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.

The best features of JFrog Container Registry include managing space efficiently when uploading the same files, and it allows me to upload and download using a threaded option for faster transfers than what can be achieved on the network.

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.

While using JFrog Container Registry, one limitation I have encountered is that it would be beneficial to have enhanced capabilities for vulnerability scanning, such as proper categorization of SAST, DAST, and IAST.

The biggest friction point with JFrog Container Registry is sometimes network issues where I am unable to upload files due to frequent locks.

Regarding features I wish it had, if I talk about the free tier provided in one of the smaller organizations that I worked in, I think that was very limited.

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.

Scalability is fair, but not the best. I find cloud-based features to be better in terms of scalability than JFrog Container Registry.

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.
