We performed a comparison between Docker and Rancher Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"The lift and shift creates a lightweight image."
"I am impressed with the product's independence. We can also deploy it anywhere."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"I think the best feature is to replicate anything in our local machine using a simple command."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Docker packages up an application as a single item that you can then run without the need to install or configure it to work on any specific machine."
"The most valuable feature is Docker has a fast learning curve."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"There are elements of stability that are problematic. One of the most recent upgrades created a major incident on our cloud, whereby the containers were not restarting automatically."
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."
"We'd like knowledge transfer to be easier."
"Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve."
"If you install Docker on a host, it creates its own firewalls. It can become an issue. Usually, when you want to install Docker, you need to restart the firewall or restart the active tables on the machine, but this is not the case with Kubernetes. It uses the default set up by the next administrator, but with Docker, you have to restart the firewall and restart Docker before the firewall on the system will be okay. If you do not the rules will not be created."
"Docker could improve by having more advanced features."
"Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"Could be more intuitive."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
