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…

Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX
Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Harbor is its security scanning capability."
"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
 

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."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
