Windows images are much bigger compared to linux ones, and there are some limitations to running windows containers. I don't like how you can't use virtual box wile running docker. I don't like that you have to reboot/restart docker when switching between windows and linux containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker allows for a customizable container for any type of application/microservice service/etc. I have used other virtualization tools before, such as VMWare, Vagrant, and none of them have been as easy to set up or easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Trying to handle and get multiple docker containers to talk to each other is definitely a challenge and requires a bit of a learning curve. Docker environments are not perfect replicas of actual linux servers, since they provide their own type of architecture, but luckily it's close enough to where it can be useful.

Docker is extremely configurable and performs better than a virtual machine. Virtual machine has their own memory management, thus possess extreme overhead on the host system. While the Docker container runs as an application, could be started in few seconds and the applications in the container perform same as the virtual machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Docker container is not standalone, means you can't run it instead of an OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's open source. It makes you able to have a self-contained of an entire platform to run, test or develop a specific application. To work in a team is the best option because you and your team don't have to be worried about if you have different versions of libraries or languages or servers or operating system, all your project needs are going to be contained in the docker image.

Taking into account that you don't need a Virtual Box or another machine virtualization system is another big advantage over similar systems such as Vagrant.

It has a lot of plugins to give you more features, for example, docker-compose that is a plugin that allows you to define a file where you decide the images (Multiple containers) you want to be in your application platform, who and how is going to be linked with, define the service ports that are going to be exposed to use them out of the container.

Another useful plugin could be docker swarm that allows you to have persistence of data in volumes, or outside containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- The support for MAC is not native.

- It doesn't have a GUI to help the user be able to use easily without learning commands and how to define a dockerfile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'd say that docker is a tool that is particularly designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Its an amazing tool in itself. As far my views are concerned it's a bit like an virtual machine but with the distinction that it allows application(s) to use same Kernel as the system that they're running on. Further it's an open source and hence extending its exposure to the developers and system contributors all round the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well as far as my views are concerned I haven't had and still don't have any reason or concerns about it that is counted as the reason for disliking it rather I'd say its an amazing container based tool with plenty of security features and tools available making it a worth having one.

Docker is free fora basic subscription, which is a hosted platform that allows the devs and SA (System Admins) to develop and manage their apps with the Docker container. One of the advantages is like is that as a developer I can within my apps without the need of committing any additional hardware requirements or even spinning the virtual server. Moreover, another advantage is to limit the number of troubleshooting to get all the parts of IT infrastructure to work together. what I like about Docker, since it is only used for applications, there isn't any underlying layers i need to worry about, i can just go ahead and start working with my app in Docker. And the last feature i like about docker is that Docker is setup to work with two source code hosting services which are GitHub and BitBucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a learning curve for those who do not have knowledge on how to use Linux bases environments, Which does take up much of you time to learn OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
