Cloudsmith Reviews

Cloudsmith is a great option for private npm repos. Works well to have a private npm repo on Cloudsmith associated with an npm scope.

It's easy to set up. It's flexible. I like how there's unlimited users, but charged on disk space. That makes it very cost-effective for small teams.

Customer support is generally responsive. I've used Cloudsmith in 2 companies now - in my previous company they went above and beyond for a few issues I had.

We hit a few issues with rate limits in CI, but worked around them.

Private npm hosting

For us, it's a developer first platform. That means that you have clear, full documentation and mostly every single edge case you could think of out of the box. For those questions or things that seem a bit unusual, a quick chat with support results in either resolution or a feature request which is properly considered and often makes it into the platform.

Honestly, so far I have found nothing that I dislike. No matter what the weird business case I need to support, cloudsmith has my back. When we first started using it I assumed that there would be dead ends but I have yet to find them!

We use cloudsmith for all of our internal libraries and images. In the future, we will be shipping our public SDKs with the platform as well, complete with EULA enforcement. For the range of systems we have to support, having a practically turn key solution is a life saver

The ability to listen and the willingness to understand your challenges and how Cloudsmith can alleviate those pain points.

The only downsides had nothing to do with Cloudsmith its a refreshing example of a next generation artifactory that I wish my clients would use.

Cloudsmith is truly the future of Artifactorys allowing you to store Terraform modules, Container images, dependencies, tool dependencies for example the IBM ACE toolkit which is 1.7GB and this is to just mention a few. There were no limitations around our use case.

The support team genuinely care about helping our business succeed.

The multi format repository concept makes it very very easy to use.

Cloudsmith is a genuine cloud native SaaS product, not an on-prem product deployed to cloud like some of its competitors, so the speed it achieves at scale is truly impressive.

Implementation was trivial as it supports native tooling in all the formats it supports.

Similarly integration is very easy because of their "native first" approach.

There is nothing unhelpful about Cloudsmith.

We need a place to keep an indelible record of the software we produce.

Great documentation, outstanding support and a product that speaks for itself.

Nothing that I can think of in particular

After JFrog BinTray was retired, we were scrambling to find a new home for our Java-based artifacts that can be easily uploaded and retrieved. Cloudsmith fit that need perfectly.

A service that just works with a team that provies great service and tooling arund the product.

The UI was slow to unuable at times, but here we saw improvements as well.

Support for a wide range of artifact types, precise access management and reliable delivery.

The value is perfect for our needs. Other products overcharge for what we use as a basic artifact management product with private settings also. The team has been extremely responsive to any issues we may encounter.

*Note that this is a compensated review. It is not shaded by that, though.

This was a forced migration from Bintray and Cloudsmith met most of the requirements, however it did not meet all. There are a few areas we had to write some custom code to handle, but nothing too onerous, and they provide an extensive API to accomplish that.

We need a product that can host artifacts, and especially handle artifacts that need to be gated so that they are only accessible to paying customers. Cloudsmith meets that requirement.

It is so easy get started with the tool! There is a description for every feature and even for 3rd party tools that just work with cloudsmith. You also have a very clear and structured overview of your repositories and packages. It works great with different package managers.

We didnt really see something that we disliked. The only thing maybe which I dont 100% like is that the same package with multiple versions uploaded are not collapsable and are displayed as their own package. But I can imagine this is only a matter of changing settings we currently dont know of and it is definitly not a problem which hinders any work efficiency. It would only look a bit better if you have many different packages with different versions.

We manage all of our private and internal packages with cloudsmith. Especially our tools that we made to ease with development are now easier to install on new systems and updates are also alot faster and easier to install!

Provides package management for all OpenCPN Plugins

Reliability, ease of use, and great support.

Permits Organization setup and use of Teams.

Opensource support.

Cloudsmith has been a wonderful service.

Since we are using it for OpenCPN plugins, which have similar repositories, it would be helpful to adjust Retainage settings globally, which is just a minor inconvenience.

The industry is correct. Opensource Marine Navigation Software

How to build and deploy OpenCPN plugins for multiple OS.

OpenCPN is open source Marine Navigation Software, benefitting many Sailors and Cruisers.

They have an excellent support team with quick response times plus a great feature set including entitlement tokens, auditing of who downloaded what, and an API to automate everything.

We had some past issues with specific NuGet packages not uploading but resolved these by working with support.

We needed a private repo for NuGet and npm packages to allow paying customers to access our software. With Cloudsmith, we can create unique entitlement tokens for each client, limit which packages or versions they have access to, remove permissions at any time, and set an expiration date to coincide with the Customer's license. We were also able to automate the generation of entitlement tokens with the Cloudsmith API and see logs of which customers are downloading which products.
