Has anyone else had nothing but trouble with Artifactory? We are furiously migrating away from it to Github packages for our internal NPM repository. Their uptime has been abysmal.
Unfortunately GitHub has been going down for multiple days this year, they've definitely outpaced our Artifactory instance in terms of downtime.

In addition to what others have said, I think Amazon's Elastic Container Registry is a huge threat to JFrog's prospects. Perhaps they need to IPO now to gain access to the deep pools of capital they'll require to face down the threat from Amazon. Or maybe this is one of those IPOs like SendGrid that is fairly quickly followed by an acquisition.
Both ECR and CodeArtifact are competition from AWS. If you're already using AWS it's difficult to justify the switch to Artifactory, considering you also lose integrations with things like instance roles when you switch.
With Helm, there is no need for Artifactory. You get Harbor, Verdaccio, etc. It is silly to pay a company 100k+ when all this stuff is easily managed using official or far more powerful tools.
I guess I've not worked in big enough corporates to use this. Can any user here provide some context what JFrog does? The website doesn't really say much, the example pipeline files for JFrog pipelines seem more complex than GitLab CI.
Anyone has comparisons of this to NuGet?

Can they not compete with Amazon? The developers know the product best.
ElasticSearch or Redis seem like a good example of the challenges with that approach. Managing contracts is tedious and there's a substantial convenience factor for the difference between “click and it's running on your existing bill” and “go somewhere else, get setup with a license, take over O&M for your own servers”. If it's really critical, you'll do that but a company has to be really dependent on a piece of sof…

I thought they were more known for package registries and hosting (eg conan) than CI.

For me JFrog is synonymous with Artifactory -- I think that was their earliest / bread & butter product? That may just be my interaction. It's an on-premise/cloud hybrid source artifact repository. The nice thing about it is that it is one product that can act as a maven/npm/pip/etc. repo. If you're in a polyglot org (big enterprise) and you have security needs/historical baggage to host on-premise (big enterprise) t…
Though Artifactory is currently still listed as being OSS on their site ( https://jfrog.com/open-source/ ) they stopped publishing the source code after the 7.0 release of Artifactory (somewhere beginning this year). I guess this could be the reason. Having an OSS product is not something investors get thrilled about... Usually JFrog is pretty responsive on StackOverflow though for this particular question they seem…
Rightly so, considering the next step for a lot of such OSS projects is AWS offering it as paid hosted service with zero benefit to the maintainers. So then they have to couple it with a restrictive license which devalues the "open" part.

If AWS wants to copy you, not having your source code isn't going to stop them.
