We performed a comparison between Docker and Rancher Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Docker is that it revolutionized virtualization by providing a new approach with containers that completely nullified the time it used to take to deploy applications on virtual servers, resulting in deployment times that can be as quick as milliseconds, unless it is a heavy application, such as Java. Additionally, resource utilization has greatly improved with Docker, allowing for more resources to be allocated to other tasks. These are a few key features that make Docker a preferred choice."
"I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"It is neat and very flexible."
"The tool helps us in code versioning. I think it's pretty much easy to use and very straightforward. Even if someone is new to the tool, they can easily start using it with a little guidance or theoretical knowledge. Go through the tool and start using it without much struggle."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives you the same environment as on a developer machine as well as a production machine relevant to specifications."
"I am impressed with the product's independence. We can also deploy it anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is Docker has a fast learning curve."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
"The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important."
"There is always room for improvement. I often refer to forums such as StackOverflow to learn from other developers' experiences and the challenges they have faced while using Docker."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"Sometimes, it can become heavy and cause performance issues."
"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."
"The product does not have an extensive documentation. The tool does not have good scenarios. We have to go through the GitHub repository and investigate similar scenarios. Also, if you are copying multiple things, then you can jeopardize the copy number. The copying aspect also lacks a UI part. We also need to limit the memory."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
