Featured Reviews

Eli Chavez - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution delivers consistent reliability and high stability
ECR is reliable, however, I don't consider it the best container registry available. The main reason is that it is not entirely based on the original Docker registry. For instance, I prefer Azure's ACR because, in ACR, there is no need to create repositories; I simply push. Logging into the repository and specifying the path automatically creates everything. This structure resembles an S3 setup with a container registry layout.
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 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."
"The main feature I value is the ability to deposit and retrieve images."
"The most valuable feature is that Amazon ECR is very simple and useful."
"The autoscaling functionality is the main beneficial feature of Amazon ECR. It simplifies management, but some configurations can complicate things a bit."
"The most tool's valuable feature is image scanning."
"The Docker compatibility that ECR offers is probably the most beneficial aspect of the solution."
"What I like most about Amazon ECR is that it's swift."
"In the case of Amazon ECR, there are various valuable features we can see. Currently, there are image-scanning capabilities that we use."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
 

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 Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."
"I suggest making it more aligned with the Docker registry version two API specification."
"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"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."
"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
 

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."
"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 solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"
"The solution is free to use."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The pricing is the best."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
