We performed a comparison between Docker and OpenShift Container Platform 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 customer service is good."
"The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to install."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its portability, ease of security management, and low resource usage."
"The most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"OpenShift provides tools that tell me everything I have on a container, and I can make it on-premise or on a cloud infrastructure."
"The solution is stable. However, it depends on the integrations of the solution on how stable it will be, such as what tools you integrate with."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"Autoscaling is an excellent feature that makes it very simple to scale our applications as required."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"The solution’s documentation could improve a bit."
"We'd like knowledge transfer to be easier."
"The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important."
"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."
"If you install Docker on a host, it creates its own firewalls. It can become an issue. Usually, when you want to install Docker, you need to restart the firewall or restart the active tables on the machine, but this is not the case with Kubernetes. It uses the default set up by the next administrator, but with Docker, you have to restart the firewall and restart Docker before the firewall on the system will be okay. If you do not the rules will not be created."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"The solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"It can take 10 to 15 minutes to deploy a microservice. The CI/CD process takes a long time, and if it's because of OCP, that is something that can be changed."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"The complexity of the installation could be reduced. While we got the necessary support, the instructions could be clearer."
"There should be a simplification of the overall cluster environment. It should require fewer resources. Just to run a simple Hello World app, it requires about seven servers, and that's just crazy. I understand that it is fully redundant, but it's prohibitively expensive to get something simple going."
"Whenever we onboard or deploy services that talk to Oracle Database, they take a lot of time to become active and serve the incoming request, so it would be good to see some improvement here. This could be an OpenShift issue or an internal network problem within our organization."
"It has an option to install OpenShift without connecting it to the Internet. We tried this, but it was very hard. We couldn't manage to use that option. We wanted to use it offline for installations, updates, upgrades, etc., but we didn't find the offline installation and updates easy. This could be better."
"OpenShift needs to improve their container storage."
