Has supported container workflows through fast image handling and seamless service integrations
The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is that we can push and pull faster than other similar products. It means saving and retrieving more efficiently. This is not manual dragging and dropping, but rather programmatic taking and saving. I have used Amazon ECR with Lambda, EC2, and EFS. These are integrable services where you can call Amazon ECR from anywhere in AWS. If my product is not always dependent totally on Amazon ECR only, but if the product is dependent on Amazon ECR only, then having a low time to load, low time to save, and a faster containerizing process time would affect the software's response time. This is important.

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 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

"The most valuable feature is that Amazon ECR is very simple and useful."
"It is easy to use compared to other container registries."
"There are no issues. The service is remarkably stable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is its ease of use and the centralized management console."
"Amazon ECR provides automated image scanning, which alerts me about vulnerabilities categorized by severity, enabling me to harden images and reduce vulnerabilities before using them in production."
"The lifecycle policies of Amazon ECR help manage storage costs in my project by maintaining version control over the containerized images that we are keeping there."
"There are no issues, the service is remarkably stable, and it's rare to see the registry experiencing downtime unless perhaps AWS itself is completely down."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"It has good scalability."
"From a Kenyan or African perspective, Oracle and Microsoft have a very good footprint across all the countries we operate in."
 

Cons

"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."
"Amazon ECR should improve the integration with Amazon CloudWatch. For example, allowing us to monitor the queues better. Additionally, some of the features could be made more accessible."
"If I could use less code and have more of the user interface provide predictions of the coding required in my CLI or Terraform, that would be nice."
"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."
"Amazon ECR's manipulation capability of tags needs to be improved."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"The Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."
"I would appreciate a feature in Amazon ECR that allows direct image downloads from open source into ECR, bypassing the current need to first pull the image to my server."
"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"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."
"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."
"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is free to use."
