281 Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) Reviews
Docker anything is hands-down the most industry ready containerization tool available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Learning curve is fairly steep and training new resources is expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker streamlines many aspects of our workflow: from development to microservice deployment. Docker is everything a VM is not. We even use it for creating simple static websites. It plays very nice with continuous integration/deployment tools like Jenkins and Teamcity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although not directly a flaw of Docker itself, we have had some difficulties with the shared volumes functionality. It is a bit difficult to set up user permissions for mounted folders. We want this for our development workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that there are plenty of Docker images and that I do not have to install a bunch of programs to run a program, especially if I just want to try it out. I use a lot of programs for genomic assembly and analysis. Docker allows me to save some space on my computing cluster by only using a program as needed rather than installing it and consuming valuable space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that sometimes programs are out of date and sometimes, I cannot open a Docker container due to some background issue. Also, it did take a me a bit to learn how Docker worked, but I learned fairly quickly. Mainly, though, I dislike that I didn't know about Docker sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Containerize ever individual piece of your development environment and create unmatched flexibility. Try out a new package version with a quick container swap and switch back with a few simple commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For more complex environments, the containers can hog quite a chunk of your host machine's resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Creating complex containers using docker files which automate a lot of DevOps manual labour
- Having some preconfigured containers to do fast tests
- The swarm takes away a lot of the work you would need to do for high availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Kitematic UI is still very limited in functionality
- Containers on Windows are somewhat hit and miss, Linux is strongly recommended

Containerization of my apps and deploying into environments and it's ability to maintain it all for me with a simple config. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation could be a lot better - tutorials and training to get someone from 0 to 60 could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The solution to the problem of "works on my machine but not on production" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing much. But at times it becomes difficult to get help as it is a new thing and there is not much help available on the forums Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker has saved us thousands of hours in patching and downtime. Spinning up a virtual instance in our SaaS environment was always a challenge, Docker made it possible. From Dev -> QAS -> Sandbox -> Stage -> Prod it has saved us time, money and possible embarrassment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A few small issues but takes a lot of time to work around. The Docker images are somewhat stateless and creating persistent storage is extra effort.
What is dislike most is to answer the question: "What is the Future of Docker?" when I get asked by our internal sponsors. It doesn't seem as bright as it was 3 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
