The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important."
"There are elements of stability that are problematic. One of the most recent upgrades created a major incident on our cloud, whereby the containers were not restarting automatically."
"I think Docker can improve as it relates to overall stability."
"The solution could improve with a GUI instead of only a command line interface. Having to use the command line interface can be a hassle."
"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve."
"Kubernetes can be used for most companies, but for some companies that may be too small, it may not be worth the investment, as it is expensive."
"The first time it was a little bit complex to setup the solution."
"The plugins could be better. That is one pain point we had, and we had to get in with many other open standards, like Calico networking and more."
"The price is something they need to improve."
"Kubernetes is a bit complex, and there's a steep learning curve. At the same time, I cannot imagine how it could be easier. You need many add-ons to it, and the commercial releases of Kubernetes should address that."
"It increases developers' overhead."
"Some Kubernetes technical support would be helpful."
"I think that the GUI dashboard in Kubernetes is very simple and that there are no great options."
Docker is ranked 7th in Container Management with 40 reviews while Kubernetes is ranked 4th in Container Management with 68 reviews. Docker is rated 8.6, while Kubernetes is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Docker writes "Easy to deploy with an impressive networking feature". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Kubernetes writes "Container orchestrator that deploys our machine learning solutions". 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 Kubernetes is most compared with VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Amazon EKS, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, Google Kubernetes Engine and OpenShift Container Platform.

We monitor all Container Management reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
