Featured Reviews

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.

"It is easy to use compared to other container registries."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The main feature I value is the ability to deposit and retrieve images."
"There are no issues. The service is remarkably stable."
"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 is that Amazon ECR is very simple and useful."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is its ease of use and the centralized management console."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."

"The support is very good. They are giving good support."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."
"Amazon ECR should include integration with Docker Hub."
"Its support for system architecture needs improvement."
"The UI for managing ECR and other services could be improved. It could be user-friendly compared to other cloud services."
"There were a few issues related to the roles, policies, and retrieval of data when trying to fetch images for deployment on Amazon ECS. This can involve permissions and configuration complexities."
"There is no room for improvement mentioned; it's good as is."
"I suggest making it more aligned with the Docker registry version two API specification."
"Amazon ECR's manipulation capability of tags needs to be improved."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's prices are high in India as compared to the US."
"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."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"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. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
