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.

Centralized collaboration has transformed API testing and documentation across multiple teams
In terms of improvement, the UI can sometimes feel heavy for larger collections in the workspaces. Additionally, performance may slow down with complex API projects, and pricing can be expensive for smaller teams. However, it is quite suitable for bigger teams. Other areas for improvement include better reporting and analytics dashboards, and more advanced native test environment features could enhance workflow, with smoother offline support and sync handling. Additionally, better performance for very large collections would be helpful, along with more intuitive navigation for enterprise-scale workspaces, stronger reporting analytics, easier management of permissions across large teams, and more flexible automation and testing report options would be beneficial. Small usability and performance improvements would make Postman Enterprise even more efficient for larger organizations. Postman Enterprise needs better performance optimization for large enterprises, more detailed analytics user reporting, improved API governance and audit visibility, simpler permissions and access control management, faster sync and loading times for larger collections, and more advanced built-in testing and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think JFrog Artifactory is good whether we use it for small scale or large scale operations."
"For the most part, it's pretty stable."
"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 is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts."
"The best features JFrog Artifactory offers are a unified store for our builds, Docker, and everything, and its integration into CI/CD, which is quite smooth for us as we are using it across several different repositories and two different package types including Go and Java Spring Boot."
"Artifactory has helped us modernize, and that's something that we can't do without."
"JFrog Artifactory has positively impacted my organization by enhancing software supply chain security, and that is the biggest takeaway."
"HPE was using it for a lot of things, and they certainly had a massive implementation."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"The output has been very good; there are lots of good features, its initial setup is easy depending on the operating system, it is stable and reliable, and the product is not expensive although there is also the option for open-source so it can be free to use."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"Postman has helped with storing data, sharing test cases, and reporting, making it much easier to share test cases with teammates and automatically handle raw data and new structures or formats, which makes my life much easier."
"When it comes to anything API related, I would recommend this solution."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
 

Cons

"Currently, JFrog Artifactory doesn't have AI features, which is an area they could update in the future."
"Although JQL is a great tool, I have noticed that JQL queries can be hard to learn."
"JFrog Artifactory could be improved for simpler workflows without dedicated infra teams or dedicated DevOps, as it could be difficult to configure."
"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 documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"However, because of the sheer size and magnitude of artifacts that end up getting stored on JFrog Artifactory, the tool tends to be bogged down and most of the functions also get bottlenecked because of that."
"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 would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"One area for improvement is that sometimes performance is slightly slow when we are handling large collections."
"Initially, the setup is a little bit complex"
"The solution can be confusing for first-time users so it could be made a little more user friendly."
 

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 use the tool's free version."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"We are using its free version."
"It is free."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"The solution is open-source and free."
