Helps to store Docker containers and images but deployment can be complex

If there were a way to use containers as tasks directly, that would simplify things. Currently, when we use EC2 instances, scaling horizontally means increasing the instance count by five times, which might not be cost-effective. Maybe using containers directly for tasks could be a better option. Setting up this product initially does take quite a bit of time, and maintaining it also requires effort. Doing it via command line would be challenging, so I find it easier to manage through the interface.

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications

The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning of images for vulnerabilities."

"In the case of Amazon ECR, there are various valuable features we can see. Currently, there are image-scanning capabilities that we use."

"The technical support services are excellent."

"The most tool's valuable feature is image scanning."

"The solution is very stable."

"The main feature I value is the ability to deposit and retrieve images."

"ECR provides robust security features, including image scanning and vulnerability assessment, supported by AWS identity and access management for fine-grained access control."

"The integration with AWS services is very easy, and the deployment and initial setup are pretty straightforward."

More Amazon ECR pros

"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."

"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."

"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."

"I find the interface to be great."

"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."

"The support is very good. They are giving good support."

"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"Amazon ECR should improve the integration with Amazon CloudWatch. For example, allowing us to monitor the queues better. Additionally, some of the features could be made more accessible."

"There were some initial connectivity issues, especially when accessing ECR from our on-prem setup."

"There is no room for improvement mentioned; it's good as is."

"Amazon ECR should include integration with Docker Hub."

"The Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."

"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."

"If I could use less code and have more of the user interface provide predictions of the coding required in my CLI or Terraform, that would be nice."

"The UI for managing ECR and other services could be improved. It could be user-friendly compared to other cloud services."

More Amazon ECR cons

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"I would like more technical expertise."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company currently has Amazon ECR under the pay-as-you-go model. The tool is more affordable than Azure Container Registry, and it's worth the money."

"The main difference between Amazon ECR and other solutions, like Google Kubernetes Engine, is that I haven't personally used GKE. However, I know that GKE costs around $60 per month, which is quite cost-effective."

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."

"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"

"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."

"The product is expensive."

"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
