Docker Reviews

Docker helps us implement applications quickly.

Docker is convenient and easy to use. We can create and implement different types of virtual machines. It provides a lot of flexibility. The applications can be deployed quickly.

The stability could be improved.

The product is stable and reliable. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

Five engineers in the IT team use the product in our organization.

The support team is fast, customer-friendly, knowledgeable, and quite professional.

We didn't face any issues with the installation.

We deployed the tool in-house.

The tool provides a return on investment. We are able to deploy some services and applications faster and be aligned with business requirements.

We have a monthly subscription. The product is not expensive. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

We do not use the solution often. It works well. We don’t have huge projects. I will recommend the tool to others. Everyone in IT uses Docker. Everyone knows it. At some level, a company must find a way to use Infrastructure as a Service by implementing different container technologies like Docker. Many IT personnel are aware of the solution. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

We set it up a lot of times to create environments for our students. 

When we teach our students, it's really important that everybody is on the same version of all their dependencies. So, Docker, we can set up the images on Docker, and it sets everybody up. 

So it's a much smoother process. Without Docker, without these containers, it would be a nightmare trying to get 20 to 30 students to set up their environments correctly. So this is just a really quick and easy way to use it.

Just the portability of Docker's containers and its ability to give everybody the exact same environment and experience is most valuable to me. 

It could be easier to create images and save them on reports.

Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers.

We have used it every day in my current company just to set up our environment for our build processes. We create a lot of labs.

We use the latest Docker version 4.22.

It is a very stable product.

It is extremely scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup was very easy. I use it on-premises as well as in the cloud. So we use it in both places.

It's free, as far as I know. 

Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution for containerization. We've replaced it with other solutions. We are using it to compartmentalize some legacy products. We are also onboarding other third-party applications using it. We have a few use cases. 

It's helped to save many resources.

The features, such as scaling and high availability, have been excellent. 

It is easy to set up. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale well. 

The pricing could be a bit better. We'd like the least amount of spend as possible.

We'd like knowledge transfer to be easier.

The support could be better. 

The solution can be a bit expensive. 

I've been using the solution for about six years so far. 

The solution has been pretty stable. 

The solution can scale well. 

I'm not sure how many users are currently using the solution. We are migrating all development teams over to containers. 

We have support from our vendor and also use support for the Kubernetes cluster. It could use some improvement. It could be a bit better. They should be more responsive. 

I've been working with Kubernetes alongside other solutions. 

The implementation, for me, was pretty simple. I'm not sure if others would have issues. 

I would deeply it on top of the Kubernetes cluster. It usually takes one day to deploy. We're using Docker as a service for testing purposes and have implemented it on Kubernetes clusters in order to test and deploy applications in order to handle production-grade applications. 

Have not looked into ROI to see if we have witnessed any. 

I'm not sure what the exact pricing is. I don't deal with licensing. However, my understanding is it is expensive. 

I started using the trial version and moved on to the latest version. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. I'd rate it nine out of ten. 

We used to have a silo problem. Docker solved it because we're able to containerize the microservices that we're developing in the form of Docker mail.

Once we run the Docker image, it becomes a container. This container is guaranteed to run in every machine because we're installing Docker as the platform. On top of Docker platform, we're curating the Docker images and running the container. That container has a limited number of libraries and a limited number of data, which is required to run the application.

Each container has a limited library system, which is required to run the application. This encapsulation makes it work perfectly, irrespective of the system. It works perfectly once we have encapsulated the application and containerized it. This is guaranteed to run in each machine.

We're deploying the solution on Azure cloud. We're curating the CI/CD pipeline. In the CI/CD pipeline, we're curating the Docker images and pushing it to the container registry. We're writing the steps for how to build the Docker image into the YAML code. Once the Docker image is built, it's pushed to the container registry. We're writing this YAML code in the pipeline.

Every person on the DevOps team is using this Docker tool.

We have plans to increase usage because it's a great tool, and it's the latest technology. We're no longer developing monolith architecture, so everyone is developing applications with microservices. Docker is the best tool to containerize the application and encapsulate it.

We used to work on monolithic architecture to develop the application until it goes to the production environment. It takes a huge amount of time. Now, we are using a microservices architecture. Rather than creating the application as a whole, we are dividing the application into small services. Each microservice is loosely coupled. With each microservice, we can develop and containerize it in the form of a Docker container.

If an application has a hundred microservices, like on an e-commerce portal website, then the login is usually one application, the catalog is one application, and the E-card is one application. Each application can be considered as one service. For each microservice, we can develop a code and containerize it.

Containerization is the most valuable feature. I can communicate to the Docker containers using other containers. The copying feature is helpful because if a container dies, we won't lose the data. That data is retained because of this data volume feature. We mount it to our shared system or any shared folder.

I would like to see a more UI-based tool so that students can easily understand it rather than memorizing all of the Docker commands. Some people try using Docker desktop and containers to make it graphical.

Docker Swarm could have more advanced features, like Kubernetes, which has an auto scaling feature and cell-filling capabilities.

I have used Docker for four years.

I would rate the stability as seven out of ten.

I would rate the scalability as seven out of ten.

I would rate technical support as seven out of ten.

Setup is simple. We can install Docker with just one command. It doesn't take more than three to four minutes to run the pipeline. A Docker image is built in that time frame.

We're running the pipeline in a self-hosted agent or Microsoft-hosted agent.

Docker Compose can be installed easily. It allows you to use multiple containers at a time. Docker Swarm can also be installed easily.

Docker is open source. To use a Docker enterprise model, we would need to pay for it.

I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

My advice is to create an account on Docker Hub. In Docker Hub, there are three Docker images available for practice. We use GitHub to see how we're making the Docker images and then push it to the public Docker Hub. I have an account in Docker Hub and have images there that I can reuse later. I would also advise completing a Udemy course for Docker or watching YouTube videos about it. This will make Docker easier to understand.

Docker can be deployed on-premise or on the cloud.

We are using Docker for containerizing our applications.

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.

Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations. 

There can be a lot of issues with Microsoft Windows and Docker and those issues should be resolved in a future release. For example, if you are running Docker and you are running a lot of things in Microsoft Windows, these issues should be resolved.

I have been using Docker for approximately 

Docker is highly stable.

The scalability of Docker is very good.

Every machine learning group in my company uses Docker. We have approximately 2000 to 3000 people using it.

I have not needed to use the support from Docker because I have not had any issues.

The initial setup of Docker was extremely easy. The only part that takes some time is the containerization, the rest of the process is quick.

I rate the initial setup of Docker a ten out of ten.

Docker is a free-to-use solution. However, Docker Enterprise is not free.

We chose Docker over other solutions because it has a relatively large use user base. It is a popular solution.

If you are trying to use Docker for the first time, make sure that the Docker file you have or the containerization which is done, is done properly. If the containerization is not done properly there can be some folders that are not mounted correctly and it causes several issues.

Docker Enterprise takes less time to set up if I was to compare it to this Docker free open-sourced version.

I rate Docker a nine out of ten.

In our line of work, we've been involved in various sectors, such as industrial products, transportation, client engineering, telecom, and medical. For instance, we're currently developing an IT platform. One key use case we're tackling is device management.

We're looking at managing devices within our setup. These devices send data or signals, which then get transferred to the cloud. It's all about handling the lifecycle of these devices, deploying them, and managing non-provisioned ones, both on our end and on the client's side.

Docker needs to improve its pricing. 

I rate Docker's stability a nine out of ten. 

One of the primary reasons we use the tool is its scalability. It scales easily, and we haven't had any issues with it.

Docker's support is user-friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. 

The tool's deployment difficulty is medium.

It tends to make sense as an investment for larger enterprises, but the cost might seem expensive for smaller businesses.

We use the tool for some of our services. We use it for containerization.

Load balancing features are valuable. We are leveraging this software for containerized services. We are using EKS for orchestration. We are leveraging almost all features. The solution helps save costs. We can know how much CPU memory is required so we can manage it accordingly.

Docker management is very difficult when we have a large number of nodes.

I have been using the solution for the last two years.

I rate the tool’s stability a six or seven out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a six out of ten. We have more than 500 users. The tool is used extensively. We have plans to increase usage in the future.

We get good support from AWS.

The setup is straightforward. We need ten people for deployment, including managers, developers, and the IT team.

We can deploy the product ourselves.

We use the open-source version.

We use EKS for large applications. I will recommend the solution to others. If people want to leverage load balancing and containerized services with less CPU and load management, they can use Docker. We must pay for EKS based on the clusters and nodes we use. The price depends on the use case. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Docker for containerization, deployment, and to create packages. Docker has a wide range of uses and integrates well with other command-line tools like Terraform. Docker is most helpful when trying to work with CI/CD pipelines.

Docker's containerization property is its main selling point.

I'd like to see the new update on containers and what you can achieve with the new version of Docker by using containers. I would also like to know the range of applications for which it can be used. I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release.

I have been using Docker for one year.

I rate Docker a nine out of ten for stability.

Docker is a very scalable solution. I rate Docker a nine out of ten for scalability.

Docker's initial setup is straightforward. As a command line tool, it also provides you with docks to reference if you get stuck or have issues.

The solution's deployment time depends on your internet latency or internet speed and the size of the container. If you are deploying a very large application, it will take some time to set up.

Docker is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

To effectively use Docker, users should learn the basics of Docker and understand what containers and images are in Docker.

Overall, I rate Docker a nine out of ten.

When we are developing an application, we try various libraries. It is better to isolate one application from the other because if they install one library and then it doesn't work on the other end or while using a driver, then it doesn't work on the other driver. There is always this conflict that is bothering us, and that is where Docker separates containers to build applications.

Docker is a useful tool that we just implement and use directly.

It is a perfect solution for me stability-wise. Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved. It is important to note that I am not an expert to speak about what needs improvement.

In the future releases of Docker, we should be able to isolate a couple of applications. It should also be possible to isolate an environment.

I have been using Docker for one or two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have a couple of users in our organization using Docker since it's just a test system right now.

We don't have plans to increase usage.

We haven't contacted the technical support of Docker. We did search for the details of Docker's support team on Google.

We have used the virtual machine named VMware previously. We switched to Docker because VMware was very clumsy when we tried to build a lot of virtual machines using it. VMware is best suitable as a business solution.

The initial setup of the complete environment is complex, but Docker is easy to set up.

If you want to set up a complete environment, it will take a week, depending on the applications.

We don't do the deployment since we only look into the PoC phase. The company we work with does the deployment, and then they worry about the environment, infrastructure, and other things.

We do the deployment by ourselves because we need to test or develop some applications and do the PoC phase.

Docker is perfect for what I do, though it is really limited as a tool.

Overall. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently. 

The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it. 

I have been using the solution for six to seven years. 

The tool's stability is high and I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution 24/7. 

The tool is an open-source product and there is no technical support for it. 

We use Hyper-V and VMware as per our client's requirements. 

The tool's setup is difficult and I would rate it a two out of ten. The tool's POC can be completed in a couple of hours. However, if the project is big, then deployment can take around one to two months to complete. 

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. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The solution is a virtualization technology that is more like a mini-computer.
