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.

JFrog Artifactory has helped us scale faster and is a highly available, robust artifact repository that boosts our confidence in production.

Universal package support and custom properties help my team day-to-day by making us more efficient, as we have one tool with which all engineering teams can interact regardless of their team.

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.

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

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.

Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming.

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

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.

JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure.

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.

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

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.
