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.
PuneetKaura - PeerSpot reviewer
Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing
We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning of images for vulnerabilities."
"The integration with AWS services is very easy, and the deployment and initial setup are pretty straightforward."
"The Docker compatibility that ECR offers is probably the most beneficial aspect of the solution."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most tool's valuable feature is image scanning."
"What I like most about Amazon ECR is that it's swift."
"The most valuable aspect of ECR is its user-friendliness."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
 

Cons

"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."
"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."
"Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."
"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."
"There is no room for improvement mentioned; it's good as is."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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 monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"It could be more affordable."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"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."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"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."
"My ROI has increased."
