docker I don't like that it doesn't install well on all windows machines, especially those older servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker containers ensure consistency across multiple development and release cycles, standardizing your environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although the core Docker platform is open source, some container products don't work with other ones — usually due to competition between the companies that back them. For example, OpenShift, Red Hat's container-as-a-service platform, only works with the Kubernetes orchestrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Docker Compose feature within Docker is by far its best feature. You can spin up a large number of containers and environments with Docker Compose, and all it takes is one single configuration file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The worst part of Docker is that it has a steep learning curve. If you have nobody to help you learn, you will have to utilize the online documentation in order to learn how to fix your errors and write the configuration files. It may take you weeks until you can have a fully-functioning Docker environment, depending on how many microservices you need to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using docker for the last 3 months. I found that the most helpful about docker platform is it help software developers and sysadmin for deploying their application in cloud and running that in any platform. Docker comes with a develop, deploy and run strategy where developers can give their code for testing purpose without changing their code for making it run in different OS. So it saves a lot of time and overhead for developers like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint is when a container crashes, had to sometimes put in an infinite loop at the bottom of a bash script to keep it alive so I could find out the error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker is the best tool if you want to build some data containers and keep building and destroy your containers anytime you want. It's easy to manage and deal with, you can simply install it with Docker for Desktop and start run your containers with the deserved application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You need to keep learning, the technology evolves too fast. You also need knowledge about networking and filesystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to use. A single dockerfile or docker-compose allows you to set up multiple containers and allows them to work in tandem. There's no need to deal with host names and IP addresses (can be accessed directly using the container name), which is a huge bonus. It also helps that the community support is great.

The differences between versions (Of docker-compose for example) are very significant, and requires rewrites to work with newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
