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

* Repeatable deployments

* Ability to quickly try out software made by other 3rd parties without having to deal with an installation process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

* Slow when using with files residing on the host filesystem

* Command line interface is confusing, steep learning curve 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 use Docker for both local development, and production deployments.

When developing locally, it is useful for us as it allows the development environment to closely mimic production execution. However, when using Docker locally with files mounted outside of container things can become untenably slow. This is especially apparent when developing Node apps inside docker, as there will be 1000s of small JS files that have to be imported & watched.

In production, having a single immutable artifact that is the result of a build process helps with repeatability, and diagnosis of issues as the development team can pull the production image from the registry and run it locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Full control over the execution environment of the application

2. You can run tests against the same image that will finally run on the production server.

3. Very easy to maintain environments for the application for the Ops team.

4. You can create several instances of the same environment. Without Docker, it was a main to manually maintain consistent environment on multiple servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Major change for organizations to add this new layer (so think before you jump in)

2. Managing a huge amount of containers is challenging

3. The containers share the same kernel and are therefore less isolated than real VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Its a long process; so do your analysis before jumping in. Its cool to talk about continuous integration/deployment; but its also important to understand is that the right approach for your use case. I have seen companies start and abandon after spending months of effort/money because its hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
