Enhance security with automated vulnerability detection and private registry support
We use Harbor for Docker containers to build from our GitLab CI/CD pipeline. This pipeline then automatically pushes to our Harbor instance. We are still working on storing Helm charts in the Harbor instance as well Harbor has improved our organization's security and stability in our container…
Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
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 most valuable feature of Harbor is its security scanning capability."
"Right now this is the leading product in this category."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is a need for more support for public repositories, like the Google Cloud GTR, which is not as integrated as desired."
"The product should integrate better with other storage options."
"The GUI needs to improve."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the product is free."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The solution is free to use."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
