Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) Reviews

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.

So far, I have no complaints. I only use the command line version, therefore I cannot comment on any GUI apps.

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.

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.

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

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.

Thank you for your excellent vendor engagement and support for Docker Container Services. We appreciate your business and ongoing support over these past years and the years to come

None that I can think of at this moment, thank you again. We appreciate your business and ongoing support over these past years and the years to come. We look forward to more years of service with you

Container support

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.

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.

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.

Mirantis kubernetes engine makes building and running complex applications easy.

I like the built in security features like network isolation and role based access and control that makes this app reliable and effective.

Wide range of features and capabilities such as separating cluster resources and the easy set up and configurations process is another upside of this platform.

This platform facilitates app deployment, update and management. I can't think of any dislikes so far.

1. portability

2. compatibility (also backward compatibility)

3. compliance and integrations

4. ease of use and speed of implementation “just works”

Managing the resources of kubernetes is superfast and easy.

I see sometimes, the UI is slow to respond and it leads to bore us.

Onboarding and Managing the resources of kubernetes/docker is super fast and easy.

I like that it's easy to create containers, and its interface is flexible and easy to use; plus, there are always updates that improve every feature. I also liked the detailed and complete documentation, making the commands easy to use.

At the moment, only common problems and nothing serious affect the operation.

It solves our problems because it provides a framework compatible with our versions, and we can manage and orchestrate containers, making everything more straightforward and effortless.

It offers a wide range of features and abilities that make it the perfect option for Kubernetes deployments of the highest quality in the industry. Our apps and data are always safeguarded by the platform's built-in security features, such as network isolation and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control).

Although the platform's web-based interface is user-friendly and straightforward, mastering its more sophisticated features and capabilities may still take a fair amount of time and effort. Organizations with limited resources or those without a specialised team of Kubernetes professionals may find this difficult.

Depending on the demands of the workload, we were able to effortlessly add or remove nodes from our clusters using the platform's automated scaling capabilities. This made sure that our applications had access to the resources they required in order to function effectively and consistently.

Docker helps to deploy our apps effectively in a controlled environment, docker also helps our team to deploy Lamba functions on AWS and also build Serverless Application on AWS.

There is nothing to dislike, but sometimes it consumes a lot of computing power sometimes.

Docker is helping day and day out to deploy applications, we use docker containers to run our application on AWS and monitor those docker containers metrics in Newrelic.
