We performed a comparison between Codespaces and Docker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Codespaces' most valuable feature is the repository, which helps the developers to work together. Its data commands are also useful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Copilot and Advanced Security."
"The product allows us to implement feature-related changes or improvements on time. Whenever I write a section of the code or create a new code, it automatically integrates with the former code."
"The lift and shift creates a lightweight image."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it revolutionized virtualization by providing a new approach with containers that completely nullified the time it used to take to deploy applications on virtual servers, resulting in deployment times that can be as quick as milliseconds, unless it is a heavy application, such as Java. Additionally, resource utilization has greatly improved with Docker, allowing for more resources to be allocated to other tasks. These are a few key features that make Docker a preferred choice."
"The initial setup was easy, and you are only required to run commands."
"The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."
"The current version is quite good with our application."
"Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms."
"The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes."
"The product indicates incorrect statistics."
"We get merge conflict errors and need to resolve them."
"The technical support could respond faster."
"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."
"One item that could be improved is the overall stability of Docker."
"There is always room for improvement. I often refer to forums such as StackOverflow to learn from other developers' experiences and the challenges they have faced while using Docker."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"We have found that it is not easy to install it into a Windows system."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve."
"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."
