Staple to overcome the "but it works on my machine" issue. Great features including Docker Hub > > **Cons**: Some instances you will take a fair amount of time to setup the and test deployments. > > It has become a staple in my development workflow. I have recommend the software to my entire team and we all are able to work on the same repos not having to worry about firmware and OS requirements. ----- ### "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** | *09 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. ----- ### "De-facto standard for containerization" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *16 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: De-facto standard for containerization. Works well in dev and (when required) simple test environments. > > **Cons**: Only stable enough for production in Linux. We use Windows for our dev machines and while it works, it is slightly flaky\! > > Positive experience. Integrates well with our CI/CD deployment pipelines. ----- ### "Docker the best" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 December 2024* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy way to create images that will work in any platform > > **Cons**: docker desktop since you have to pay for use it > > Docker has been a life-changing in the tech world since it is easier to deploy application and also as a dev I can have den env easily ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/148132/docker?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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
