Featured Reviews

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."
"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"It's great for storing images on containers."
"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."
"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."
"Provides secure duplication and the option for service webhooks."
"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."
"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."
"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."
"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."
 

Cons

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."
"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."
"The setup for Azure Container Registry was a bit complex. Still, the main problem was that whenever a new image was generated, that new Docker image needed to be updated in Azure Container Registry."
"They can improve their scalability."
"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."
"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."
"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."
"In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The product is competitively priced."
"JFrog Container Registry is a very expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is somewhat expensive compared to its competitors. We use the Pro version."
