Containerization has standardized deployments and drives faster, more reliable delivery
As Docker is already a very mature tool, there are areas where it can be improved based on real-world usage. One area I consider is the Windows container experience. The pain point here is that Windows containers are heavier and slower than Linux containers because I have worked in both environments and felt that Windows containers are heavier and slower than Linux containers. This also limits the ecosystem and tooling maturity compared to Linux containers. Improvements could include performance optimization and better parity with Linux container features. Apart from that, observability and debugging is another area. The pain point is the limited native metrics available and limited logging and tracing features. Improvements could include adding a good amount of metrics, logging, and tracing, as well as better built-in observability features and easier container introspection. Network complexity is also present. I face issues with Docker networking that can become confusing in complex setups, and debugging container-to-container issues is not always intuitive. Improvements can be made with simpler networking abstractions and better built-in troubleshooting tools. Docker is excellent for containerization and CI/CD, but it can be improved in areas of built-in security, network simplicity, and observability. These points should be kept in mind and worked on.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"I think the best feature is to replicate anything in our local machine using a simple command."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"The most valuable feature is Docker has a fast learning curve."
"We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command."
"Docker packages up an application as a single item that you can then run without the need to install or configure it to work on any specific machine."
"When used in conjunction with Kubernetes, it is seamless because it integrates very well."
"The tool helps us in code versioning. I think it's pretty much easy to use and very straightforward. Even if someone is new to the tool, they can easily start using it with a little guidance or theoretical knowledge. Go through the tool and start using it without much struggle."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
 

Cons

"Docker needs to improve its pricing."
"As for improving Docker, I would like to see enhancements in its user interface and documentation to make it even more user-friendly and accessible. I believe Docker will expand its scope and reduce limitations to support more applications, both online and offline. For instance, in scenarios like deployments on ships or during upgrades, Docker can continue to offer software services and container-based intelligence."
"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."
"The learning curve with Docker is huge and extensive"
"Enhancing artificial intelligence capabilities and cluster management should be a priority. It should facilitate some security management."
"The backup compatibility for legacy window stations is an area of concern where improvement is required, especially since my company has certain legacy tools that we are struggling to move."
"Docker volumes. When I integrated volumes, I faced challenges. I have not essentially used add volumes to the existing instances."
"The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is an open-source technology and not a commercial product. However, you will have to pay sometimes. The tool's pricing depends on the vendor."
"Docker is a free open-source solution."
"The solution offers an open-source version that is free and includes a lot of functionality."
"The current cost for us is nothing as an open source."
"Docker's price is good."
"Docker is a free tool."
"It's an open-source solution, so it doesn't cost anything"
"Customers pay for the license through a yearly subscription model, where they pay per license. This means that the license is based on a subscription, and the customer pays annually for each license they use."
