We performed a comparison between Docker and Rancher Labs 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 scalability of Docker is good."
"We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command."
"Docker creates lightweight applications that are easy to manage and scale."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its portability, ease of security management, and low resource usage."
"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."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"Docker is easy to understand and follow. It provides good scalability to the application."
"Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
"Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved."
"Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it."
"Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations."
"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"Could be more intuitive."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
