Likelihood to Recommend [Mirantis Cloud Native Suite (Docker Enterprise)] is the most advanced tool till now, which works as a VMs and separates any single application from the dependencies. Also, this tool is helping me in the agile development of the processes. It is strongly recommended to almost all major organizations.
Read full review Have great user interface for new developers to adopt
Kubernetes than a plain vanilla
Kubernetes cluster. cluster management is getting easier and easier in each new version cost needs to be optimized to provide a competitive rate compared to other
Kubernetes options in the market More approved / certified operator for other tools like New Relic will be great.
Read full review Pros Containers - Docker is the go-to when using Containers, which are super useful if you need an environment that works both for Windows and Linux Efficiency - Docker is very lightweight and doesn't demand too much from your CPU or server CI/CD - Docker is excellent for plumbing into your build pipeline. It integrates nicely, is reliable, and has an easy set up. Read full review Obviously, it does container orchestration very well because it's the main purpose of the product. Creating routes has been very easy with the product, creating accessible routes, managing quotas, managing our workspace and our workload has been very efficient with this as well as managing our horizontal scalability. Read full review Cons Containers are often opaque - if a container doesn't work out of the box, it's messy to fix. Logging is complexified by the multiple containers and logs are often not piped to places you expect them to be. Networking is complexified due to internal port mapping between containers, etc. Read full review Because of how different virtualization is done, there is a learning curve to overcome when switching to it from another hypervisor. Documentation needs to be improved. Just finding the details to set it up is a burden that will keep some people using it. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Leverage OpenShift Online constantly at both the free and paid tiers. While AWS is convenient, it often brings more administration than I want to deal with for a quick application (i.e. Drupal or Wordpress blog). OpenShift also simplifies the DNS registration and ability to share application environments with team members
Read full review Usability Docker's CLI has a lot of options, and they aren't all intuitive. And there are so many tools in the space (Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, etc) that have their own configuration as well. So while there is a lot to learn, most concepts transfer easily and can be learned once and applied across everything.
Read full review As I said before, the obserability is one of the weakest point of OpenShift and that has a lot to do with usability. The Kibana console is not fully integrated with OpenShift console and you have to switch from tab to tab to use it. Same with Prometheus, Jaeger and Grafan, it's a "simple" integration but if you want to do complex queries or dashboards you have to go to the specific console
Read full review Performance During our peak season (holiday season October-January), when our loads on high-traffic weekends were up significantly, OpenShift reliably held its ground and adjusted to the spikes perfectly. We saw no disturbances or slowdowns in any of the applications, and our customers were able to buy what they needed during their holiday shopping with no disruptions.
Read full review Support Rating The community support for Docker is fantastic. There is almost always an answer for any issue I might encounter day-to-day, either on Stack Overflow, a helpful blog post, or the community Slack workspace. I've never come across a problem that I was unable to solve via some searching around in the community.
Read full review Their customer support team is good and quick to respond. On a couple of occassions, they have helped us in solving some issues which we were finding a tad difficult to comprehend. On a rare occasion, the response was a bit slow but maybe it was because of the festival season. Overall a good experience on this front.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We've used XAMPP, PHPmyAdmin and similar local environments (our app is on PHP). Because of how easy you can change the configuration of libraries on PHP and versions (which is SO painful on XAMPP or other friendly LAMP local servers) we are using Docker right now. Also, being sure that the environment is exactly the same makes things easier for developing.
Read full review From what I remember of Pivotal Cloud Foundry/Tanzu, OpenShift has a lot more features. Ultimately, our team went with OpenShift. After trialing multiple providers, we decided OpenShift was the best experience. We also had more confidence in Red Hat.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model It's easy to understand what are being billed and what's included in each type of subscription. Same with the support (Std or Premium) you know exactly what to expect when you need to use it. The "core" unit approach on the subscription made really simple to scale and carry the workloads from one site to another.
Read full review Return on Investment Docker has made it possible for us to deploy code faster, increasing the productivity of our development teams. Docker has made it possible for us to decentralize our build and release system. This means that teams can deploy on their own schedule and our dev ops team can concentrate on building better tools rather than deploying for the teams Docker has allowed us to virtualize our entire development process and made it much simpler to build out new data centers. This, in turn, is significantly increasing our ROI by providing a path forward for internationalization.
