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.

Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"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 package registries have been helpful. GitLab, our previous solution, wasn't managing that well."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the JFrog CLI."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts."
"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."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature, as it is pretty simple."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The dynamic structures are the most valuable."
"As a tester, it was easy to validate data, access data, make active run queries against it, and retrieve data from it."
"MongoDB Atlas was explicitly designed to support IoT applications. Many databases offer features tailored for IoT use cases."
"The auto-scaling feature is the most valuable aspect."
"MongoDB Atlas is a database that is quite fast, stable, and reliable."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"I would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"I would say pricing is an area where MongoDB Atlas could improve."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"That is the only drawback that I find with MongoDB: creating the trigger."
"The cost needs improvement."
"In the past, MongoDB offered more features for free, but now it's quite limited. The free version is limited, and you need to pay extra to fully utilize it. The pricing could be improved."
"If it could be cheaper, that would make us happy."
"An area for improvement in MongoDB Atlas is that it does not support individual or personal database backup, though it supports cloud cluster backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"For our service, it was around 300 to 600 euros per month, which was acceptable for our customers."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly affordable."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"The pricing is not that expensive, but it can be, especially when we have deployed it across multiple zones."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is an open-source platform."
"The solution is fairly priced."
