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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Provides secure duplication and the option for service webhooks."
"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access."
"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
 

Cons

"The setup process is mildly complex. There is no straightforward management platform, so there's a level of complexity to it."
"They can improve their scalability."
"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."
"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."
"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."
"The solution has no areas that need improvement."
"The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"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."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"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."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure is a bit expensive."
"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."
"The product is competitively priced."
"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."
"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."
"The solution is overpriced."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
