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.

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

"The most valuable feature is that it is a centralized repository and that you can open multiple repositories for different types of artifacts."
"JFrog Artifactory has positively impacted my organization by centralizing artifact management and improving consistency across builds."
"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."
"Since we started using JFrog Artifactory, we no longer manage our own server just to keep source code and binary code, as all our binary repositories are in JFrog Artifactory, making it a very good repository manager where we can store all our artifacts in one easily accessible place without worrying about downtime or application unavailability, while also providing a proxy for remote applications that has transformed our release process to be faster."
"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."
"JFrog Artifactory has helped us scale faster and is a highly available, robust artifact repository that boosts our confidence in production."
"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."
"Pega's technical support team is very helpful and I would rate them ten out of ten."
"What I found most valuable in PegaRULES is that it allows you to quickly make changes to an existing application. It's pretty easy to do any modification in the tool, which you cannot do in legacy solutions. For example, it takes a lot of time to do it in Java or in .NET. I have worked with both legacy technologies in the past, so that I can tell the difference."
"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 feature is the use of CDX to solve problems."
"The solution has assisted us by automating our workflow and supports the process management of medication therapy engagements with patients."
"The way it is adapting to new changes is quite useful, and the way it is changing itself to survive in the industry with other BPM tools and being competitive every time, with Pega you can deliver some things pretty quickly and deliver a prototype for what Pega calls a Minimum Viable Product or Minimum Lovable Project, MLP, very, very fast."
"As a product I have to say that I think Pega BPM is the best right now, and the only problem that we have with Pega is the people."
"One of the key advantages of PegaRULES is its out-of-the-box capabilities, which eliminate the need to build certain functionalities from scratch. For instance, features like "get next" in process flows allow for the seamless continuation of a flow without the requirement of additional activity creation. This serves as an illustration of how existing components can be leveraged rather than starting from scratch. It provides a solid foundation, to begin with, and allows for enhancements at a higher level, making it a beneficial starting point."
 

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."
"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."
"JFrog could improve this product with tighter integration capabilities."
"The documentation is a bit sparse. That's our only complaint."
"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."
"I would like to see written technical support instead of having to contact them directly."
"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."
"If it's not implemented by knowledgeable resources it's going to be a disaster."
"The usability of the solution for developers is sometimes difficult to work with because instead of fixing the existing bugs in the previous version, there is always a rush to push out a new version leaving the bugs in the old versions unresolved."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
 

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."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
