Since we started using JFrog Artifactory, we no longer manage our own server just to keep source code and binary code, as all our binary repositories are in JFrog Artifactory, making it a very good repository manager where we can store all our artifacts in one easily accessible place without worrying about downtime or application unavailability, while also providing a proxy for remote applications that has transformed our release process to be faster.

As for specific outcomes about the positive impact from expanding to four or five verticals, we have achieved faster deployment speeds, faster time to market, and lower pipeline failure rates.

The best features JFrog Artifactory offers are a unified store for our builds, Docker, and everything, and its integration into CI/CD, which is quite smooth for us as we are using it across several different repositories and two different package types including Go and Java Spring Boot.

JFrog Artifactory has definitely impacted our organization in a positive manner, as approximately 20,000 people or 20,000 pipelines use it on a day-to-day basis and most of the time it saves time because it is very fast, with tools, services, and features that are really brilliant and no other tool can match.

The core functionality is most valuable for indexing and metadata of all the artifacts, but within the last year or two, we've been using the Projects feature, which has been very helpful. We can now assign individual admins for different projects and repos so that they can self-manage their own user permissions for their data. My IT DevOps team doesn't have to be the facilitators of that. It's now more of a self-service capability for them.

However, because of the sheer size and magnitude of artifacts that end up getting stored on JFrog Artifactory, the tool tends to be bogged down and most of the functions also get bottlenecked because of that.

Currently, JFrog Artifactory doesn't have AI features, which is an area they could update in the future.

Although JQL is a great tool, I have noticed that JQL queries can be hard to learn.

I choose a nine out of ten because, as mentioned in my previous answer, it sometimes faces performance issues due to slow repository response and long download times for artifacts, which affects overall performance.

The complexity of managing the tool and the high cost prevent it from being a ten, especially considering there are cloud-native alternatives that are cheaper and easier to use.

The most significant thing that I can express is that upgrading JFrog Artifactory to the new version is a bit cumbersome and it is a tedious process.

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.
