Docker Reviews & Product Details

So easy to standardize setup of a project - just write the docker compose for your whole project for whatever services you have, and you get a single command to bring it all up, down or restart.

Easy to see logs, pin point failures, restart specific services, no hassle of dependency installation, and additionally a cleaner container image with alpine OS builds.

It's just so satisfying and comfortable with docker - I cannot imagine any new project without docker. It just works.

It's easy to install, easy to configure for your project, easy to extend and easy to get support for from reddit, docker forum, or just your colleagues - everyone knows it as much as they know basic programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are issues with docker network and caching that are hard to debug and I wish there was an easier way or a self debugging tool in docker that identified these issues and told us what's exactly going wrong instead of me going in circles try to think what could be wrong.

Mostly it's network or image caching issues but once they're sorted, it's a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker has become a key part of my hosting stack, especially on my Hetzner server managed through CyberPanel. It’s the engine powering services like Vaultwarden for me. I love how easy it is to deploy and isolate containers, and the whole process feels straight to the poin, just set it up, and it runs effortlessly in the background. Updates and maintenance are simple, and I rarely have to think about it once everything’s up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing significant comes to mind. For my needs, especially hosting Vaultwarden and other lightweight tools, it’s been reliable and free of headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of Use: Docker is relatively easy to get started with, especially for developers familiar with command-line tools. The documentation is comprehensive, and tools like Docker Desktop make managing containers even more user-friendly.

Ease of Implementation: Setting up Docker in a project is straightforward. With a well-written Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml, you can spin up complex environments in minutes. However, advanced use cases like persistent storage and networking may require deeper understanding.

Frequency of Use: I use Docker almost daily—whether it's to test apps in different environments, run isolated services, or deploy applications. It’s now a core part of my development toolkit.

Number of Features: Docker offers a robust feature set including image versioning, container orchestration (via Docker Swarm), networking, volumes, and Docker Compose. It supports a wide range of use cases from simple apps to large-scale microservices.

Ease of Integration: Docker integrates well with most development tools, CI/CD platforms (like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), and cloud services. It works seamlessly across operating systems, making it ideal for teams with diverse setups.

Customer Support: While Docker's official support is more geared toward enterprise users, the community is active and helpful. Most issues can be resolved via forums like Stack Overflow or Docker’s GitHub discussions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Docker is that it can become complex to manage at scale, especially when dealing with persistent storage, networking, and orchestration. While it's great for isolated containers, managing large numbers of them without tools like Kubernetes can be tricky. Also, Docker's learning curve can be steep for beginners, especially when troubleshooting container-related issues or dealing with image bloat and dependency management.

What I like best about Docker is how it makes application portable and consistent. I don't have to worry about "it works on my machine" issues anymore. Docker containers let me package everything code, dependencies, environment into one unit, so I can run the same setup anywhere .Its especially helpful when working on multiple projects or with a team. Plus using docker-compose to sign up service like database and APIs together saves so much time and effort during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Docker is that the initial learning curve can be a bit sleep. When I first started, concept like Dockerfiles volumes, networks and container orchestration felt confusing. Also Docker can sometimes use a lot of system resources, especially when if you're not familiar with the command-line took.But once i got used to it , most of these issue became manageable.

What I like best about Docker is how it simplifies the process of setting up consistent development environments. It allows me to package applications and their dependencies into containers, which makes it easy to run the same setup across different machines and teams. This consistency saves a lot of troubleshooting time and makes collaboration much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s nothing significant that I dislike about Docker. It works as expected for my use cases, and any minor issues are usually easy to work around or fix with available documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker’s containerization platform provides consistent environments for developing, shipping, and running applications. Its lightweight containers package applications with dependencies, ensuring identical behavior across infrastructure. The isolation feature allows simultaneous execution of multiple containers without host-environment conflicts. Docker Desktop simplifies local container management through an intuitive GUI, reducing setup complexity for macOS, Windows, and Linux environments.

Integration with CI/CD pipelines and tools like VS Code accelerates build-test-deploy cycles. Swarm orchestrates clusters efficiently, treating multiple Docker hosts as a single entity for streamlined scaling. Security features like secret management and content trust enhance deployment reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default networking setup lacks DNS resolution for containers, requiring manual overrides.

Resource allocation can become inefficient if image sizes aren’t optimized, leading to higher memory consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the versatility Docker offer. It gets blend well with Kubernetes and in runtime I can manage a lot of containers and images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is not so great with windows os. We need to use windows subsystem for Linux.which in terms make it complex to manage dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of docker is the availability of a development environment irrespective of the environment you are working in. You can be using Windows and developing in Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is so perfect that it is tough to find any issues with it. The only problem is that sometimes we see a high memory usage because of this, but that is understandable as it runs a massive chunk of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
