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.

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.

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

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."

"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."

"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."

"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."

Cons

"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's manipulation capability of tags needs to be improved."

"There could be improvements to the interface of AWS concerning ECR."

"If I could use less code and have more of the user interface provide predictions of the coding required in my CLI or Terraform, that would be nice."

"Amazon ECR should include integration with Docker Hub."

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

"Deeper integration with other security tools would enhance usability."

"The documentation could be improved."

More Amazon ECR cons

"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."

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

"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."

"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."

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

"The solution’s support could be improved."

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."

"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
