Gives better flexibility in your day-to-day work and visibility into the images, logs, and information on data push and pulls
From time to time, I've noticed some hiccups in Azure Container Registry. For example, the solution didn't work thrice, and the only solution Microsoft provided was to update Azure Container Registry. I've noticed that the IP address attached to the machine changed in the end. The solution doesn't always work perfectly, so from time to time, you cannot pull or push the Docker images to the environment, which is an area for improvement. The only solution to this issue is to establish one more Azure Container Registry and attach the new IP address and DNS name to it. The accessibility of Azure Container Registry also has room for improvement because the solution is not always accessible 24 x 7. I experienced this three times when the service wasn't responding, so I could not push or pull images, and I had to decommission Azure Container Registry and redeploy it. The only good thing is that I already have the infrastructure as a code, which makes it easier for me to set the solution up and create the environment from scratch. Still, the process will be annoying for people with manual operations around Azure Container Registry, mainly because the issue happens from time to time. The only functionality I want to add to the service is the auto-scanning of images, which should tell me if there's any issue with the Docker images I need to address. The JFrog Artifactory has this functionality, but it would be an excellent feature to add to Azure Container Registry to scan the Docker images and check for possible vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The portability and elasticity features are the most valuable."
"It's great for storing images on containers."
"One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure."
"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."
"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."
"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."
"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."
"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."
"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."
"They can improve their scalability."
"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."
"Lacks the option of having access keys stored in a master key vault."
"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 solution's documentation available over the internet is not straightforward and customer-friendly."
"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."
"In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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