Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command.""Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable.""The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux.""The scalability of Docker is good.""The most valuable feature of Docker is the dedicated QA environment for connecting the team members. Additionally, there are many core features available and it is highly secure when we are imaging a client's server.""I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms.""The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial.""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."

"We can do a lot of provisioning.""The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs.""The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase.""The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code.""The product integrates well with our infrastructure.""We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to.""The technical support is excellent.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use.""The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box.""Docker could improve by having more advanced features.""I would like to see a single package image orchestration bundled together.""We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability.""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.""Deployment could be quicker.""Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations."

More Docker Cons →

"The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems.""I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage.""I have issues with the product's interoperability.""GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process.""There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network.""Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability.""We need a backup of production clusters.""In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling."
