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 ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) 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 ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) 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

"Amazon ECR has a native integration with all AWS services, making it convenient for use within the AWS ecosystem."
"In the case of Amazon ECR, there are various valuable features we can see. Currently, there are image-scanning capabilities that we use."
"The ECR solution is good. It is integrated with AWS, and it's free. Everything is free, which makes it nice to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning of images for vulnerabilities."
"The integration with AWS services is very easy, and the deployment and initial setup are pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is its ease of use and the centralized management console."
"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 features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"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."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
 

Cons

"Providing more ways to scan the image integrated with ECR would enhance security in the software development life cycle."
"It would be great if they could also provide a reference to fix the errors or vulnerabilities in the images rather than just notifying us about them."
"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."
"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."
"Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."
"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."
"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."
"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)."
"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."
"The setup was not simple."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"They could add more features."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"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."
"The solution is expensive"
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."
"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 product is expensive."
"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."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
