JFrog Artifactory Pros review quotes

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.

The feature that I like is Permission Targets. If I want to give permission to only deploy the cache, I can give that permission to a set of users. Similarly, if I want to overwrite an artifact with the same name from the same pipeline, I can give permission for that as well to particular users.

For the most part, it's pretty stable.

The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts.

The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well.

HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation.

The most valuable feature I have found is the JFrog CLI.
 

JFrog Artifactory Cons review quotes

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.

The latest version that I am using is 7.41. It has been upgraded graphics-wise, but there is a bit of slowness. They can improve the graphical interface for the admin jobs and make it faster.

Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory.

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.

The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint.

It's an enterprise product that acts like an enterprise product. In other words, it's not a product where they focus on user experience. I wasn't an administrator, so I primarily worked with the command line tool to upload and download parts of the product. I was not impressed with that because it wasn't well documented. It was challenging to figure out how to get things to work.

I would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly.
