Cloudsmith is a great alternative for open source projects
What do you like best about the product?
We use Cloudmith to host our open source builds for Vespa.ai. The service has proven reliable and is easy to use for our current purpose. Functional REST api makes it flexible in the way we can choose to integrate with Cloudsmith.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see better machine to machine integration instead of using API tokens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone that produce software need some kind of distribution mechanism. There are several vendors in this space that offer such products, but Cloudsmith is one of the most complete ones in terms of package format support. For our open source project at Vespa.ai (https://github.com/vespa-engine/vespa) Cloudsmith was the only one that could offer a free tier and support container registry, Maven repository and RPM repository. For our open source project Cloudsmith generously provides 50GB of storage and 200GB of transfer each month.

Although the webui is not great, the overall product is functional
What do you like best about the product?
We can upload, download and delete packages. I like the way we can easily have different repositories and access them with the same TOKEN. Although, I would've prefered to not include that info in the URL. The webui is really simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searching for packages should be really easy to do but at the moment, it's painfuly slow. I thought it could be related to peaks but unfortuntelly I was wrong.
There are 2 different scripts to install CS repos. One for debian and another for redhat alike distros. That, IMO, is confusing. The detecction phase should be done by this single missing script.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to host all of our repositories on our own and we can manage them with ease
Comprehensively solves very current problems
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup an account and setup a first implementation/integration. Amazing support and features that solve issues many don't even realise are problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Was built for a specific usecase, and while flexible, it may take more effort to work arround issues present (at time of review) in the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing dependencies is difficult, security scanning these consistently is difficult. Cloudsmith makes it easy.
Cloudsmith great for managing python packages
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith has great CLI capabilities - we have Makefiles and scripts that run Cloudsmith CLI commands, and help us to quickly build, compile, and upload new versions of packages to Cloudsmith. We frequently have to build and update versions, so the CLI makes that easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The two-factor authentication method I have with Duo requires me to find a code, and type it in.
It'd be nice if like some other apps, it allowed me to get a push notification and just click approve, instead of having to go and find the code and type in 6 characters.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudsmith solves the problems of have a central package management system for us, where we can quickly build and upload new versions of packages, for multiple languages. We use Cloudsmith for multiple languages at my company - personally I've only use it for Python packages for my team, and it allows me to quickly upload versions of packages and download and use them in other repositories that rely on this package, so that we can modularize code and share it across repos easily.
It's awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith is a great option for private npm repos. Works well to have a private npm repo on Cloudsmith associated with an npm scope.
It's easy to set up. It's flexible. I like how there's unlimited users, but charged on disk space. That makes it very cost-effective for small teams.
Customer support is generally responsive. I've used Cloudsmith in 2 companies now - in my previous company they went above and beyond for a few issues I had.

What do you dislike about the product?
We hit a few issues with rate limits in CI, but worked around them.

Private npm hosting
A powerful tool for almost every workflow in software development
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith makes working with private repositories for all kinds of tech stacks easy. It is easy to setup and somewhat fast to get used to. We use it almost daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we still get some issues with stuff that was already working. It just stops working for an hour or two and works after a while again. Sometimes, integration into a new project can be a bit fiddely but you get used to all the different methods eventually.
I also had to regenerate my api key twice because everything broke. It was an easy fix, though.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to access, integrate cloud storage which is ready to use for common tech stacks like docker or npm.
Great artifact manager
What do you like best about the product?
The support team genuinely care about helping our business succeed.
The multi format repository concept makes it very very easy to use.
Cloudsmith is a genuine cloud native SaaS product, not an on-prem product deployed to cloud like some of its competitors, so the speed it achieves at scale is truly impressive.
Implementation was trivial as it supports native tooling in all the formats it supports.
Similarly integration is very easy because of their "native first" approach.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing unhelpful about Cloudsmith.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a place to keep an indelible record of the software we produce.
The future of Artifactorys
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to listen and the willingness to understand your challenges and how Cloudsmith can alleviate those pain points.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downsides had nothing to do with Cloudsmith its a refreshing example of a next generation artifactory that I wish my clients would use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudsmith is truly the future of Artifactorys allowing you to store Terraform modules, Container images, dependencies, tool dependencies for example the IBM ACE toolkit which is 1.7GB and this is to just mention a few. There were no limitations around our use case.
Lifesaver after JFrog artifactory was decommissioned
What do you like best about the product?
Great documentation, outstanding support and a product that speaks for itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of in particular
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After JFrog BinTray was retired, we were scrambling to find a new home for our Java-based artifacts that can be easily uploaded and retrieved. Cloudsmith fit that need perfectly.
Very responsive and gets the job done for artifact management
What do you like best about the product?
The value is perfect for our needs. Other products overcharge for what we use as a basic artifact management product with private settings also. The team has been extremely responsive to any issues we may encounter.

What do you dislike about the product?
This was a forced migration from Bintray and Cloudsmith met most of the requirements, however it did not meet all. There are a few areas we had to write some custom code to handle, but nothing too onerous, and they provide an extensive API to accomplish that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a product that can host artifacts, and especially handle artifacts that need to be gated so that they are only accessible to paying customers. Cloudsmith meets that requirement.
