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

"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."
"One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to download, install and manage."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The solution allows you to isolate standard containers, which is its most valuable feature. Azure Container Registry does what it's supposed to do and gives you visibility into the Docker images, the logs, information on pulling and pushing the data, etc."
More Azure Container Registry pros
"It's easy to use, and it does what it is meant for."
"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."
 

Cons

"The security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved."
"The solution could always improve its security measures with regard to access."
"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."
"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."
"The accessibility of Azure Container Registry also has room for improvement because the solution is not always accessible 24 x 7. I experienced this three times when the service wasn't responding, so I could not push or pull images, and I had to decommission Azure Container Registry and redeploy it."
"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 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
"Nothing is happening regarding AI. I don’t see the role of AI currently."
"It could be more integrated with other platforms."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."

Overview

Azure Container Registry allows you to build, store, and manage container images and artifacts in a private registry for all types of container deployments. Use Azure container registries with your existing container development and deployment pipelines. Use Azure Container Registry Tasks to build container images in Azure on-demand, or automate builds triggered by source code updates, updates to a container's base image, or timers.

Red Hat Quay is a private container registry that stores, builds, and deploys container images. It analyzes your images for security vulnerabilities, identifying potential issues that can help you mitigate security risks.
