Docker containers are like a ready images of an environment that has a specific application installed within it. That result in ease of use of applications in different OS'es. Moreover, the OS system will not be affected by the application as the later is kind of isolated in that scenario.And that principle hardens the security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"King of Containerization"
What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Docker is one of the best tool I ever used in my life. It helps you to ship all your application runtime dependencies. No need to configure anything in any system.

Containers are very light weight. Best part, they are repeatable . You exactly know how they are going to behave in the production system as they are behaving in your local laptop. Removing Ops issues a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Docker is available only command line which is very good for Linux developers but i think if Docker develop a UI as well for these operations, then anybody can use that. Just a thought Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ship Your Code as Ready to deploy images"
What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Docker is an amazing tool, if you want a highly scalable application. It encapsulates your code into docker images which can run on any linux system kernal. You do not need to worry about your environment, as environment is contained in the docker image itself. Great if you have applications whose environment can interfere with each other. For example, one of your applications uses java 7, while the other one uses java 8. You can run both application on a single system by having separate images for both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

You need to create docker image from your code, even if your code have a single line of change, whole image needs to be rebuild. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ship Code in the form of Docker Images"
What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Forget the old times, when you need to configure each server individually for your application. The task used to become more tough when frequent scale up and scale downs are required. Docker can run on Linux kernal, not need to set up specific environment for application as environment is already encapsulated in docker image it self. It saves a lot of time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

For even a single line change of code change, you will need to rebuild the complete docker image, which takes sufficient amount time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
