What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

I've used MKE (formerly UCP) for almost 7 years now. We use it in Swarm mode and have hundreds of nodes with thousands of containers running. I love that we can have any number of worker nodes and our own internal trusted registry. In general it's fairly easy to use. In its simplest form, you can quickly setup a swarm, deploy services and containers. In terms of bells and whistles, you can get very fine tune with security and setup teams. In terms of customer support, Mirantis has always been helpful when we had issue. One other cool feature is that we can run in a mixed mode. I love the simplicity of swarm with the ability of using secrets, configurations, health checks and simple stack files to deploy services. Compared to Kubernetes in AWS, swarm on MKE is much simpler to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

In the early days, MKE used to have a lot of problems with th gossip protocol. I found myself asking for help only to have Mirantis pull out some magic rethink db commands. The releases over the last two years have really stabilized the product. The biggest challenge for me as an administrator is that some of the operations are very black box. I'd love to see more searchable documentation on the inner workings of MCR and MKE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mirantis allows us to write APIs and containerize the deployments. Using a containerized strategy over a monolothic deployment significantly reduces the risks to deployments. While containers is not a Mirantis concept, Mirantis helps enable a containerization strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

I've used this product back when it was Docker Enterprise for business purposes and haven't really had any complaints. In the start, I did use the non-K8s version more as we were fledgling when it came to containerization and container management, but have evolved. What makes it good is it's a pretty straightforward flavlor of K8s and has just about everything I think most people would want or need. Operation is easy to use and there are no technical hurdles we've faced using it. While I barely use support, support has been helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

So far, I have no complaints. I only use the command line version, therefore I cannot comment on any GUI apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Management and orchestration of multiple containerized services with minimal human intervention. This makes their operations more reliable and reduces human error and time behind the keyboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

The most useful part is the MKE UI. This simplifies the task of running and administering your k8s workload for people who don't like the cli or are new to kubernetes. The installation process is pretty simple and makes the day 2 operations easy for admins. This also comes with good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

The documentation is something I did not like much. The enterprise support portal for mirantis (MKE and MSR) is not that user friendly and can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

an enterprise constantly questions where to run the containerized workload and how to move to kubernetes with less knowledge and experience. I think MKE helps to solve this day 1 challenges of getting a platform to run k8s workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

The initial configuration of containers is easy at first, the editing of the container in question is manageable, the ability to manage alerts within the platform to manage the networks you are working on is another very attractive feature of Mirantis. Software and applications can be managed within the platform, it is very space-saving. Another attractive offering is the ability to manage clusters for cloud services, the software is very robust and capable of balancing workloads, the repositories are fully customizable, the installation and configuration of the service is generally manageable. The environment can be applied to both Windows and Linux operating system, the creation of virtual machines and the handling of container images is really amazing. Options for replicating environments benefit for bug fixes, improving development and debugging issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Some problems in the configuration for Windows 10 and higher environments. The interface despite being easy to configure at the beginning, can be complex to understand, to have access to the best features of the service you have to pay a little high costs. Containers work much better with Linux, I do not recommend its use with Windows. Some stability problems, as well as some applications crashes that we are managing within platform, many errors are not corrected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We implemented Mirantis containers to make applications we developed lighter, which gives better access and allows them to be easier to use, no doubt it is a foolproof solution for complex problems in the area of software management. Workloads stopped being a problem since we implemented Mirantis, it is very organized and everything works, workloads can be easily labeled and allows everything to be more workable within the organization. Currently, we are also implementing the program for microservices development, as it offers excellent solutions in Dockers containers and isolation, scaling and fully balancing the traffic load.
