### "Do not want to force the PC. Use Docker and feel the lightweight"

May 9, 2019

5.0

In the application that is in development, it turns out that it had a lot of traffic, so that caused it to delay when it was executed, it was concluded to use docker to reduce these times

Pros

Docker complements an application server, it also allows you to guarantee that your application runs on any machine. The containers generated by the docker are lighter than a virtual machine. It is not necessary to install an operating system for each container. Keep in mind that this tool allows developers to improve their capabilities and pass them to production, when it comes to using the methodology of continuous delivery, helps the features have more value by decreasing the number of errors.

Cons

I'm a Windows user and I use your graphic application called Kinematic Alpha. Sometimes I get an error to raise the docker service

### "Docker Review"

September 19, 2023

4.0

Pros

Docker is very portable. It can run on any system regardless of the underlying infrastructure. This makes applications easy to move within different environments.

Cons

Docker can be challenging for new users because it has really complex concepts and commands. A new user might not understand containerization or container orchestration.Image sizes are quite large and may slow down the machine's perfomace.

### "Awesome open source software for reliable automation."

January 18, 2018

5.0

Docker allows us to provision identical instances across our various systems (testing, staging, production, etc.)

Pros

Verifiable Docker files, that allow us to look at what exists within a Docker file. Easy to deploy to a variety of platforms. automated builds through Docker Hub

Cons

Resource management. Difficult to remote manage/monitoring. Containers are crashing some times due to the file system or daemon issue.

### "Container which saves time"

May 20, 2021

5.0

Really satisfied. It made it easy for us creating different environments for different purposes.

Pros

Really powerful instrument which saved hours of time and made continuous development and testing easy for us.

Cons

A bit difficult some configurations. There are lots of pre-configured images but depend on what you need, sometimes you have to configure your own image and you must have some knowledge of linux commands and networking to configure it correctly.

### "Gold standard of container technology"

February 25, 2021

5.0

I've been using docker for a number of reasons from running Linux on Windows, to replicating SDN environments and running tests

Pros

Docker is a game changer when it was first launched. It makes deploying new applications to any OS smooth and quick from development to testing to live.

Cons

There isn't anything worth highlighting here, as I am very satisfied with the usage and installation

### "Docker is great!"

April 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it is to create an image and deploy.

Cons

There are some gotchas that you have to watch out for. Things like /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts are used by docker and therefore make it difficult to add your own custom files.

### "Docker share the microworld "

January 16, 2019

5.0

That is great multi target software which I would definitely recommend to use to simplify the development process.

Pros

I like docker because it allows me to share my current environment with other without difficult instruction how to install all packages.

Cons

It’s hard to properly setup it. And it really tricky to setup port forwarding if I need to use USB connected devices.

### "The best to create Multiprocess app"

March 4, 2020

5.0

In the companywe are migrating an old php app that is only one big product, now we are creating modules, docker is our best tool to do that.

Pros

Very useful to create containers with all the necessary for one software project using dockerhub and all the tolls is easier.

Cons

Learning curve could be a little slow at the beginning to use this tool, probably is the onlycons for me.

### "Optimum Server Efficiency"

April 24, 2019

5.0

Overall, I am very pleased with the way that Docker has improved our environment.

Pros

I like Docker because we are able to visualize services on top of the Docker platform which makes our computing more efficient.

Cons

Can be difficult to understand and learn at first for some. I have mostly a Windows background which made Docker feel a little different and more difficult for me to pick up on.

### "Easy to get started and rewarding to use as you learn more advance features."

January 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy cross-platform development with a consistent runtime environment allows for rapid deployments and confidence in testability.

Cons

Documentation sometimes lacking. Long tail of bugs that go unaddressed for longer periods than desired.

### "Docker will streamline your workflow and plays very nicely with continuous integration tools."

April 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is very easy to install and somewhat easy to use (if you aren't afraid of the command line, that is). It's great for deploying a whole lightweight environment with barely no setup at all. The documentation for Docker is well done as well.

Cons

Creating a dockerfile isn't the most intuitive thing in the world, and you have to do it all by hand on the command line. While some will say that this is a plus rather than a con, I believe that GUI that users could understand might make it easier to use.

### "Piece of software that keeps on giving "

December 5, 2019

5.0

This software has allowed me to develop my projects in sandboxes and granting me peace of mind to experiment without worrying about affecting anything on my host machine. The wide range of publically available containers also helps when I require third party software that requires setup, it's an amazing piece of software.

Pros

The speed increase in setting up projects using this software is incredible and it just keeps getting better. Docker allows you to go through a project setup process once and have that ready for the future, not to mention the wide range of setups publically available.

Cons

The software has a learning curve to it which may be intimidating and could do with some better documentation on the official site.

Over all great took and made my life easy to create docker image and running on ECS.

Pros

The best part of docker is resolving and combining all dependencies and making your application portable.

Cons

I faced issues related to python version 2.7 and 3.7 dependencies library ,while creating docker image.I think this can be improved.

September 26, 2019

5.0

It helped to deploy the different type of environments into one server.

Pros

Big variety of official images beats the boundaries, made very easy to start work on a new environment without installation care.

Cons

It consumes a lot of battery power and CPU. The desktop application works well in MacOS, but not in Windows.

### "Docker Review"

August 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

There is a reason Docker has become such a buzz word in the development community. Docker makes it incredibly easy and fast to spin up multiple applications with little to no overhead. It works great to run every application server and version possible all within your normal operating system.

Cons

The one downside to Docker is that the learning curve can be a little steep especially at first and their documentation isn't the most thorough or easy to obtain what you are looking for. That aspect only adds to the initial drawback. However with persistence and maybe a little help the benefits can most certainly outweigh this one con.

When I get it working how I want it does exactly what I need it to do, perhaps with more use I will find it easier.

Pros

There is so much is can do and so much it can integrate. It is highly recommended in the community.

Cons

### "Docker is a great option for containerized apps"

May 14, 2020

5.0

Overall Docker has been very useful in making it easier to test and deploy applications. There's a somewhat steep learning curve, but once you figure it out it's very handy.

Pros

Docker makes it fairly easy to be able to do container-based app development. By using it you can have the same environment on both your local machine for development and testing, and on your deployed servers. This makes it easy to test and debug your software.

Cons

Docker isn't very intuitive to use. It's somewhat annoying that you have to have the Docker Desktop app running on Mac to use it, and it can be somewhat difficult to figure out how to use features such as shared folders.
