Whenever your projects need some packages which are available on NuGet it is easy to consume them with the help of tools such as Visual Studio, and MSBuild. We can add customized functionality to existing packages and can host them as a separate packages easily. Packages that depend on other packages are well managed by NuGet.

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.

Alternatives Considered

Not really have a choice here, especially when working with .NET Framework / .NET Core. At least the built-in GUI of NuGet helps beginners get up to speed quickly. However, advanced users would be able to be more productive with Maven / Ivy thanks to the complete text-based format. Basically, people from the Java world are spoiled by a much better dependency management system.
