Likelihood to Recommend 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.

Setting up detailed configurations requires quite some effort and deep understanding of the Sonatype Platform. Whenever needed the support teams from Sonatype are available for technical and functional support. As well the Innovate platform of Sonatype offers customers to interact on specific topics and set up customer reference calls.

Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Native artifact format support like docker image Support for APL Support IAM permission Read full review Recommendations for best Energy Consumption options based on existing BOM - e.g. replace component X with component Y to reduce CPU cycles. More specific recommendations regarding Open Source Licensing - not just saying "Copyleft" but the next level of analysis (it's difficult - but would save a lot of time) Provide specific component replacement options where no "next version" resolves a high severity vulnerability.

Read full review Support Rating Monthly touchpoints with Sinisa has been very valuable.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review 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.
