It assumes a base level of knowledge. > > Brand new to it and trying to move from a classic heroku dyno built on a slug to a container approach to overcome memory issues. ----- ### "A Powerful Tool for Streamlined Development and Deployment" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 February 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Docker helps to run the application across the environments and machines. It also supports to scale up the applications and move them across different cloud providers. > > **Cons**: Learning curve of Docker could be deep for beginners with the integration of tools like Kubertness making it a bit challenge. > > Overall experience has been positive in terms of creating and tearing down the environments for testing, development and production environments. ----- ### "Great container architecture. Simple to use if its set up right" — 5.0/5 > **Elliott** | *18 July 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Huge amount of pre-made containers on docker hub both officially and unofficially maintained. This makes it extremely easy to package a piece of software almost any way you want. On top of that there is a free version of the product which is more than enough for most peoples needs. > > **Cons**: The setup can be tricky for newcomers, and the learning curve is average-steep. Once it is set up right I never want to go back to when I didn't use it. > > I work in a design agency as the main dev-ops guy so have to spend time making sure internal staff can set up their dev environments easily. Also works well for handing over code to external clients. ----- ### "Great except for massive space hogging" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *27 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We run a monorepo with a microservice architecture in healthcare and Docker runs our local dev workflow. Docker Compose lets us spin up the whole stack locally so devs can test end to end without needing a cloud environment. Then when we deploy to Azure Container Apps its basically the same containers, so theres very little friction between local and prod. Just clone the repo and docker compose up. > > **Cons**: I have to docker compose prune -a often or else it eats up my entire drive. Today I did it and it freed 500gb. > > Been using Docker for a few years now across multiple projects. Its become a tool I cant imagine working without. ----- ### "Decent container registry services, slow in Singapore, decent price, awesome 3rd party support" — 4.0/5 > **Monica** | *9 June 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the support. Just about every 3rd party vendor supports Docker. The container registry services are good for the most part. Price is good - no issue on price. > > **Cons**: Our docker pulls from Asia Pacific, especially Singapore is really really really slow. I ended up using AWS ECR for that region. > > Overall, Docker is well supported, and for the most part reliable. The price is good. However, docker pulls in Singapore are slow. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/148132/docker?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/148132/docker) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
