Development Senior at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.

AI app builder has transformed internal tools and now empowers business teams to build workflows
The best features Lovable offers include natural language processing which converts it as a full app generation and full-stack development in one place. Lovable is designed to make app development feel simple for non-technical users; instead of coding, you just describe what you want, which makes non-technical users able to try out and test many things by themselves. There is minimal setup required, so you don't need to configure servers, databases manually, and backend, front end, and hosting are handled automatically, allowing you to start building immediately. The fast learning curve allows building apps in a few hours and making updates instantly while understanding how things work through visual feedback. Real-time editing lets you see what you want through your text, and Lovable is quite flexible, making it more powerful. Lovable has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing development time and increasing productivity across teams, allowing us to deliver tools faster and improve responsiveness to business needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"JFrog Artifactory has positively impacted my organization by centralizing artifact management and improving consistency across builds."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"Artifactory has helped us modernize, and that's something that we can't do without."
"The package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the JFrog CLI."
"JFrog Artifactory has definitely impacted our organization in a positive manner, as approximately 20,000 people or 20,000 pipelines use it on a day-to-day basis and most of the time it saves time because it is very fast, with tools, services, and features that are really brilliant and no other tool can match."
"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"Lovable has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing development time and increasing productivity across teams, allowing us to deliver tools faster and improve responsiveness to business needs."
 

Cons

"Although JQL is a great tool, I have noticed that JQL queries can be hard to learn."
"The complexity of managing the tool and the high cost prevent it from being a ten, especially considering there are cloud-native alternatives that are cheaper and easier to use."
"Looking back, I think the learning curve for JFrog Artifactory could be eased, and the installation process could feel less overwhelming."
"Currently, JFrog Artifactory doesn't have AI features, which is an area they could update in the future."
"The documentation is a bit sparse."
"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."
"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"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."
"Lovable can be improved by having more predictable credit usage, as it uses a credit-based system where each action or prompt consumes credit depending on the complexity, which is one thing to consider while scaling because pricing will make a big impact."
 

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."
