Geo-replication and reliable deployments with private endpoints streamline our integration processes
We are using Azure Logic Apps in our integration, in addition to Azure Container Registry The geo-replication features of Azure Container Registry are powerful. They facilitate alias connectivity and architecture implementation with private endpoints. The integration with Azure Kubernetes…

Eases artifact management and boosts SDLC efficiency with robust vulnerability scanning
When managing Docker images, I find that JFrog Container Registry has very low latency when pushing or pulling images, which is a significant reason we are using JFrog, along with easily configurable endpoints to the application. We don't use the replication capabilities of JFrog Container Registry because we tag different sets of containers for every release. Over the years, I have seen nice improvements to the user interface of JFrog Container Registry, and I hope that more additional capabilities come in the future so that we can keep using this tool. Currently, JFrog Container Registry does not support my AI-driven workloads as we haven't explored that direction yet, but it's a consideration for future purposes. We have plans to increase the usage of JFrog Container Registry in the future as we have other products in the pipeline, and once they complete the MVP phase, we will take the next initiatives. Currently, we only have two endpoints for JFrog, one from AWS and one from Azure. Overall, I would rate JFrog Container Registry an eight.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is one of the safest private repositories over the cloud that I have, that I can use."
"Azure Container Registry can be used to detect vulnerabilities in your image."
"Provides secure duplication and the option for service webhooks."
"It's running behind a big financial and legal customer, who runs Service Fabric behind a front door, servicing local banking containers on an ISV solution developed internally."
"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."
"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access."
"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."
"I have built an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with JFrog and the registry on Kubernetes, utilizing Jenkins, JFrog X-ray, and more."
"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."
"It was a good experience with JFrog Container Registry."
"JFrog Container Registry helps me fetch specific packages and serves as a source of truth for various JAR files, Node Package Manager packages, and Docker images."
"We use the solution to compile the codes before publishing them. We utilize third-party containers and codes, downloading them to the JFrog Container Registry. Developers then access it from the JFrog Container Registry, and there's a specific job responsible for running and validating all security checks, ensuring compatibility. If there are any issues or if packages require updates, we manage those updates through this system."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Container Registry for me has been the X-ray scans because when we ship the product, we need to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities in our application, and X-ray helps us find vulnerabilities in our containers or Helm charts."
"The best features of JFrog Container Registry include managing space efficiently when uploading the same files, and it allows me to upload and download using a threaded option for faster transfers than what can be achieved on the network."
 

Cons

"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"Lacks the option of having access keys stored in a master key vault."
"The setup process is mildly complex. There is no straightforward management platform, so there's a level of complexity to it."
"They can improve their scalability."
"While downtime is uncommon, there are occasional server errors like '404 not found' and '504 server not found'. Viewing server logs is not a reliable approach, and improving log visibility would help in troubleshooting efficiently."
"From a user's perspective, technical support is quite lacking without a support plan. Support staff often don't respond to technical queries, forcing users to rely on forums for help."
"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."
"It should be easier to use. It can have more graphical interfaces to manage containers. At present, the handling or management of the containers is very basic."
"Regarding features I wish it had, if I talk about the free tier provided in one of the smaller organizations that I worked in, I think that was very limited."
"The biggest friction point with JFrog Container Registry is sometimes network issues where I am unable to upload files due to frequent locks."
"While using JFrog Container Registry, one limitation I have encountered is that it would be beneficial to have enhanced capabilities for vulnerability scanning, such as proper categorization of SAST, DAST, and IAST."
"Pricing, purge of data or historical data, ease of usage, pricing model, setting the current pricing, changes in the configuration so that the pricing can be brought down, and better utilization of JFrog Container Registry are the issues I face."
"The solution's documentation available over the internet is not straightforward and customer-friendly."
"One challenge we face is related to performance. Our integration involves GitHab and JFrog Container Registry, with pipelines fetching data from GitHub and JFrog Container Registry for third-party code. However, there are instances where this process can slow down the pipeline."
"Scalability is fair, but not the best. I find cloud-based features to be better in terms of scalability than JFrog Container Registry."
"In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."
"The product is competitively priced."
"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."
"Azure is a bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"I have no information on how much Azure Container Registry costs. I know it's the only solution my institution can use, so the cost was approved."
"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is somewhat expensive compared to its competitors. We use the Pro version."
"JFrog Container Registry is a very expensive solution."
