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.

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

"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."

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

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

"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to download, install and manage."

"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."

"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"

"The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."

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

More Azure Container Registry pros

"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."

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

"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."

"The product is scalable."

"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."

"The solution is stable."

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

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"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."

"They can improve their scalability."

"Lacks the option of having access keys stored in a master key vault."

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

"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."

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

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."

"The solution has become more popular in the last few years but I find that the technical support has not increased their knowledge base, so more knowledgeable support staff can help improve the solution."

More Azure Container Registry cons

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

"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

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

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."

"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."

"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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."

"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."

"Azure is a bit expensive."

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

"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."

"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."

"The solution is overpriced."

"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."

"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."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"My ROI has increased."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"Make sure you read the fine print."
