Eli Chavez - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution delivers consistent reliability and high stability
ECR is reliable, however, I don't consider it the best container registry available. The main reason is that it is not entirely based on the original Docker registry. For instance, I prefer Azure's ACR because, in ACR, there is no need to create repositories; I simply push. Logging into the repository and specifying the path automatically creates everything. This structure resembles an S3 setup with a container registry layout.
Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
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 of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure."
"What I like most about Amazon ECR is that it's swift."
"The autoscaling functionality is the main beneficial feature of Amazon ECR. It simplifies management, but some configurations can complicate things a bit."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is its ease of use and the centralized management console."
"The most valuable feature is that Amazon ECR is very simple and useful."
"The main feature I value is the ability to deposit and retrieve images."
"The most valuable aspect of ECR is its user-friendliness."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"It's very easy to use it. It's very hard to configure, but it's very easy to use."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
 

Cons

"Amazon ECR's manipulation capability of tags needs to be improved."
"One area for improvement in Amazon ECR is its complexity. It's pretty complex for newbies, particularly learning about private repositories, including how to access Amazon ECR through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)."
"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."
"There were some initial connectivity issues, especially when accessing ECR from our on-prem setup."
"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."
"The Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."
"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 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."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"
"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."
"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"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."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"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."
