Has supported container workflows through fast image handling and seamless service integrations
The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is that we can push and pull faster than other similar products. It means saving and retrieving more efficiently. This is not manual dragging and dropping, but rather programmatic taking and saving. I have used Amazon ECR with Lambda, EC2, and EFS. These are integrable services where you can call Amazon ECR from anywhere in AWS. If my product is not always dependent totally on Amazon ECR only, but if the product is dependent on Amazon ECR only, then having a low time to load, low time to save, and a faster containerizing process time would affect the software's response time. This is important.

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 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 ECR solution is good. It is integrated with AWS, and it's free. Everything is free, which makes it nice to use."
"What I like most about Amazon ECR is that it's swift."
"The most tool's valuable feature is image scanning."
"Amazon ECR provides automated image scanning, which alerts me about vulnerabilities categorized by severity, enabling me to harden images and reduce vulnerabilities before using them in production."
"The solution is very stable."
"One feature of Amazon ECR that I find particularly useful is its web interface, which makes management easy. The ability to manage and support token image updates is crucial for us. Moreover, utilizing load balancers via AWS features allows us to manage all traffic."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure."
"The main feature I value is the ability to deposit and retrieve images."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"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."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
 

Cons

"The Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."
"Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."
"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."
"Its support for system architecture needs improvement."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"Providing more ways to scan the image integrated with ECR would enhance security in the software development life cycle."
"There were some initial connectivity issues, especially when accessing ECR from our on-prem setup."
"One area for improvement in Amazon ECR is its complexity. It's pretty complex for newbies, particularly learning about private repositories, including how to access Amazon ECR through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)."
"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"
"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 product is expensive."
"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"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."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
