Standardized artifact workflows have boosted collaboration and saved significant delivery time
The best features that JFrog Artifactory offers are that you can have all kinds of artifacts, supporting many different ones such as Docker images, Helm charts, and different binaries from different software languages. It has versioning that you can use, proxying as well that you can use as a mirror proxy, and there is also nice access control around it, so you can limit who has access to which parts of your JFrog Artifactory tree. Regarding access control and proxying, those features help my team by making it easy to provide read access to many different teams for different artifact repositories, which works really nicely when you have many teams requiring the same package but then have one team that is actually the developer of that package or artifact. In terms of the proxy, you can use it as a mirror proxy so that all your pulls for an image can go through JFrog Artifactory before they reach Docker or something, adding an extra layer of security in the company. JFrog Artifactory has impacted my organization positively by helping us have a standard artifact management solution, so everybody is aligned, allowing us to use the same best practices and same documentation, making it easy to implement in many different pipelines. Having a standard solution such as JFrog Artifactory has affected productivity and collaboration positively. Documentation is available for everybody that is using it, so my team, as clients to JFrog Artifactory, finds it easy to pull the documentation and implement it in our pipelines or for whatever needs we have related to JFrog Artifactory, which eases up collaboration by providing a single way of doing package management.

Quality Assurance Team Lead at HCLSoftware
Process automation has improved case handling and now saves half of our daily manual work
Pega Platform has improved my business process overall. The manager confirmed that manual statuses are automated and manual evaluations are automated. For eight hours of work, it automates four hours of work. Pega Platform has features for operational efficiency that are significant. It provides a business security texture app, which is a valuable feature, and it also offers report definitions such as bar charts, pie charts, and operational help. In terms of management capabilities, Pega Platform provides dashboards and tools that help with management and categories. Pega Platform has good integration features, as integration can be done in many ways, and even for legacy systems, it is a strong feature. I did not encounter any problems with legacy systems. Pega Platform has good scalability. It is not difficult to scale up or down if there is a need.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Having a standard solution such as JFrog Artifactory has affected productivity and collaboration positively."
"I think JFrog Artifactory is good whether we use it for small scale or large scale operations."
"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."
"JFrog Artifactory proved very helpful in supporting a variety of package types for different projects."
"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."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"In terms of functionality, Pega is probably the number one solution in this field."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."
"The enterprise product has the best features as a cloud product and is the market leader in the BPM space."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
 

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."
"The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"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."
"JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure."
"Maybe around user experience, I think one improvement could be the UX, which shows its age, as it has not changed for a bit, but other than that, it is fine."
"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."
"Sometimes the documentation was sort of messy because there are many possibilities for where and how to install Artifactory."
"I choose a nine out of ten because, as mentioned in my previous answer, it sometimes faces performance issues due to slow repository response and long download times for artifacts, which affects overall performance."
"An area for improvement in Pega BPM is security. It's secure, but it still has a lot of vulnerabilities. Pega BPM is robust, but it still needs some improvement performance-wise."
"The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate their support as an eight. I say eight because they have global support, so sometimes it takes time."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"Reporting is not so clear and not so great. We really struggle to get the right reporting. When we need reporting based on the content of the tickets, we are not able to get it. The MIS reporting is not great. That's one of the reasons why we are switching to ServiceNow. Its compatibility with the higher versions of Internet Explorer should be improved. It really works well in Mozilla Firefox or any other browser, but when it comes to Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, sometimes, the layout gets disturbed. The positioning of the buttons changes, and there is some distortion in the layout. I am not sure whether it is our configuration problem or Pega's, but when it is working in Mozilla Firefox, it should also work in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
 

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."
"Pega is expensive."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
