"I have found IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager to be scalable."
"The key benefit we get from it is speed to delivery. It has improved our overall time to get new applications out with new code. That's true whether from a platform perspective, where we are quickly deploying up-to-date docker containers, or whether we are looking to deploy new code out to deliver a new application."
"The most valuables features of the Sonatype Nexus Repository are you can block any uploads that you do not want. For example, from Maven. Even though someone will try to create a pump file with a package not currently in our repository, they can go and get it, but it won't store it into the Sonatype Nexus Repository and therefore won't be propagated across the enterprise."
"The searching capability is good... and we are managing multiple central repositories."
"Primarily, the extensive support for a wide range of packages is a crucial factor. The effectiveness of new-age package managers is often determined by the breadth of packages they can handle. In this regard, Nexus Repository Manager 3 stands out for its comprehensive coverage, accommodating a vast array of packages widely utilized across the globe. This inclusivity enables easy access to a diverse range of packages, making it a pivotal aspect of its functionality."
"One of the most valuable features is the variety of permissions you can use on the repository. That helps us protect access to the information inside of the repository."
"The most important feature of Nexus Repository Manager is the storing and sharing of components. For Nexus IQ, it's the scanning of projects and the rating of vulnerabilities and license violations that we may have in our products."
"For us, the ability to do proxying and federations of repositories is very important. It gives us flexibility. We are the largest physics research laboratory in the world. With 12,000 people, we need to have good solutions to federate organizations inside our lab."
"The primary feature is that I now have the ability to provide a central platform for storing build artifacts; a concise way for any project team to store its build with us."
"The user interface of IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager could improve. You have to know the full UI before you can manage it properly."
"I'm waiting for hot publication between several Nexus instances. That's more important for me right now because in our company we have several locations distributed all over the world, and each location is producing its own artifacts, sometimes for the same project. I really would appreciate a scenario where the developers could provide their data to the local repository and it would be hot-replicated to the other repository instances."
"When it comes to uploading NPM libraries, JavaScript dependencies libraries, it is a little bit of a convoluted process. They need to improve uploading libraries for NPM-type repositories."
"I would like to see them build in some scanning features out-of-the-box, as opposed to only getting them by buying the add-ons of Nexus IQ Server. I would like to see some level of ability to filter in the tool itself, through scanning the binaries in there."
"Particularly concerning OSF-type licenses, while they support a multitude of features, there's room for improvement in the single point transform, especially for grouping. It appears that currently, the grouping functionality is not robust, particularly for Docker images within a group. The support for this aspect seems to be contingent on the license type. For instance, with the Voss license type, there is a noticeable absence of support for this feature. This is an area that could benefit from enhancement in the upcoming updates."
"We had some issues with the container platform, but we raised a support ticket and it was sorted out for us."
"Lacks an end-to-end solution for developers to sign and store an image."
"They should have some feature where we can move a specific repository from one instance of Nexus to another instance of Nexus. As of now, this feature doesn't exist."
"They could improve the user interface and REST APIs."
