Rikin Parekh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
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 Docker compatibility that ECR offers is probably the most beneficial aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable aspect of ECR is its user-friendliness."
"There are no issues. The service is remarkably stable."
"Amazon ECR has a native integration with all AWS services, making it convenient for use within the AWS ecosystem."
"The most tool's valuable feature is image scanning."
"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 technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning of images for vulnerabilities."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 UI for managing ECR and other services could be improved. It could be user-friendly compared to other cloud services."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"There were a few issues related to the roles, policies, and retrieval of data when trying to fetch images for deployment on Amazon ECS. This can involve permissions and configuration complexities."
"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."
"Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."
"Providing more ways to scan the image integrated with ECR would enhance security in the software development life cycle."
"I suggest making it more aligned with the Docker registry version two API specification."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"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 pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"The solution is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
