"Best Package Repository"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had some past issues with specific NuGet packages not uploading but resolved these by working with support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy and elegant to use with excellent tech support"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

Cloudsmith provides a quick way for my company to produce and manage binary dependencies for multiple languages and OS distributables. Because of this, our software code base is more modular. Furthermore, we can control which installation artifacts that we want to be public for our customers to be able to download. Cloudsmith does a great job of providing documentation that includes example scripts for multiple languages and scripting environments. And if we run into difficulties, Cloudsmith's online technical support is second to none. They are always responsive and quick to provide help through their chat service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

Nothing much. Sometimes which version of a snapshot should be used can get a bit confused but that's been a minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I find that CloudSmith is the ideal place to have repositories, both stable and development."
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

It seems to me that the options and diversity of repositories. Since it allows to use of npm, composer, maven, docker, rpm, deb. I think it's great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

What I don't like is that private or even personal repositories cannot make it, other than individual accounts. As a developer, I create packages for various companies and have them available there. Still, as a developer, I would also like to offer my packages from my profile. Like I do with Github Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing support, great product"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

Their support is absolutely the most responsive and on-top-of-things of any of the service providers I have dealt with. I once emailed about an issue in the late afternoon and there was a fix deployed to prod before I checked email in the morning!

The product also works very well and is pretty intuitive. I've also dealt with their biggest competition; the support and product are both better. (The other might have a few more features, but is more confusing to use.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

Not much. I was hoping to proxy Node repos to an upstream but it doesn't support that yet (it's apparently on the roadmap). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So mentioned roadmap items go slow. But ofcourse I understand there is some prioritization involved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and powerful repository management"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

Support responds almost immediately and is very helpful.

Repositories are multi-type which means that we can keep all artifacts of our releases in one place.

You can have as many repositories as required without additional costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

A Gradle plugin for publishing would be nice. We have built our own now.

We also had to build a download section in our customer portal as we cannot expose the Cloudsmith GUI to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful repository management"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

Cloudsmith gives us a comprehensive way to manage our software package distribution. It's easy for us and our customers to use and the customer service is responsive when we have questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

Their web UI is frustrating. We use entitlement tokens to manage our distributions across multiple repositories, and each token has to be manually copied from one repo to all the others. It's also impossible to figure out which customers have tokens in which repos without looking through them all, and there's no way to search or reorder the list of tokens.

"Incredibly good and unique"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

Do you need a public or private repository of type X? You get it in few clicks.

No need to spawn another virtual machine, learn how to self-host repositories of type X, and maintain complex configurations.

And if you're lost, a live human engineer (or two) will support you on short notice (15 min). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

The CLI could be optimized to push batches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for customer service and features"
What do you like best about Cloudsmith?

The best part of CloudSmith is their customer service. Whenever we need assistance, they are there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudsmith?

The way docker images are labelled with "latest" is sometimes inconsistent. A work-around is to assign the latest label in our build tooling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
