Cost effective and easy to integrate
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Cloudsmith to host our private Conan recipes and packages and it's been working great. We compared including JFrog but found Cloudsmith to be the most cost-effective for our needs.
It was easy to integrate into our existing workflows and ubiquitious once setup.
We had to reach out to support for an issue that arised from a particular use case we had for Cloudsmith and they were prompt to respond and have been keeping us updated through its resolution.

What do you dislike about the product?
We have been using it for about 8 months now and have not had any issues with Cloudsmith that would make us dislike it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using Cloudsmith to host our private Conan recipes and packages. We use github actions as part of our internal binary deployment and had the need for a cloudbased repository management to store our private recipes and packages.
Great ease of use, download stats a bit lacking
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith works really well for us as a multi-format repository. We store a mixture of docker images, RPMs, linux binaries in there for distribution to our customers. The customer token provisioning works well enough, and the API is pretty useful
What do you dislike about the product?
The download stats for Docker images aren't the best. They're per layer, and it makes it hard to work out what images customers are pulling. This makes our customer success team work harder than they need to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure distribution of software artefacts to end users
Very powerful artifact manager - near perfect enterprise ready solution
What do you like best about the product?
There is a huge amount of details to like, but on top of my list is definitely the extensive API side by side with the Terraform support.
This is closely followed by a documentation which is not only easy to use and has up to date content, but also has live action API integration, so no guesswork is needed to puzzle together curl commands as you can even test it directly from the documentation and will have a fully working query easy to copy and paste into your own scripts as required.
Combined with an easy to use interface and a very approachable support I would recommend it anytime!

What do you dislike about the product?
There is one thing missing for perfection: Custom user roles.
If it would be possible to assign users individual rights on specific areas, such as adding upstreams from a curated whitelist, or creating entitlement tokens or even OIDC entries, this would require far less administrative work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a central artifact management solution, does mitigate the risk of third party package providers not being available and adds am important additional layer of defense security wise.
Cloudsmith is a great alternative for open source projects
What do you like best about the product?
We use Cloudmith to host our open source builds for Vespa.ai. The service has proven reliable and is easy to use for our current purpose. Functional REST api makes it flexible in the way we can choose to integrate with Cloudsmith.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see better machine to machine integration instead of using API tokens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone that produce software need some kind of distribution mechanism. There are several vendors in this space that offer such products, but Cloudsmith is one of the most complete ones in terms of package format support. For our open source project at Vespa.ai (https://github.com/vespa-engine/vespa) Cloudsmith was the only one that could offer a free tier and support container registry, Maven repository and RPM repository. For our open source project Cloudsmith generously provides 50GB of storage and 200GB of transfer each month.
Decent partner
What do you like best about the product?
We use Cloudsmith for hosting our Dart/Flutter packages. So far the platform is stable and gives us everything we need. Both sales and customer support are very approachable and do a great effort to understand our situation and they come with good solutions for our problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
We ran into a small issue where the Dart/pub handling seems to be a bit different compared to pub.dev in case of pushing the same version of a package twice. However support provided a workaround and development is looking into a potential solution as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to have a central place to host our internal dart packages, there are not a lot of parties which provide that option.
Although the webui is not great, the overall product is functional
What do you like best about the product?
We can upload, download and delete packages. I like the way we can easily have different repositories and access them with the same TOKEN. Although, I would've prefered to not include that info in the URL. The webui is really simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searching for packages should be really easy to do but at the moment, it's painfuly slow. I thought it could be related to peaks but unfortuntelly I was wrong.
There are 2 different scripts to install CS repos. One for debian and another for redhat alike distros. That, IMO, is confusing. The detecction phase should be done by this single missing script.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to host all of our repositories on our own and we can manage them with ease
Comprehensively solves very current problems
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup an account and setup a first implementation/integration. Amazing support and features that solve issues many don't even realise are problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Was built for a specific usecase, and while flexible, it may take more effort to work arround issues present (at time of review) in the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing dependencies is difficult, security scanning these consistently is difficult. Cloudsmith makes it easy.
Cloudsmith great for managing python packages
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith has great CLI capabilities - we have Makefiles and scripts that run Cloudsmith CLI commands, and help us to quickly build, compile, and upload new versions of packages to Cloudsmith. We frequently have to build and update versions, so the CLI makes that easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The two-factor authentication method I have with Duo requires me to find a code, and type it in.
It'd be nice if like some other apps, it allowed me to get a push notification and just click approve, instead of having to go and find the code and type in 6 characters.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudsmith solves the problems of have a central package management system for us, where we can quickly build and upload new versions of packages, for multiple languages. We use Cloudsmith for multiple languages at my company - personally I've only use it for Python packages for my team, and it allows me to quickly upload versions of packages and download and use them in other repositories that rely on this package, so that we can modularize code and share it across repos easily.
It's awesome
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
We hit a few issues with rate limits in CI, but worked around them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Private npm hosting
A powerful tool for almost every workflow in software development
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsmith makes working with private repositories for all kinds of tech stacks easy. It is easy to setup and somewhat fast to get used to. We use it almost daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we still get some issues with stuff that was already working. It just stops working for an hour or two and works after a while again. Sometimes, integration into a new project can be a bit fiddely but you get used to all the different methods eventually.
I also had to regenerate my api key twice because everything broke. It was an easy fix, though.

Easy to access, integrate cloud storage which is ready to use for common tech stacks like docker or npm.
