Marek Kubovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Configurations are quite simple with tokens that set folder structure or access levels
The setup was quite easy and not complicated at all. Other setups, changes, or implementations of the token skew are quite simple as well. We have the automation to set up the ACR via the Terraform and also have a graphic user interface that makes it quite easy to create. The setup is rated a nine out of ten.

Sai Balaji Bonagiri - PeerSpot reviewer
Self-hosted and works well in hybrid SaaS environments and automation is fast without any breakdowns
In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started. However, once you gain some experience, working with JFrog becomes much easier. Overall, it's manageable for beginners, but there might be a bit of a learning curve. I'd call myself an intermediate user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"The portability and elasticity features are the most valuable."
"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."
"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"
"One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure."
"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."
More Azure Container Registry pros
"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."
"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."
"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."
"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."
"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 setup process is mildly complex. There is no straightforward management platform, so there's a level of complexity to it."
"The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy."
"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."
More Azure Container Registry cons
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."
"Azure is a bit expensive."
"The product is competitively priced."
"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."
"The solution is expensive."
"JFrog Container Registry is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing is somewhat expensive compared to its competitors. We use the Pro version."
