Standardized artifact workflows have boosted collaboration and saved significant delivery time
The best features that JFrog Artifactory offers are that you can have all kinds of artifacts, supporting many different ones such as Docker images, Helm charts, and different binaries from different software languages. It has versioning that you can use, proxying as well that you can use as a mirror proxy, and there is also nice access control around it, so you can limit who has access to which parts of your JFrog Artifactory tree. Regarding access control and proxying, those features help my team by making it easy to provide read access to many different teams for different artifact repositories, which works really nicely when you have many teams requiring the same package but then have one team that is actually the developer of that package or artifact. In terms of the proxy, you can use it as a mirror proxy so that all your pulls for an image can go through JFrog Artifactory before they reach Docker or something, adding an extra layer of security in the company. JFrog Artifactory has impacted my organization positively by helping us have a standard artifact management solution, so everybody is aligned, allowing us to use the same best practices and same documentation, making it easy to implement in many different pipelines. Having a standard solution such as JFrog Artifactory has affected productivity and collaboration positively. Documentation is available for everybody that is using it, so my team, as clients to JFrog Artifactory, finds it easy to pull the documentation and implement it in our pipelines or for whatever needs we have related to JFrog Artifactory, which eases up collaboration by providing a single way of doing package management.

Quality Assurance Team Lead at HCLSoftware
Process automation has improved case handling and now saves half of our daily manual work
Pega Platform has improved my business process overall. The manager confirmed that manual statuses are automated and manual evaluations are automated. For eight hours of work, it automates four hours of work. Pega Platform has features for operational efficiency that are significant. It provides a business security texture app, which is a valuable feature, and it also offers report definitions such as bar charts, pie charts, and operational help. In terms of management capabilities, Pega Platform provides dashboards and tools that help with management and categories. Pega Platform has good integration features, as integration can be done in many ways, and even for legacy systems, it is a strong feature. I did not encounter any problems with legacy systems. Pega Platform has good scalability. It is not difficult to scale up or down if there is a need.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I think JFrog Artifactory is good whether we use it for small scale or large scale operations."
"The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"JFrog Artifactory has helped us scale faster and is a highly available, robust artifact repository that boosts our confidence in production."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts."
"Having a standard solution such as JFrog Artifactory has affected productivity and collaboration positively."
"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding; earlier it used to take us four hours to do a particular code, now this can be done in less than 30 minutes, and that's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"Pega is an Intelligent Automation Platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective, allowing teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"The visualization of the business process and the collaboration aspects of the solution are its most valuable features."
"The enterprise product has the best features as a cloud product and is the market leader in the BPM space."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, JFrog Artifactory doesn't have AI features, which is an area they could update in the future."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"There have been some performance scalability issues. Suppose you want to add more users. You go from, say, 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation. To fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"In the Middle East and Africa region, Pega was not very strong from the user experience standpoint."
"The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"Licensing varies across geographical regions for us."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
"Pega is expensive."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
