RubyGems

Our company uses RubyGems as the de-facto packaging solution for our Ruby on Rails systems. All of the teams that use Ruby use our internal RubyGems artifactory. It's primarily used to resolve the issue of having to package common Ruby libraries together, as well as to publish our own internal gems and reusable libraries.

Seemless packaging
Well documented
Verbose error logs
Active community support
Quick security fixes/releases

Lack of solid Windows support.
Not great performance if lots of people release at the same time.

Quick package hosting.
Faster deployment process.
Less troubleshooting needed during deployment.
