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

Simple and relatively easy to deploy and maintain.

Secure and stable platform for production use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UCP UI needs a major renovation. UCP API is also stagnated and with limited use cases.

K8S UI is only a "kubectl apply" alternative and lacking any tools for Ops guys, in general I would not recommend it to novice K8S users.

Observability is very limited, integrations with other systems is not well documented (if at all), e.x GitLab, Jenkins-X, Prometheus, ELK, CSI, CNI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's the fastest path to have a working K8S cluster for production use.

Not for novice users, you need to have experience in Docker and K8S to get value out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It relieves the DevOps guys from the burden of maintaining an Upstream K8S platform, it saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Docker is an open source micro service creation and management platform.

Application security: Security becomes a baked in functional property of Docker. If an app is dockerized the probability of other apps that are outside of the container executing remote code is drastically minimized. This ensures that we get application security by default instead of investing time and money into pen testing or code audits.

Infinite scalability: If a web application or backend in dockerized, it can run on a simple low powered device like the raspberry pi to the most high end of servers easily. This ensures that deployment pains are eliminated.

Infrastructure as code: This is the latest paradigm where the entire deployment infrastructure is set in stone as code and committed into version control so that users in the whole organization are are on the same page when it comes to development infrastructure.

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

There is nothing to dislike about docker, I am absolutely love with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Docker does not have any alternatives, so you do not have any other choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me run applications consistently across all working environments, it also enables me to run multiple open source apps without complicated setups and build processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
