I maintain three popular open source projects, including an ISO/ITU-T reference implementation of the JPEG standard that is used by tens of thousands of developers and billions of end users every day as well as high-performance remote display software that is used by numerous corporations and academic institutions. packagecloud provides a convenient, stable, easy to use platform for hosting official RPM and DEB packages built from the releases of my software, which facilitates large-scale deployment. I particularly like the command line interface, which makes it possible to automatically push new packages to packagecloud whenever I push a new release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? The command line interface could use more features, such as an rsync-like feature that pushes only the changed packages from a specified set of files or a directory, the ability to list all packages (and their metadata) currently hosted in a repository, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I was previously using a file hosting site to self-manage a YUM repository, but that required me to update the metadata manually, and I wasn't able to host an APT repository for my many Ubuntu users.

Senior Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/13/2022 "It is very easy to have the repos there" 5/5 What do you like best about packagecloud? You only upload your deb or rpm, and the repo will be created automatically. \* The UI is easy to use \* It provides scripts for installing the repos in your machine. \* The price is fair Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? \* Sometimes, the repo takes time to refresh. \* They don't have 2FA, and for me is critical, someone could upload a fake package into my repo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I have a bunch of Linux distros that need their repo for customized packages.

GO Giorgio O. Senior Director Engineering - Data Science Innovation Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/10/2022 "Does the job" 4/5 What do you like best about packagecloud? It has been working for us seamlessly for at least 10 years. We've never had an outage nor security issues or data losses of any kind. Billing is clear and timely. No regrets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? With the move to the cloud, the various providers have alternatives to packagecloud which makes it basically obsolete as a standalone offering so we have been progressively moving out to reduce the number of services and partnerships we manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Storage or RPMs and other legacy artefacts which used to require an on-prem package-manager setup. However this can now easily be done directly in GitHub, AWS or Azure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The packagecloud API and CLI tool are both easy to use and integrate with a CI, such as GitHub Actions, for automatically publishing built packages for users to install via a package management tool (apt/dnf). The packagecloud web UI is also an easy way to run one off actions, such as promoting packages from a testing/staging repo to a production repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? A nice addition would be a way to prune old package versions in a repo from the web UI, or the ability to set a retention policy on how many old versions should be kept. Currently we use the API to achieve this behaviour, as described in this blog post: https://blog.packagecloud.io/api/2015/07/06/pruning-packages-using-the-API/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Packagecloud allows us to publish new versions of our open source project directly to users when a new release is built.

Compelling and easy-to-use service. The documentation is good, the provided scripts help you greatly in the package upload and repo installation. And if you write to them the support is excellent, they try their best to accommodate all your requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? They do not accept Paypall as a payment system. Those will help automate the payment and directly connect the company bank account to simplify the taxes document collection since we are in the EU zone. A lot of mail for review requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Since we are a small company with packagecloud we do not have to handle our own repository server. This way, we can focus more on the actual code for our product.

There's quite a lot to like about packagecloud: \* comprehensive, well-written documentation \* powerful, well-organized API \* a nice CLI tool \* supports Debian packages (both binary and source, one of the few vendors in this space to do so) \* excellent support via email and slack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? \* In the early days, there were some bugs in and around some of the darker corners of the Debian policy on package repositories. I pursued some bug reports and they were addressed. \* The CLI tool is implemented in ruby (not my first language) and requires a runtime I don't usually install. \* The non-SSO authorization is token-centric which might be a bad fit for some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? The problem statement is simple: How do I distribute my private and/or proprietary software artifacts to those that need them? The solution brought by Packagecloud allows me to publish, host, and distribute my artifacts in a straightforward manner with all the specificity and granularity that I desire.

When we were just getting started with the product, the team hopped on a call with us to get a better understanding of our needs and offered to help tailer custom packages to meet our developer needs. The team is extremely responsive for support and the platform has exceeded our expectations, would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity and scope of PackageCloud.io is remarkable. You can package and distribute your applications for most Linux distributions regardless of the programming language you use. The options for continuous integration is also very complete. The website for management has a high integration ratio with the user experience, which makes it nice and easy to use. On the other hand, the documentation is simple, complete and very concise. I would like to point out that the Free subscription is very generous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
