What do users say?

Generated using AI from real user reviews
Users consistently praise Docker for its ability to create consistent environments across different systems, which significantly reduces deployment issues. The platform's ease of use in packaging applications with all dependencies into containers streamlines development and testing processes. However, many note that it can be resource-intensive, particularly when running multiple containers.

"best containerization platform available for development and production deployments"
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

No need to worry about environment specific issues, easy to develop, test, and deploy applications across different systems and servers. Easy to connect containers with each other through virtual networks and easy to implement in cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Docker makes it easy to prototype, develop, and test various software and application packages."
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

The ease and speed in which it takes to fire up and run applications. Its also very easy combine multiple docker containers into useful stacks. For example you can fire up a VPN docker container, an authentication container, and then a web application container and link them together so that all the traffic sent to the application is protected by an authentication layer with all traffic running through a VPN. If you decide to switch one application out for another later on it makes that very easy too. Countless hours troubleshooting the interoperability of applications is avoided.

What do you dislike about Docker?

It can be a bit of a learning curve if you are used to running everything on a baremetal server but the learning curve is worth it for the time saved later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best program for containerized applications"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

Docker allows you to run programs in 'containers', which allows for applications to easily be expanded, replaced, and reset. It's an essential tool that every developer should be using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

IPv6 support within Docker's virtual network is very lackluster. It is not worth the effort of getting it to work, and is not properly supported. While this may not be an issue in most situations, it is a major gripe in the places where it matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Docker seems to solve many of my problems"
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

Docker has literally solved a lot of my headaches like earlier we had the issue of softwares not being able to run on other systems but only one. But with Docker we can run anything on any computer which saves a lot of time. Also its scalability is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

Docker has solved many of the issues I faced while working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential tool to master for professional software engineers"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

One of the nice things about docker is that in the basic form it is pretty simple and easy to use, assuming you get a good image, you can easily use Docker to get an app up and running with very few stepa, so that makes it very easy to implement if you combine it with a cloud based docker hosting service. I'm essentially using it every day in various forms from running it at home to keep my home automation, game and print servers sperated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

One of the things about Docker is that it's pretty minimal in itself, the basic features are there, but then there's a world of additionally complicated tools to get involved, like Kubernetes and nginix to create more advanced configurations. That makes it soetimes difficult to implment if you're just getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Docker best for Bundling in software developments!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

The best thing about docker is that its functions for package builds. As a developer, it has helped me transfer my files more efficiently by containerising them. It also has excellent help availability within the command lines. The documentation is also straightforward to understand and apply. Its versatility with various engines in development purposes makes it stand out from its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

At the start of installing and running the docker software, it has become an issue while running that it shows an error; although it gets solved irritates developers. It would be great if they looked into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with Docker"
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

Docker a platform with which I can containerize my application easily it works cool with windows Linux and mac .My web app works on my machine and it works cool on my friends machine as well, only thing they need to do is that they need to run the docker image of my app that I had build and shared . It also provides volumes, networking through which containers can communicate with each other. It also has large registry called docker hub where all official images are stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

Docker has only a single point of failure called Daemon server which means the commands that I run my CLI were executed by daemon server . If that fails there is no alternative like podman. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything working on everyone's machine"
5/5
What do you like best about Docker?

Its main functionality which is to simulate the best environments for a piece of code to run. If I can set up the right docker container that the author intended, I do not have to set up anything else. It removes the need for complicated setup instructions in many scenarios. The CLI is automatically configured to use the most popular CLI registry so I do not have to specify URLs.

The CLI can also be configured to work with ACR's CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker?

The number of image pulls a day is limited on the free plan, unlike Podman.

It is a bit complicated to set up a local registry for machines with large storage.

Sometimes, the platform error it gives on MacOS can be misleading for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
