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

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

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

"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 scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."

"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."

"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."

"We like the fact that this is a secure solution, that employs a token-based system, which can be used to manage all the applications under this product."

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

More Azure Container Registry pros

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."

"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."

"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."

"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."

"The pricing isn't too bad."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

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."

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

"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."

"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."

"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."

"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."

More Azure Container Registry cons

"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."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"There is room for improvement for stability."

"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."

"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."

"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."

"The product is competitively priced."

"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."

"Azure is a bit expensive."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"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."

"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."

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
