In my experience, there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. It can be somewhat challenging to install and get started. However, once you gain some experience, working with JFrog becomes much easier. Overall, it's manageable for beginners, but there might be a bit of a learning curve. I'd call myself an intermediate user.

The solution's documentation available over the internet is not straightforward and customer-friendly. The documentation is mostly for the on-prem services, and there's no documentation for the cloud offering, which could be improved. The pricing is not readily explained over the internet, and I had to manually check a lot of forums to get an insight into how we are getting charged. We were on a pro plan, and JFrog could have suggested optimization or plan upgrades based on our utilization. That didn't happen unless we manually looked into it, and now we are considering moving away from this platform. The solution's storage costs are getting too high. Last month, we were charged around two and a half terabytes, which is a lot of data. We are considering moving towards a cost-effective platform.

Senior Consultant at Mettler-Toledo International Inc.

When managing Docker images, I find that JFrog Container Registry has very low latency when pushing or pulling images, which is a significant reason we are using JFrog, along with easily configurable endpoints to the application. We don't use the replication capabilities of JFrog Container Registry because we tag different sets of containers for every release. Over the years, I have seen nice improvements to the user interface of JFrog Container Registry, and I hope that more additional capabilities come in the future so that we can keep using this tool. Currently, JFrog Container Registry does not support my AI-driven workloads as we haven't explored that direction yet, but it's a consideration for future purposes. We have plans to increase the usage of JFrog Container Registry in the future as we have other products in the pipeline, and once they complete the MVP phase, we will take the next initiatives. Currently, we only have two endpoints for JFrog, one from AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) and one from Azure ( /products/microsoft-azure-reviews ). Overall, I would rate JFrog Container Registry an eight.
