Fast, secure, and has no downtime; it also has a role-based access feature

I'm not an active Azure Container Registry user, but I faced some issues, which Azure rectified after six months of usage. During the deployment, my company had a multi-stage pipeline, so whenever the team deploys via the Docker run command or generates an image, the issue arises. The problem is that whenever a new image is generated, that new Docker image isn't updated in Azure Container Registry, so that's an area for improvement. As soon as the deployment is over, my team has to go to Azure Container Registry to delete the image and start the pipeline, and only then will the image be updated. The new image isn't reflected in Azure Container Registry after deployment. My team had to take extra steps for the new image to reflect. Before 2020, Azure Container Registry didn't have the option to scan vulnerabilities, as I've heard from my team lead. After 2020, that feature was introduced in the tool, so as long as that feature is available, then Azure Container Registry is okay. I can't think of any other features to add to it in the next version.

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

"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"

"Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access."

"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to download, install and manage."

"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."

"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."

"The solution allows you to isolate standard containers, which is its most valuable feature. Azure Container Registry does what it's supposed to do and gives you visibility into the Docker images, the logs, information on pulling and pushing the data, etc."

"The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."

"It's great for storing images on containers."

More Azure Container Registry pros

"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."

"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."

"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."

"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."

"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."

"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."

"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."

"The pricing isn't too bad."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"The solution has become more popular in the last few years but I find that the technical support has not increased their knowledge base, so more knowledgeable support staff can help improve the solution."

"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."

"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 building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."

"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."

"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."

"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."

"It should be easier to use. It can have more graphical interfaces to manage containers. At present, the handling or management of the containers is very basic."

More Azure Container Registry cons

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."

"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"It could be more affordable."

"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."

"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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."

"Azure is a bit expensive."

"The product is competitively priced."

"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."

"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 licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"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."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

"There is an annual and a subscription option."
