it is open-source, available for all major platforms,widely used in industry and supports numbers of light-weight OS to choose from, High speed build and deployments, serverless storage and can be easily implemented and integrated in various major projects, and also the communty support is great.

Documnetation is bit outdated and doesn't always keep pace with platform update, it has steep learning curve and can be hard to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is one of the most useful tools you could use if you're developing hosted applications or you're simply running a headless homelab. As a developer, my work has gotten so organized and easier since I started using Docker. Features like docker-compose have made the integration of web applications with Docker so smooth. Docker is so useful that it has become a day-to-day tool for me even on my local desktop. I usually test all my work inside Docker containers instead of the dev PC.

Pro tip. If you are a new user and you would rather work with a GUI instead of CLI, the first thing you should do is start with Portainer right after installing Docker. Portainer will help you massively when managing Docker containers or swarms/clusters.

The most amazing thing about Docker is that the environment isolation without emulation. I have tested so many applications inside a Docker container that would've destroyed the host system. But since it was merely a container, simple recreation would wipe everything and start over. Docker as a service does not hog any of your hardware resources. Docker implementation on every platform is so easy to use that it only takes a few simple commands to get started. I only wish that tools like Docker were available to me in the earlier days of my web development.

You can take Docker to the next level using QEMU. I use these two in combination with a lot of my CI testing and build processes. Docker can be a godsend if you plan on building your applications for multiple OS and architecture targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know Docker containers are meant to run a single service per container. But sometimes there's the need to run services with systemd which is pretty difficult to achieve with Docker. I have always struggled with this and I wish platform containers would allow this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to quickly spawn an environment with all the tools I need without clogging up my main machine is incredible! I use this all the time when working with large software projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default network Docker provides is missing DNS names for containers. I'm not sure why they make the default network worse than it has to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using docker for more than 6 years and continue using it each day to develop and distribute all my apps, the community around docker is awesome, and there are many ways to integrate with multiple systems like Windows, Linux, or mac. The implementation is so easy using the command line, a few commands and you get Docker installer. I continued using docker and never considered changing it.

To manage containers at scale in production you need additional tools like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm, with can add complexity to the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use and easy to learn and understand And lot of devops engineers like us. We are using Docker to Dockerize everything with. now one click and it will help a lot to launch our application without getting any error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface needs to be improved, and it should be easy to understand the options without making the complexity of this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is just a magic, it helps us a lot in our team as it increases efficiency by automated copying our env configs across all teammates. For example, say a new team member is onboarding, all he needs to do is pull our latest image from the docker hub, run 2 commands and Boom he has exactly what he needs and what the rest of the team is aligned with. In addition no need to worry about inconsistency between developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it pretty complex at first, I'd say Docker is not so beginner-friendly (when operating only via CLI) but as soon you get to know it and work with it daily you quickly adjust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is a platform that allow developers to build, share, and run container applications. It packages software into standardized units called container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker can be resources intensive especially when running multiple containers or large applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Docker’s ability to create consistent, portable environments, making development, testing, and deployment faster and easier across different systems and platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that Docker can be resource-intensive, slowing down systems, and that troubleshooting networking or storage issues inside containers can sometimes be challenging and complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to easily migrate from Jenkins over to Docker due to the straight forward setup and wide variety of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have like to have head more documentation or help topics for any issues that arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is a virtualization software that can help a developer deploy any apps quickly. It has a free tier and paid plan for small companies as well as enterprises respectively. It can easily create a new environment which acts as a container on which we can host our apps or services. It has a great feature which allows multiple developer to collaborate and work together on a solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker works best for console-based applications. However, for applications with rich GUI, Docker might not be the right choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
