"Robust Container Management with Stellar Integration"

4/5

What do you like best about Red Hat Quay?

I find Red Hat Quay especially useful for managing images across teams and environments. I really appreciate is how well it supports team collaboration. The role-based access control works very well, making it easy to define who can push, pull, or manage images, which helps maintain accountability and prevents accidental changes. The built-in image scanning and security features are particularly valuable as they help identify vulnerabilities early. I also like how smoothly Red Hat Quay integrates with Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. This tight integration makes CI/CD pipelines more reliable and predictable since images can be automatically pulled and deployed without extra configuration. It fits naturally into cloud-native workflows and supports automation without adding unnecessary overhead. The documentation is solid and provides clear guidance, especially when deploying Quay in Kubernetes or OpenShift environments. Basic setup was straightforward. Its built-in vulnerability scanning, role-based access control, and smooth integration with Kubernetes and OpenShift make it especially valuable in enterprise and production environments.

What do you dislike about Red Hat Quay?

Performance and resource usage can also be a concern in some setups, particularly in self-managed deployments. Proper tuning is often needed to ensure smooth performance at scale, which may require additional operational effort. One common challenge is storage and backend performance. Since container images and metadata can grow quickly, the underlying storage system needs to be well-optimized. If storage isn’t configured correctly or scaled in advance, it can impact image availability and response times. Better built-in guidance or recommendations during setup—based on expected image volume and usage—would help prevent these issues early on. Configuring everything properly for real-world use took additional time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning of the container age, the docker hub is the one that helps us to store images and share them inside our organization. But later they brought some limitations and set some features to paid versions.
