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 is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it provides a containerized environment. The isolation between the environments is beneficial. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its portability, ease of security management, and low resource usage."
"We are using Docker to host applications."
"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"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."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The security layer is very vulnerable, although they are working to improve the system hardening and email hardening."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"I would like to see better management layers."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"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."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"Could be more intuitive."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
