Sr. SCM Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

I like the clustering, smart mirroring and DRP capabilities. Auto-merge is one of the unique features of this SCM.

* Clustering: The ability to run your Bitbucket instance on a cluster of multiple nodes (connected by a high bandwidth, low latency network). This provides scalable capacity, performance, and high availability. This is the top feature since every firm is looking for business resiliency. It is a cluster of nodes connected to a load balancer and single node failure doesn't impact the developer operations. More nodes can be added to, or deleted from, the system without downtime. * Smart mirroring: The ability to provide local READ-only mirror nodes in geographically distributed locations, to accelerate Git clones and fetches for remote teams. This feature really improves performance for geographically distributed teams, where all READ operations happen from local mirror and only WRITE operations require a central remote server. * Disaster recovery: A strategy to resume operations from an alternate data center (usually in another geographic location), in the event of a disaster whereby the main data center becomes unavailable. Failover (to another location) is a fundamental part of disaster recovery.

Integrated pipelines have improved enterprise deployments and now automate secure dependency flows

Regarding improvements for JFrog Artifactory, I remember that the documentation was more focused on the on-premises JFrog version. I was mostly redirected toward that, so I found a lack of specific or clear documentation on using JFrog Artifactory with AWS. I felt this gap two years ago, and there were capabilities such as X-ray or integrations with other AWS features that I found lacking at the time. I do not have much more to say about the needed improvements in integration or documentation, but I want to mention that, coming from a quality background, I think built-in quality gates for intelligent automation, vulnerability checks, or improved visibility and communication during slow responses or service downtime would be useful for visibility in distributed environments. Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming. While it is not that difficult, I have seen new joiners struggle with the initial setup. I think JFrog Artifactory could improve with some UX revamps since many tools these days provide very intuitive user experiences, and I believe that could be something to look into for the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Any organization with multiple, parallel release development and large SCRUM teams can really benefit by adopting Bitbucket as an SCM solution."

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

"For the most part, it's pretty stable."

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"Stability depends on the way you perform the setup. We had issues with our initial setup where MySQL was the database."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I am not aware of its cost, but it is worth investing in this. My guess is that its price is not much because we generally prefer open-source solutions, and if we are investing, we don't go for expensive ones. Our selection is based on the market demand and needs, and we invest only if something is worth the cost."

"It is a bit expensive. It could be a little bit lower or have an a la carte option because, in our case, we had to go to the next version of Enterprise X because we needed one feature, which was more than three projects. We don't need all the other capabilities, but we're paying for all those. It's almost twice the cost of the previous version. So, it would be nice to have something along those lines."
