Integrated pipelines have improved enterprise deployments and now automate secure dependency flows
Regarding improvements for JFrog Artifactory, I remember that the documentation was more focused on the on-premises JFrog version. I was mostly redirected toward that, so I found a lack of specific or clear documentation on using JFrog Artifactory with AWS. I felt this gap two years ago, and there were capabilities such as X-ray or integrations with other AWS features that I found lacking at the time. I do not have much more to say about the needed improvements in integration or documentation, but I want to mention that, coming from a quality background, I think built-in quality gates for intelligent automation, vulnerability checks, or improved visibility and communication during slow responses or service downtime would be useful for visibility in distributed environments. Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming. While it is not that difficult, I have seen new joiners struggle with the initial setup. I think JFrog Artifactory could improve with some UX revamps since many tools these days provide very intuitive user experiences, and I believe that could be something to look into for the future.

Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the JFrog CLI."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"The feature that I like is Permission Targets. If I want to give permission to only deploy the cache, I can give that permission to a set of users. Similarly, if I want to overwrite an artifact with the same name from the same pipeline, I can give permission for that as well to particular users."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"The setup is easy."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"The initial setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"Managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
