What problems is Sonatype Nexus Repository solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to centrally store artifacts and binaries required for our project. As a team, it is very easy to access these packages and also get version information effectively.

"Nexus Repository Manager - Best Platform for storing and sharing software versions between teams"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonatype Nexus Repository?

The best thing I like about Nexus Repository Manager is that the version uploads are tracked transparently and provide details like the version number, file size, uploader, and usage information. Being from the Product team at ZS, I (or anyone else from the team) can download the latest versions uploaded by the Engineering team for UAT with only a couple of clicks, which is really desirable. It helps reduce the communication requirements between the Engineering, Testing, and Product teams significantly, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonatype Nexus Repository?

There is nothing in particular that I like about Nexus Repository Manager. Still, I would like to suggest some enhancements to the Repository Manager. A feature should be added to insert comments by different team members regarding the versions (in case there are bugs in the versions shared), and then these could be transparently viewed by all the members of the team. This would further help in reducing communication requirements within the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sonatype Nexus Repository:

I would recommend every Software team to use Nexus Repository Manager for version control. It helps understand the latest versions, the person who uploaded it, and also helps multiple people download the software simultaneously. Definitely one of the best code repositories to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sonatype Nexus Repository solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being from the Product team at ZS, I use Nexus Repository Manager to download the versions of the utilities uploaded by the Engineering team on the platform for UAT. I download these versions on my Local system, perform UAT on these, and share feedback with the Engineering team for required enhancements and/or bug fixes. In case of my absence, anyone else from my team can easily download the required version from Nexus and perform the UAT! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
