Overall Satisfaction with Sonatype Nexus Platform

We use Nexus as a repository for our code artifacts for different languages. Mainly for JavaScript/Typescript libraries and Java libraries but also docker images. The libraries are typically provided for multiple projects. Another use-case is to use Nexus as a proxy to other Maven-based repositories.
  • Manage different versions of java artifacts.
  • Works as a package manager for JavaScript based apps.
  • User management integrated with our company active directory server.
  • The user interface is complex and not easy to understand for first time users.
  • The administration and configuration is kind of complex.
  • Central repository for java artifacts
  • Central repository for docker container
  • Improved build times because of cached artifacts.
  • Improved reproducibility of builds because of central repository for dependencies.

Sonatype Nexus works well as an artifact repository for different programming languages. If set up correctly it is very easy to use in your Maven or Gradle scripts to manage your dependencies. It is also easy to aggregate different public repositories and manage access to these public repositories.
