I highly appreciate Cloudsmith for its simplicity and comprehensive support for all artifact types, including Docker, PyPI, npm, and even raw files, which eliminates the need to juggle multiple registries and thereby reduces complexity and increases efficiency. The platform's cloud-native, fully managed nature functions as a centralized hub for securing, controlling, and distributing software assets globally. Moreover, Cloudsmith's built-in security features, such as automatic vulnerability scanning, license checks, and policy enforcement, impressively eliminate the need for additional tools, ensuring robust protection against supply-chain security risks. I am also highly satisfied with the universal format support provided by Cloudsmith, accommodating over 30 different formats, simplifying artifact management, and improving visibility by consolidating scattered artifacts into a single, easy-to-access repository. The CDN-backed delivery network augments this by ensuring speedy and reliable access to artifacts on a global scale. Overall, Cloudsmith addresses fragmented artifact management issues by offering an integrated solution that greatly enhances the modern software delivery and DevOps processes.

We use Cloudsmith for several purposes, including as an artifact repository and as a private Helm Chart repository. Integrating Cloudsmith with our pipelines has been very straightforward, and its Helm Chart repository feature allows us to securely and easily provide our charts to customers. We push and pull our built artifacts to Cloudsmith daily, and so far, we have not experienced any issues or downtime. Up until today, I have never had to interact with the customer support, because I didn't need to.

What I like best about Cloudsmith is its support for a wide range of package formats like Docker, RPM, DEB, and more — it’s incredibly versatile and saves us time managing multiple repositories. I also really like the new web app; it's clean, modern, and intuitive to use, which makes everyday tasks much easier and more efficient. On top of that, having a direct Slack channel with the Cloudsmith developers has been incredibly helpful, their responsiveness and willingness to assist make a big difference.
