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.
SunilkumarSivan - PeerSpot reviewer
Pretty user-friendly, efficient user management and continuously updated with new versions
It's pretty user-friendly. It's operator-based, and there's no complication in setting it up. Things like downloading an image, pulling an image, tagging, and pushing it back to the needed organization are fairly easy compared to doing things through the command-line interface. Red Hat is constantly improving its product. Every new version rollout comes with updates that enhance performance. One example is that we used to experience issues when clicking on a repository if we had thousands of them in the registry. In the latest versions, those things have been taken care of.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"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."
"Specific tokens can be used to set folder structure or restrict things like read or write access."
"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to download, install and manage."
"The continuity screen is a valuable feature."
"One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure."
"It's great for storing images on containers."
"Things like downloading an image, pulling an image, tagging, and pushing it back to the needed organization are fairly easy compared to doing things through the command-line interface."
"It's easy to use, and it does what it is meant for."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."
"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."
"Implementation needs improvement. We have a lot of open, online sources. Doing a deployment is easy for us. The only issue is when we have VPN connections and we try to pull the images from Container images to the local Dockers, it slows down."
"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."
"The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy."
"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."
"It could be more integrated with other platforms."
"Nothing is happening regarding AI. I don’t see the role of AI currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."
"The product is competitively priced."
"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."
"Azure is a bit expensive."
