It gives engineering teams a unified control layer for every package, container, binary, and ML model moving through their software supply chain – across 30+ formats, with built-in policy enforcement and continuous security monitoring. Modern engineering teams assemble software more than they author it and AI agents pull in open source dependencies at a pace that exceeds ad hoc governance. Cloudsmith functions as a private registry that sits between public sources and your builds; It is the first place every artifact lands and where policy enforcement occurs before anything enters your environment. Splitting artifact management and security across disconnected tools causes teams to lose the consistent visibility and control they need to move fast – and with confidence. Cloudsmith replaces that complexity with a unified platform that scales with your organization. Built for platform engineering teams, security leads, and the engineering leaders who support them, Cloudsmith reduces the operational burden of managing artifact infrastructure, enforces governance consistently across every team and format, and gives organizations full traceability across their supply chain. * * * Product Website Cloudsmith Seller [Cloudsmith](https://www.g2.com/sellers/cloudsmith) Discussions [Cloudsmith Community](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudsmith/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Juliana Kelly Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Cloudsmith. ### Core Free Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudsmith/pricing) ## Cloudsmith Integrations (27) What do users say about integrations?

RL Ryan L. Lead developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/10/2025 "Best of the bunch" 3/5 What do you like best about Cloudsmith? Cloudsmith provides a simple UI to configure multiple internal and external repositories for various projects and repository types. We have some configured for our internal development uses and others for distributing artefacts and container images to customers. We moved to Cloudsmith from Sonatype Nexus repository OSS to gain support and move to a hosted solution. The onboarding was simple, and it was easy to get our CI pipelines integrated with the service. I particularly liked that Cloudsmith can handle the signing of RPMs, which previously was cumbersome and prone to breaking in our automated pipelines. The ability to throttle and limit individual entitlement tokens has also been a key tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudsmith? When we first started using Cloudsmith, on paper it seemed like it ticked a lot of boxes, with security scanning, audit logging and it would allow us to simplify all our disparate repository services into one. As we are a small ISV, we opted for the Pro plan, as $700 per month to host some artefacts seemed like a silly amount of money. We understood the usage-based limits of our plan; however, we quickly realised that many of the features we liked about Cloudsmith also required the next tier plan. Even things as simple as audit logs to identify excessive bandwidth use. Unfortunately, looking at the cost of artefact management solutions, it seems that this pricing is the norm. Whilst we like what Cloudsmith offers, the value for money doesn't quite stack up in the way it is currently priced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RPM signing and entitlement tokens are two deceptively powerful features and it's a thrill to hear how much value they're providing for your team.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudsmith? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudsmith 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Dan McKinney of Cloudsmith [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/cloudsmith-review-8990608/official_response/edit) Thank you very much for the feedback, this is super valuable for us and thanks for taking the time to write it! Hopefully, I can provide some additional information here that may be helpful: 1. An Entitlement Token in the URL is just one of the authentication methods that Cloudsmith supports. You can also use HTTP Basic Auth with a Username/API-Key, and interpolate these credentials from environment variables or a secret store - I've included a link to our docs on the different authentication options for Python package setup, just as an example. 2. We like to think that package discovery/searching is one of the strong points of Cloudsmith, and we don’t typically hear reports of UI slowness so this is something we are quite interested in and shall investigate further. 3. Having a single setup script for Debian or RedHat repositories is a great product suggestion and one that I can certainly pass on to our Product team. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback like this. We are always striving to improve Cloudsmith and it's very important to us that we are building the right things! We would love to hear more from you should you continue to use Cloudsmith and help us to build the world's best package management platform.
