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.

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."

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

"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."

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

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

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

More Azure Container Registry cons

"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."

"The solution is expensive"

"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

"In general, the systems application needs improvement."

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"Azure is a bit expensive."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
