Helps to store Docker containers and images but deployment can be complex

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. Setting up this product initially does take quite a bit of time, and maintaining it also requires effort. Doing it via command line would be challenging, so I find it easier to manage through the interface.

Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing

We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Docker compatibility that ECR offers is probably the most beneficial aspect of the solution."

"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature is that Amazon ECR is very simple and useful."

"Amazon ECR has a native integration with all AWS services, making it convenient for use within the AWS ecosystem."

"The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is its ease of use and the centralized management console."

"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."

"One feature of Amazon ECR that I find particularly useful is its web interface, which makes management easy. The ability to manage and support token image updates is crucial for us. Moreover, utilizing load balancers via AWS features allows us to manage all traffic."

More Amazon ECR pros

"The security on the solution is very good."

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

"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."

"The pricing isn't too bad."

"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."

"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"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."

"Its support for system architecture needs improvement."

"The Amazon ECR interface could benefit from improvements to enhance user experience."

"The documentation could be improved."

"Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."

"Amazon ECR should improve the integration with Amazon CloudWatch. For example, allowing us to monitor the queues better. Additionally, some of the features could be made more accessible."

"Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."

"There were some initial connectivity issues, especially when accessing ECR from our on-prem setup."

More Amazon ECR cons

"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."

"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."

"There is room for improvement for stability."

"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."

"The setup was not simple."

"The solution is expensive"

"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The solution's price is reasonable compared to its competitors"

"Amazon ECR does not have a high cost."

"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 is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"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."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
