Eases artifact management and boosts SDLC efficiency with robust vulnerability scanning

When managing Docker images, I find that JFrog Container Registry has very low latency when pushing or pulling images, which is a significant reason we are using JFrog, along with easily configurable endpoints to the application. We don't use the replication capabilities of JFrog Container Registry because we tag different sets of containers for every release. Over the years, I have seen nice improvements to the user interface of JFrog Container Registry, and I hope that more additional capabilities come in the future so that we can keep using this tool. Currently, JFrog Container Registry does not support my AI-driven workloads as we haven't explored that direction yet, but it's a consideration for future purposes. We have plans to increase the usage of JFrog Container Registry in the future as we have other products in the pipeline, and once they complete the MVP phase, we will take the next initiatives. Currently, we only have two endpoints for JFrog, one from AWS and one from Azure. Overall, I would rate JFrog Container Registry an eight.

Has allowed me to build and deploy containerized applications consistently by integrating automated image updates and CI/CD workflows

The features of Red Hat Quay that I have found most valuable include the ability to switch between the previous version and the newer version; this is an extra feature currently added, and I appreciate this feature. Red Hat Quay's automated image building has helped my CI/CD pipeline efficiency by allowing me to store my source code from GitHub and GitLab to my images. It's very convenient, and it automatically stores my images to deploy in the OpenShift application, making it easier to deploy and run the application without any troubleshooting. The positive impacts I have seen from using Red Hat Quay include the ability to change to a newer version and roll back to the older version. This is the only feature I find beneficial, and I can monitor how many people download my images, which I can verify with the analytics provided. The value of geo-replication in maintaining consistent access to container images is significant since I store data in MongoDB and use the Apache Web Server application running in Quay.io, where I store my images.

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 JFrog Container Registry for me has been the X-ray scans because when we ship the product, we need to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities in our application, and X-ray helps us find vulnerabilities in our containers or Helm charts."

"It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP."

"We have integrated JFrog Xray, and we use it for storage purposes."

"It was a good experience with JFrog Container Registry."

"We use the solution to compile the codes before publishing them. We utilize third-party containers and codes, downloading them to the JFrog Container Registry. Developers then access it from the JFrog Container Registry, and there's a specific job responsible for running and validating all security checks, ensuring compatibility. If there are any issues or if packages require updates, we manage those updates through this system."

"I have built an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with JFrog and the registry on Kubernetes, utilizing Jenkins, JFrog X-ray, and more."

"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 Quay's automated image building has helped my CI/CD pipeline efficiency by allowing me to store my source code from GitHub and GitLab to my images, making it easier to deploy and run the application without any troubleshooting."

"It's easy to use, and it does what it is meant for."

"Red Hat Quay's automated image building enhances CI/CD pipeline efficiency because all our applications are deployed through CI/CD pipeline, whether Jenkins or Octopus, and can pull images directly through Red Hat Quay using robot accounts and service accounts."

Cons

"The solution's documentation available over the internet is not straightforward and customer-friendly."

"One challenge we face is related to performance. Our integration involves GitHab and JFrog Container Registry, with pipelines fetching data from GitHub and JFrog Container Registry for third-party code. However, there are instances where this process can slow down the pipeline."

"Pricing, purge of data or historical data, ease of usage, pricing model, setting the current pricing, changes in the configuration so that the pricing can be brought down, and better utilization of JFrog Container Registry are the issues I face."

"In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started."

"It could be more integrated with other platforms."

"Nothing is happening regarding AI. I don’t see the role of AI currently."

"I think Red Hat Quay could improve the security, as users can download the images without a login."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"JFrog Container Registry is a very expensive solution."

"The pricing is somewhat expensive compared to its competitors. We use the Pro version."

"The solution is expensive."
