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

- I don't have to install any software. Everything is dockerized!

- I can run multiple copies of everything for scaling.

- Containers start instantly. So fast.

- After I delete containers, no residue is left. It is truly a sandbox.

- Docker perfectly manages its storage space. If you are downloading two similar images, docker would only save the common parts of those images once.

- Docker is ever-growing. This is the future, and development is very active. You get new updates very often, and you can tell that they are moving in the right direction.

- The concept of containerization as a whole is so supreme and powerful, that you are really missing out, if you have not dockerized your applications yet. Docker has really redesigned the whole pipeline and deployment game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Lots of configurations to get some containers running.

- Containers don't have generic guidelines to start. Different containers take different skills to get up and running.

- Sometimes, the containers may die. Though this is not Docker's fault, it is application fault.

- Around 5-7 containers, my machine starts to give up.

- I don't like Kitematic. It can be more refined. Currently it doesn't even show logs properly, and is slow and brittle.

- Docker itself is small, but not all applications built inside docker are small. E.g. Just adding a language and couple of libraries would increase your storage significantly. This is not a docker fault per say, but not all applications have been re-worked to lower the memory and storage footprint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

Just use it. Everyone else uses it, and for good reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to treat each application as a box, which can be transported from one environment to another. Docker is the perfect solution for this. It has made our deployment so much faster, and our pipeline so much cleaner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love that Docker not only does containerization well, it makes it easy. With all of the tooling they have released it is a breeze to dive in. The community is amazing, for support as well as coming up with external tooling based on the Docker containerization technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I did dislike the lack of first-class support for Kubernetes, but they have recently released support for this orchestration technology. So, I am very happy with the changes in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

I definitely recommend installing all of the command line tools and really understanding the core concepts of containers, images, and how Docker's virtualization takes place. From this point you will have a great vantage to be able to implement as to your needs. Once you have solid footing here, check out Compose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving scalability and availability issues by leveraging Docker for containerization. We then apply orchestration and self healing techniques on top of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Docker is a lightweight and and faster than using a VM in my development workflow. Because Docker runs on Mac/Linux/Windows it has proven to be the most important way to experiment with new technologies and is integral to my development CI/CD workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Though this is not Docker's fault, I would like to be able to run a native macOS kernel instead of a linux one. Apple needs to embrace this as part of their ecosystem and support the community on this effort, much the way Microsoft has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

Initially the Docker/Container concept may be difficult to wrap your head around, especially into regards to it's value. My recommendation is to install it, and try it out. Once you have deployed multiple services and are running them on your machine, it will be hard not to imagine the possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

First and foremost I am using docker in my development workflow. It has sped up my development process and I am looking forward to further integrating into my workflow. I am also using docker to experiment with other services without polluting my development environment. It also let's me try new versions of services I already use before I commit to upgrading.

Provides best solution for deploying web services.Ease of use for integrating and deploying docker.Eazily modifiable and many other things are best about docker.We are using docker since many time and we are really grateful to this free service for many of our services deployed using docker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing to say because when you compare a container and a VM you find that container is the state of the art technology which is far more advanced than a VM and talking about docker,it is the face of container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

Very much recommended for deploying web services with ease and advance technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had a way to broadcast a request coming into the swarm to all containers if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs to better integrate with third part orchestration tools. Recently kubernetes native integration address this thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There's a lot of great tooling around docker because it's so standardized. Mesos and Marathon, in particular, work quite well with Docker, and Docker hub is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Docker container are enormous, bloated, and slow. A "Hello, World" Node.js container will be upwards of 650MB and take an eternity to build. Also, Docker solves the very easy problem of running an application in isolation but doesn't have a solid story about running a fleet of applications. Also, dangling Docker images cause regular disk space shortages and its tricky to manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

If you're already skilled with Docker or hired someone who is an expert with Docker then I'd say go for it. But learning Docker is a tedious and painful process, and managing it in production without several years' experience is a minefield. Consider whether you really need Docker or you can just build statically linked binaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We just wanted a turnkey solution to run several applications from a GUI, so we adopted Mesos and Docker was the easiest way for us to get started with Mesos. Docker absent Mesos would be pretty useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
