    JFrog is a very strong competitor for the Sonatype Platform and in some areas beats Sonatype's configuration, for example on the default options for retention, cleanup and backups. However, Sonatype Platform has easy integration at Enterprise scale, is transparant on it's …

    Share codes and packages across the whole organization. We have developers most of the time work from home or overseas like in India. We can test and deploy the package when they deploy the new changes into the Azure Artifacts. Azure Artifact can promote our package to the correct system like DEV, UAT, or Production. It also provides retention policies to automatically clean up expired packages.

    - Guidance on remediation is very good - Vulnerability detection is very good - Support is very good - Ability to ask PMs/POs open questions at Office Hours every month is very good - Support for languages is lacking (TIOBE Index Top20) - Some features are un-neededly hidden and make the usage more complex then it needs to be

    • Nexus firewall is a great feature enabled for all our proxy repositories which are used to download the third-party opensource packages.
    • Nexus IQ is integrated with build stage to analyze the component against evaluation policy. This helps to figure out the application security standards.
    • Nexus IQ is also having a feature to scan container images before it uploads to our private repository. This is great feature for container platforms.

    Sonatype supports more than 200 dev(s). It proves with the repository to store the artifacts. Allows for governance of open source software used by the different teams. It is used by security teams to scan for vulnerabilities in software(s) and in the deployed containers. It helps ensure code quality.

    Overall experience is great with the Platform; however, I see some opportunity with upgrading the platform as it is missing with data of historical scans to allow reviewer to get view of trend how the application/product development team is considering fixing the issues.

    Azure Artifact is based on GitHub which is the best artifact at all times. Helm is open source and we may have security concerns. Crucible is a good tool but does not of a lot of support. I prefer that Azure Artifact is a solid product and with a good gene from the GitHub codebase.

    Out of other products we evaluated before choosing Sonatype, the later looked far more user friendly, easy to understand and work with. This was key for us, as the tool needs to be used by many engineers that don't have security as their main focus. Having a tool that is easy to understand and work with, makes the process of evaluating open source dependencies much easier and appealing for developers.

    • The artifact provide best practice to our software development.
    • Provide a standard way to release the software.
    • The package is immutability which means no one can update it after release.

    • Sonatype's centralized management of artifacts have made it very easy for developers to share code in an efficient manner.
    • Sonatype's low false positive rate has made it easier to convince developers to remediate vulnerabilities
    • Sonatype's archaic architecture has made it more expensive to manage than it could be.
