AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) excels in its integration with AWS services, making it a seamless choice for organizations already using the AWS ecosystem. In contrast, Docker is praised for its flexibility and compatibility with various cloud providers, allowing for a more diverse deployment strategy.
  • Reviewers mention that ECR's automatic security updates feature is a significant advantage, ensuring that container images are consistently protected against vulnerabilities. Docker, while offering security updates, does not have the same level of automation, which some users find less convenient.
  • G2 users highlight that ECR's orchestration capabilities are robust, particularly when used in conjunction with Amazon ECS or EKS, providing a streamlined experience for managing containerized applications. Docker, however, is noted for its user-friendly interface and ease of setup, making it a favorite among smaller teams or those new to containerization.
  • Users on G2 report that ECR's scalability is impressive, allowing businesses to handle large volumes of container images without performance degradation. Docker is also scalable but may require more manual configuration to achieve similar results, which can be a drawback for some users.
  • Reviewers say that the quality of support for ECR is generally high, with many users appreciating the extensive documentation and resources available through AWS. In comparison, Docker's support is considered adequate, but some users feel that it could be improved, especially for more complex issues.
  • Users mention that ECR's self-healing high availability feature is a standout, ensuring that applications remain operational even in the event of failures. Docker does not inherently provide this feature, which can lead to potential downtime if not managed properly by the user.

Image size limits are hard limits. Normally this isn't an issue, however it makes it more difficult when you have to upload large images due to uncontrollable situations

The automated image build tools are the main reason this would be worth paying for and they are quite poor. The lack features and development seems to be very slow. Some time back Docker bought up a company making something like this, so perhaps that's...
