Stores all our artifacts, allows users to manage permissions for their data, and is very stable
We're looking for something that has additional reporting capabilities on data growth and data aging. This goes back to storage lifecycle management so that the actual Artifactory itself can provide these reports to either the administrators or the users. I don't know if it has those capabilities. That's something we have to look into regarding the self-service dashboard, but the tool itself having those capabilities would be great rather than trying to do it at the underlying storage hardware layer. We moved from the internal Derby DB to the Postgres database last year or the year before. Because of the size and amount of objects in our instance, we were probably going to exceed the recommended number of objects for the default Derby DB. So, we moved to Postgres. The other option was MySQL. There weren't a lot of options. It could've been better. I felt that there wasn't a lot of knowledge base or support available to help with that migration for us. We had reached up to Artifactory support to see if they had a professional services type of engagement to do that, and they didn't have anything of that nature. So, we were left to our own devices to manage that database migration.

What is your primary use case for JFrog Artifactory?
The main use case was to store the artifacts, store the binaries, basically. And then we used it as a container registry as well. One of my tasks was to get X-ray running. I got the product running...
