Streamlined migrations and installations
Pros
- It allowed us to isolate applications so that they did not adversely interact with other applications.
- They served as a virtual machine while we managed the migration to a new OS.
- They helped us decrease malicious attacks because web browsers operating within a container could be terminated if an attack occurred.
- They allowed us to quickly deploy applications across a diverse, global organization.
Cons
- Container access and restrictions were a bit cumbersome to set up.
- We would frequently have users report containers failing to work properly due to file size.
- There was very little documentation we could provide to users during onboarding
Return on Investment
- We were able to migrate to a different OS 50% more quickly than in the past.
- We saw a dramatic decrease in malicious attacks while using this product.
- Our users were able to more quickly get access to the products they needed.
- We no longer needed to worry about applications not playing nice with others since they were isolated
