    Apache
    Well suited for small organizations to medium-sized teams/organizations. Apache Archiva is well suited for:
    • It acts as a central repository/proxy of the artifacts generated and used by the teams.
    • It provides control on which open source repositories can be utilized by the team.
    • Saves network bandwidth by reducing outbound traffic.
    Apache Archiva is less appropriate for organizations where immediate support/bug resolutions are required.
