I like that Cloudsmith offers excellent customer support, they are very hands-on, easy to get hold of and respond quickly. Good performance for everyone wherever they are located, which is great. Cloudsmith allows us to effectively manage our security posture, including defining policies for handling malicious packages, open source licensing and more.

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.
