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.

Packagecloud supports a good variety of packages and languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? User management has room to improve. We have to add individual users as collaborators. There is no restriction on username. Hard to tell who is who when people gets creative on their username. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy creation of Debian repository. Any other solution requires going through many steps or details, resulting in a poor result anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/21/2021 "Nice to use deb/rpm repository hosting (with open-source plan)" 4/5 What do you like best about packagecloud? We are using packagecloud.io with open-source plan for https://milter-manager.osdn.jp/ For every new milter-manager release, we don't need to maintain our own APT/YUM repository by ourselves anymore. As milter-manager is developed for a long time, the repository also contains many packages, it takes disk space a lot. packagecloud.io provides enough disk spaces for keeping milter-manager repository. And one more thing, we don't need to maintain signing-key by ourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? We are very satisfied with packagecloud.io. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Before migrating to packagecloud.io, we used sourceforge.net. At that time, we maintained APT/YUM repository on sourceforge.net, but it was not reliable because they changed the download URL sometimes without enough announcement in advance. We need to follow-up those changes time to time. By using packagecloud.io, we can keep consistency for maintaining repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/28/2021 "Easy to use yum/deb repository manager" 4/5 What do you like best about packagecloud? Simple to use interface and command-line tool that allows for us to quickly deploy our installation packages for all flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Raspbian for our clients. We used the command-line tool and integrated it into our CI server to quickly deploy these packages. They also include scripts that allow our users to install the repository to access our packages easily. Adding a new distro or version is as simple as updating our CI to deploy that new version, and it is immediately available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about packagecloud? The only dislike is that one package can support multiple versions of a distro, and this is not something you can do with Packagecloud. Having Packagecloud handle this requires us to push several copies of the package to our repository. We handle this in our CI server, but it would be nicer to "deploy" with a single upload to multiple repositories at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Using Packagecloud has allowed us to move away from having users download and manually install our binaries into their server to access our software. Several things could go wrong when you have users doing something, but being able to have our package install like any other Linux package has made it easier for our clients to install the software. This has taken a lot of support work off us and has let us focus our efforts elsewhere, as we do not need to maintain our own repository server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
