Cons
"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure.""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.""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 security, dashboards, and monitoring system could be improved.""They can improve their scalability.""It should be easier to use. It can have more graphical interfaces to manage containers. At present, the handling or management of the containers is very basic.""The deployment is an area that needs improvement, as it can take some time to deploy.""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."

"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."

    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.

    IBM Cloud Container Registry provides a multi-tenant, highly available, private image registry that is hosted and managed by IBM. You can use the registry by adding a namespace that is private to your account and then push images to your namespace. ... A tag is an identifier of an image within a repository.
