I like the clustering, smart mirroring and DRP capabilities. Auto-merge is one of the unique features of this SCM.
* Clustering: The ability to run your Bitbucket instance on a cluster of multiple nodes (connected by a high bandwidth, low latency network). This provides scalable capacity, performance, and high availability. This is the top feature since every firm is looking for business resiliency. It is a cluster of nodes connected to a load balancer and single node failure doesn't impact the developer operations. More nodes can be added to, or deleted from, the system without downtime. * Smart mirroring: The ability to provide local READ-only mirror nodes in geographically distributed locations, to accelerate Git clones and fetches for remote teams. This feature really improves performance for geographically distributed teams, where all READ operations happen from local mirror and only WRITE operations require a central remote server. * Disaster recovery: A strategy to resume operations from an alternate data center (usually in another geographic location), in the event of a disaster whereby the main data center becomes unavailable. Failover (to another location) is a fundamental part of disaster recovery.

Supports a wide variety of packages with robust security features but needs tighter cloud integration
The best features of JFrog Artifactory include the core functionality of package management and software management, along with scanning capabilities to prevent vulnerabilities from being introduced. The metadata management feature was particularly useful for managing packages within JFrog Artifactory. We utilized Xray integration with JFrog Artifactory, which was instrumental in managing vulnerabilities overall. JFrog Artifactory has robust functionality in terms of access control, which helped us ensure minimal access to various artifacts. I would rate it eight out of ten because it is a great product that is widely used in the industry. It has excellent features from an artifact management perspective and maintains good integrations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Any organization with multiple, parallel release development and large SCRUM teams can really benefit by adopting Bitbucket as an SCM solution."
"I think JFrog Artifactory is good whether we use it for small scale or large scale operations."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"JFrog Artifactory proved very helpful in supporting a variety of package types for different projects."
"JFrog Artifactory has helped us scale faster and is a highly available, robust artifact repository that boosts our confidence in production."
"The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"Universal package support and custom properties help my team day-to-day by making us more efficient, as we have one tool with which all engineering teams can interact regardless of their team."
"The best features JFrog Artifactory offers are a unified store for our builds, Docker, and everything, and its integration into CI/CD, which is quite smooth for us as we are using it across several different repositories and two different package types including Go and Java Spring Boot."
"The core functionality is most valuable for indexing and metadata of all the artifacts, but within the last year or two, we've been using the Projects feature, which has been very helpful. We can now assign individual admins for different projects and repos so that they can self-manage their own user permissions for their data. My IT DevOps team doesn't have to be the facilitators of that. It's now more of a self-service capability for them."
 

Cons

"Stability depends on the way you perform the setup. We had issues with our initial setup where MySQL was the database."
"I would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly."
"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming."
"It's an enterprise product that acts like an enterprise product. In other words, it's not a product where they focus on user experience."
"The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure."
"I choose a nine out of ten because, as mentioned in my previous answer, it sometimes faces performance issues due to slow repository response and long download times for artifacts, which affects overall performance."
"The latest version that I am using is 7.41. It has been upgraded graphics-wise, but there is a bit of slowness. They can improve the graphical interface for the admin jobs and make it faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am not aware of its cost, but it is worth investing in this. My guess is that its price is not much because we generally prefer open-source solutions, and if we are investing, we don't go for expensive ones. Our selection is based on the market demand and needs, and we invest only if something is worth the cost."
"It is a bit expensive. It could be a little bit lower or have an a la carte option because, in our case, we had to go to the next version of Enterprise X because we needed one feature, which was more than three projects. We don't need all the other capabilities, but we're paying for all those. It's almost twice the cost of the previous version. So, it would be nice to have something along those lines."
