We usually use it to store our artifacts, version them, and use them in production. We use it in CI/CD pipelines. All our R&D uses it as do all our development teams that need to release software. It doesn't matter what, they use it.

Code version control and CICD pipeline. Easy to use.
Great solution to store artifacts
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI is intuitive and have a good set of features to play with and integrate with other tools, I have used other solutions in this pace but this is more close to what we needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think their pricing is bit high compared to others for the feature set they offer but it could be a bit lesss
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Artifact storage, we have continuous deployment to store artifacts programmatically in the centralized location, and we are using this solutin.
Great in theory, lots if issues in practice
What do you like best about the product?
Having all of your different repositories (helm, npm, docker, etc.) in one place is very convenient
What do you dislike about the product?
We have lots of different issues with the system, the documentation is out of date in many places, and the support is just not good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of your different repositories (helm, npm, docker, etc.) in one place
Best End to End CICD platform
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent CICD software which covers lot of features you hardly find in other CI/CD platforms such as Artifactory Storage mechanism & out of the box supported Security scan i.e XRAY. Easier integration with Public cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
Not that i have come across, i feel this platform covers all the aspects of Project Delivery lifecycle
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the main problems is that Security Scans using XRAY to scan for the Vulnerabilities something that i really find best compared to other tools in the market
Jfrog one of the industry leader
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with other platforms, and it's capability in enterprise addition
What do you dislike about the product?
Code promotion can be more mature also the UI needs to get bit better as per other competetior
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us to store the artifacts and also version or artifacts
Probably works great for some artifacts
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is robust, and can handle a huge amount of content with extreme speed. The backend service is outstanding, and we experience virtually no downtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web UI leaves much to be desired. Not very intuitive, and the search function seems to function incorrectly, with no way to see what was done wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to store dependency artifacts. Works very well for storing and retrieving.
J Frog Antifactory Review
What do you like best about the product?
Its a repository manager which we used to support the package management which we update over the code releases.
Its easy to maintain the packages with the version.
Its easy to maintain the packages with the version.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no much dislikes in J Frogs , the only thing is to make the UI User friendly like GIT LAB and GIT HUB,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Package management would be better in JFrog, which i used to package it using conan python package manager.
Security for packages you manage in your Software
What do you like best about the product?
JFrog Xray helps us continuously scan the artifacts/packages cached through a central repository such as maven, npm, docker, NuGet and the packages developers push to Artifactory. It also helps better with License violation checks. Secret detection and IaC Security are added feature that IT teams love about Xray.
What do you dislike about the product?
Insights on Security Vulnerabilities can be divided into the proper sections, and then reports can be prepared. SAST Feature is missing for Application Security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in continuously scanning the artifacts that are pushed to Artifactory and receiving notifications of any vulnerabilities/violations. The reports from Xray are very useful for developers to quickly fix the issues.
A standard container registry
What do you like best about the product?
A docker registry complaint container registry
What do you dislike about the product?
OCI Artifactory is a space where rapid innovation is happening, like the new OCI Artifact spec, supported by major registries like Azure Container Registry. Unfortunately, Jfrog Container Registry is not compliant for the new spec yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps in storing container images and retrieving them.
Save us the time and mundane work of maintaining multiple repositories for different types of artifacts
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
JFrog Artifactory is very essential to us. Without it, we could not use the artifacts, the products that our developers are writing. We would need to maintain a lot of different artifactory repositories in a lot of places. It would be more difficult. You definitely need some kind of artifactory solution. It doesn't necessarily need to be JFrog, but in my opinion, it's better to use it because it's a good, centralized solution. I haven't found any good competitors.
The way to explain to C-suite executives why they should continue to invest in JFrog is that it saves a lot of time and a lot of mundane work that would be required to maintain many solutions that JFrog gives you in one solution.
We don't have to maintain a lot of repositories. We get the same outcome with JFrog with less maintenance. With the SaaS solution, we don't even need to maintain the installation, the server, or whatever infrastructure is around it. There is less involvement in artifactory management.
We don't need to use all kinds of artifactories like Docker Hub or different PyPI repositories for Python. Everything is there and we don't need to pay different companies for all these solutions or to maintain them.
It gives us a good workflow in terms of how we create software because we use it for all of our artifact types. It's good that it's centralized and it helps us in our CI/CD flows, to release software. You don't need to create different scripts or automations to upload different kinds of artifacts to different vendors or repositories. It simplifies our workflow.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts. That is very good.
Also, the fact that you can integrate artifacts with authentication systems, like Active Directory or Okta is valuable.
And for binary management, versioning them, it does a very good job and it gives us a good API to work with.
What needs improvement?
In some of the latest versions of JFrog's SaaS solution, they changed the user interface, the SSO settings, how you interact with them over API, and how you generate tokens. It was very confusing for me. The overall user management is very complicated.
Also, their documentation about how to do things could be better. It was very confusing. I had been using it for a couple of years and then they completely changed how it works—the user and token management.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using JFrog Artifactory for three or four years. I have used it in almost every workplace.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable. I don't think I have had many problems. There may have been some many years ago, maybe, but not something critical.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It scales very well. In a previous company, we used it in a couple of locations globally and it was also an on-premises installation. We used the syncing options for repositories and it worked very well. We didn't have a lot of problems setting it up or using it.
In my current company, we have about 200 users.
We use it all the time. If we have another artifact type to throw in it, we will increase our usage of it. Every new software that we have developed and released has gone to JFrog Artifactory. We're always increasing its use.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is an eight out of 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before JFrog Artifactory, we used all kinds of solutions, like Docker Hub and PyPI, but we didn't have a centralized solution like JFrog.
What was our ROI?
drop database *;
What other advice do I have?
It's very good that they have SaaS and non-SaaS solutions. You can take the SaaS solution and simply use and get support. But for small companies that don't want to invest in paying them for the solution, their free, on-premises solution is very good. It's almost the same as the paid version, minus the support and some features. It's very important that they have both options.
Because we use the SaaS solution, there is no maintenance involved for us. They maintain it. We maintain our versions and artifacts within it, but not the system itself.
Artifact did not affect how long it took us to fix the Log4j issue because our company was part of some cybersecurity companies that detected the breach and we fixed it for ourselves.
I would recommend using it because it's a great tool. Everyone is using it, most companies, as far as I know. It's a very well-known solution. It's a good, centralized solution.
