"I have found IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager to be scalable."
"If there are any issues in build security, it can pick them up straight away."
"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."
"I onboarded .NET, then I onboarded JS. And about six or eight months back, I onboarded Python. And I am about to onboard Docker. The availability of integrations allows me to do this."
"While there aren't many features, they're all useful, particularly the ability to store and retrieve content, and to proxy all of the features that an enterprise repository manager should have."
"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."
"The searching capability is good... and we are managing multiple central repositories."
"The core features are the most important: We can host libraries, upload them, and they can be used across multiple teams."
"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 user interface of IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager could improve. You have to know the full UI before you can manage it properly."
"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'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."
"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."
"[A] main feature that is missing in Nexus IQ is the ability to explore the history of the different reports that have been generated for a given product. For the time being, in the Nexus IQ UI, we are only able to browse the latest reports that have been generated for a given product. It would be really useful for us to be able to go back in time by browsing through the reports and to have a tool that would give us the evolution of the metrics."
"They should have the ability to support multiple data centers. That is actual scalability and, in effect, high-availability."
"We feel that if the product could be configured more easily through configuration files, instead of API calls and databases, that would make it easier to integrate with other DevOps tools. This is one of the hurdles that we encountered when we tried to integrate Nexus 3 with our OpenShift installation."
"They should provide automation for adding container images and artifacts in compliance with security requirements."
"They could improve the user interface and REST APIs."
