Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The portability and elasticity features are the most valuable.""Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access.""The continuity screen is a valuable feature.""Pricing is reasonable.""One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure.""We like the fact that this is a secure solution, that employs a token-based system, which can be used to manage all the applications under this product.""What I like best about Azure Container Registry is that it's fast. It also has 24 x 7 reliability. I didn't face any downtime issues using Azure Container Registry. I also like how secure the solution is, especially as it's from Microsoft.""The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."

Cons
"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access.""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.""They can improve their scalability.""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 deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy.""We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application.""The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved.""Implementation needs improvement. We have a lot of open, online sources. Doing a deployment is easy for us. The only issue is when we have VPN connections and we try to pull the images from Container images to the local Dockers, it slows down."

"IBM Cloud Container Registry should improve its API management. One improvement factor could be enhancing the integration capabilities of container registries like Harbor with hyperscaler platforms. While some container registries, like Azure Container Registry and IBM Cloud Container Registry, are tightly integrated with their respective hyperscaler environments, others may lack integration options."

    Overview

    Azure Container Registry allows you to build, store, and manage container images and artifacts in a private registry for all types of container deployments. Use Azure container registries with your existing container development and deployment pipelines. Use Azure Container Registry Tasks to build container images in Azure on-demand, or automate builds triggered by source code updates, updates to a container's base image, or timers.

    IBM Cloud Container Registry provides a multi-tenant, highly available, private image registry that is hosted and managed by IBM. You can use the registry by adding a namespace that is private to your account and then push images to your namespace. ... A tag is an identifier of an image within a repository.
