"I have found IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager to be scalable."
"It has very good enterprise integration, so we are able to integrate it with the rest of our infrastructure for authentication, for role management. That is very useful."
"Primarily, the extensive support for a wide range of packages is a crucial factor. The effectiveness of new-age package managers is often determined by the breadth of packages they can handle. In this regard, Nexus Repository Manager 3 stands out for its comprehensive coverage, accommodating a vast array of packages widely utilized across the globe. This inclusivity enables easy access to a diverse range of packages, making it a pivotal aspect of its functionality."
"I have found managing the artifact features very useful."
"One of the most valuable features is the variety of permissions you can use on the repository. That helps us protect access to the information inside of the repository."
"While there aren't many features, they're all useful, particularly the ability to store and retrieve content, and to proxy all of the features that an enterprise repository manager should have."
"The most valuables features of the Sonatype Nexus Repository are you can block any uploads that you do not want. For example, from Maven. Even though someone will try to create a pump file with a package not currently in our repository, they can go and get it, but it won't store it into the Sonatype Nexus Repository and therefore won't be propagated across the enterprise."
"The searching capability is good... and we are managing multiple central repositories."
"The customer service and support are good ."
"The user interface of IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager could improve. You have to know the full UI before you can manage it properly."
"Lacks an end-to-end solution for developers to sign and store an image."
"[A] main feature that is missing in Nexus IQ is the ability to explore the history of the different reports that have been generated for a given product. For the time being, in the Nexus IQ UI, we are only able to browse the latest reports that have been generated for a given product. It would be really useful for us to be able to go back in time by browsing through the reports and to have a tool that would give us the evolution of the metrics."
"Particularly concerning OSF-type licenses, while they support a multitude of features, there's room for improvement in the single point transform, especially for grouping. It appears that currently, the grouping functionality is not robust, particularly for Docker images within a group. The support for this aspect seems to be contingent on the license type. For instance, with the Voss license type, there is a noticeable absence of support for this feature. This is an area that could benefit from enhancement in the upcoming updates."
"When it comes to uploading NPM libraries, JavaScript dependencies libraries, it is a little bit of a convoluted process. They need to improve uploading libraries for NPM-type repositories."
"They should have the ability to support multiple data centers. That is actual scalability and, in effect, high-availability."
"If your emphasis shifts towards NPM products or NuGet, using Nexus is still feasible but may require more effort. The tool is more centered around Maven, making it a bit challenging to seamlessly integrate with NPM."
"We've had some challenges around the database they use. We've had some big outages and it's due to the fact that we haven't found the database they use is all that stable... We've had some really positive conversations with Sonatype around that and they've provided us with the support and special services to help us migrate off of that, on to another type of database platform which we have more control over."
"We had some issues with the container platform, but we raised a support ticket and it was sorted out for us."
