JFrog Artifactory vs. Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition

It works at scale and a large number of accessible pipelines for searching, repository updates and indexing will become easier. JFrog provides end-to-end solutions for all DevOps needs. With this, Jfrog Artifactory specifically implements the management of highly available repositories, with a smooth interface and integration with all the main CI tools on the market.

Best suited for secure artifact storage and wide distributions, along with compliance and governance support, easy integration with different organization ecosystems. Less suited for projects with minimal dependencies and offline environments with no connectivity to external repositories.

Incentivized

• Artifactory Management acting as a repository manager of docker images, application and component dependencies
• Automate pipelines and thereby releasing changes faster
• Supports high availability and scalability with multi site replication

Incentivized

• Secure artifact storage and customization
• Compliance components in lifecycle
• Integration in development ecosystems

Incentivized

• We can always use support for more different types of packages in Artifactory.
• We also would like to see the Artifactory X-Ray produce continue to mature.

Incentivized

• Expanded repository format support
• Detailed dependencies insights
• Integrated Vulnerability management

The main problem that seems intractable is getting the checksum of the artifact. Managing container artifacts is a game changer for us during project execution, as the container artifact type exposes all base image and Docker file steps. This makes debugging or analysis easier. Jfrog Artifactory provides promotion feature and can automated from one environment repo to another environment repo before the deployment occurs.

Support tickets take days to respond. The most basic of questions that should be knocked out in a few hours don't get answers for days. Tickets are also closed without resolution.

JFrog Artifactory has a much more friendly GUI, making package exploration less of a chore to do. Other than that, their features are pretty much comparable to each other. Both support multiple types of packages; both have API that can integrate well with CI/CD pipelines.

Sonatype Nexus Repository OSS has some useful features- - Distributed repository management - Insights in component usage - Repository Health check - Smart proxying option

Incentivized

• So many times it happens at the time of dependency resolution some of the servers are down e.g NPM, Maven central, PiPy in that cause our builds starts failing. By proxying these repositories with JFrog this is never happened again.
• It reduced the additional cost of container image registry and management effort.
• Support of integration with Build, Monitoring, and CI tools resulted in smooth automation and management.

• Positive - security standards setup in organization
• Positive - detailed data insights
