Eases artifact management and boosts SDLC efficiency with robust vulnerability scanning
When managing Docker images, I find that JFrog Container Registry has very low latency when pushing or pulling images, which is a significant reason we are using JFrog, along with easily configurable endpoints to the application. We don't use the replication capabilities of JFrog Container Registry because we tag different sets of containers for every release. Over the years, I have seen nice improvements to the user interface of JFrog Container Registry, and I hope that more additional capabilities come in the future so that we can keep using this tool. Currently, JFrog Container Registry does not support my AI-driven workloads as we haven't explored that direction yet, but it's a consideration for future purposes. We have plans to increase the usage of JFrog Container Registry in the future as we have other products in the pipeline, and once they complete the MVP phase, we will take the next initiatives. Currently, we only have two endpoints for JFrog, one from AWS and one from Azure. Overall, I would rate JFrog Container Registry an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about Azure Container Registry is that it's fast. It also has 24 x 7 reliability. I didn't face any downtime issues using Azure Container Registry. I also like how secure the solution is, especially as it's from Microsoft."
"It's great for storing images on containers."
"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"Provides secure duplication and the option for service webhooks."
"The geo-replication features of Azure Container Registry are powerful, facilitating alias connectivity and architecture implementation with private endpoints, while the integration with Azure Kubernetes services ensures reliable deployments."
"Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access."
"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"
"Azure Container Registry can be used to detect vulnerabilities in your image."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Container Registry for me has been the X-ray scans because when we ship the product, we need to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities in our application, and X-ray helps us find vulnerabilities in our containers or Helm charts."
"We use the solution to compile the codes before publishing them. We utilize third-party containers and codes, downloading them to the JFrog Container Registry. Developers then access it from the JFrog Container Registry, and there's a specific job responsible for running and validating all security checks, ensuring compatibility. If there are any issues or if packages require updates, we manage those updates through this system."
"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."
"It was a good experience with JFrog Container Registry."
"I have built an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with JFrog and the registry on Kubernetes, utilizing Jenkins, JFrog X-ray, and more."
"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."
 

Cons

"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."
"They can improve their scalability."
"Lacks the option of having access keys stored in a master key vault."
"Implementation needs improvement. We have a lot of open, online sources. Doing a deployment is easy for us. The only issue is when we have VPN connections and we try to pull the images from Container images to the local Dockers, it slows down."
"The setup for Azure Container Registry was a bit complex. Still, the main problem was that whenever a new image was generated, that new Docker image needed to be updated in Azure Container Registry."
"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."
"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."
"The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy."
"In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started."
"One challenge we face is related to performance. Our integration involves GitHab and JFrog Container Registry, with pipelines fetching data from GitHub and JFrog Container Registry for third-party code. However, there are instances where this process can slow down the pipeline."
"The solution's documentation available over the internet is not straightforward and customer-friendly."
"Pricing, purge of data or historical data, ease of usage, pricing model, setting the current pricing, changes in the configuration so that the pricing can be brought down, and better utilization of JFrog Container Registry are the issues I face."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."
"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."
"The product is competitively priced."
"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."
"Azure is a bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"I have no information on how much Azure Container Registry costs. I know it's the only solution my institution can use, so the cost was approved."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is somewhat expensive compared to its competitors. We use the Pro version."
"JFrog Container Registry is a very expensive solution."
