Fast, secure, and has no downtime; it also has a role-based access feature

I'm not an active Azure Container Registry user, but I faced some issues, which Azure rectified after six months of usage. During the deployment, my company had a multi-stage pipeline, so whenever the team deploys via the Docker run command or generates an image, the issue arises. The problem is that whenever a new image is generated, that new Docker image isn't updated in Azure Container Registry, so that's an area for improvement. As soon as the deployment is over, my team has to go to Azure Container Registry to delete the image and start the pipeline, and only then will the image be updated. The new image isn't reflected in Azure Container Registry after deployment. My team had to take extra steps for the new image to reflect. Before 2020, Azure Container Registry didn't have the option to scan vulnerabilities, as I've heard from my team lead. After 2020, that feature was introduced in the tool, so as long as that feature is available, then Azure Container Registry is okay. I can't think of any other features to add to it in the next version.

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

"It's great for storing images on containers."

"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."

"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."

"Provides secure duplication and the option for service webhooks."

"The portability and elasticity features are the most valuable."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

More Azure Container Registry pros

"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."

"The pricing isn't too bad."

"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."

"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."

"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."

"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."

"The solution is stable."

"The security on the solution is very good."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy."

"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."

"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."

"The setup process is mildly complex. There is no straightforward management platform, so there's a level of complexity to it."

"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."

"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."

"They can improve their scalability."

"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."

More Azure Container Registry cons

"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."

"The solution’s support could be improved."

"Customer service could be improved."

"Lacking in additional PaaS services."

"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."

"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."

"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."

"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is a bit expensive."

"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."

"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."

"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."

"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."

"The product is competitively priced."

"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."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"The subscription cost is too high."

"The pricing is the best."

"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
