Ensures students only have access while on campus but is expensive
It was limited because it was only to support a program. There was some benefits because we didn't have the infrastructure physically, so we would have to buy it. We didn't have to make an investment at the beginning. It has pay-as-you-use pricing. It was good for us. In this Business Intelligence and Analytics program, there are about 15 courses. In 10 courses, they use the cloud infrastructure, different software. They have MySQL database with lots of data. They have to do exercises and and analyze the the data. Basically, they had to do a lot of exercises regarding machine learning. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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.

"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

"Price should be reduced."
"IBM Cloud Container Registry should improve its API management. One improvement factor could be enhancing the integration capabilities of container registries like Harbor with hyperscaler platforms. While some container registries, like Azure Container Registry and IBM Cloud Container Registry, are tightly integrated with their respective hyperscaler environments, others may lack integration options."
"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 product is recommended to enterprises due to its high costs."
