Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.

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

"Bitrise has had a significant positive impact on my organization because we do not have any other platform to realize these builds and deploys with mobile apps."
"With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day."
"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization by helping me reduce time by around 50% or more while I am using it for my personal project."
"Within three months of going live on Bitrise, we moved to weekly releases, and now we have a reliable hotfix pipeline that can ship a production build within 45 minutes to an hour of a fix being merged."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"As for specific outcomes about the positive impact from expanding to four or five verticals, we have achieved faster deployment speeds, faster time to market, and lower pipeline failure rates."
"JFrog Artifactory has helped us scale faster and is a highly available, robust artifact repository that boosts our confidence in production."
"Artifactory has helped us modernize, and that's something that we can't do without."
"I think JFrog Artifactory is good whether we use it for small scale or large scale operations."
"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."
 

Cons

"They need to add some extra documentation for how to use the parameters, such as variables, where to add them, and how to use them below the workflow."
"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"Bitrise is sometimes stable, and sometimes I experience problems with Bitrise."
"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure."
"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"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."
"Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming."
"We're looking for something that has additional reporting capabilities on data growth and data aging. This goes back to storage lifecycle management so that the actual Artifactory itself can provide these reports to either the administrators or the users. I don't know if it has those capabilities. That's something we have to look into regarding the self-service dashboard, but the tool itself having those capabilities would be great rather than trying to do it at the underlying storage hardware layer."
"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. I wasn't an administrator, so I primarily worked with the command line tool to upload and download parts of the product. I was not impressed with that because it wasn't well documented. It was challenging to figure out how to get things to work."
"In some of the latest versions of JFrog's SaaS solution, they changed the user interface, the SSO settings, how you interact with them over API, and how you generate tokens. It was very confusing for me. The overall user management is very complicated."
"The most significant thing that I can express is that upgrading JFrog Artifactory to the new version is a bit cumbersome and it is a tedious process."
 

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."
