Summary

JFrog Artifactory and AWS CodeArtifact are compared in the context of artifact management solutions, highlighting key differences in their capabilities and suitability for various use cases. Artifactory, established as the first universal artifact management solution, supports over 30 package types and offers comprehensive features such as a generic repository type, virtual repositories, and a built-in security scanning tool through JFrog Xray. In contrast, AWS CodeArtifact, which is integrated with the AWS ecosystem, supports only four technologies and lacks certain features like cloud-native artifact management and extensive metadata tracking. While CodeArtifact may appeal to small teams within a mono-cloud AWS environment due to its integration with AWS services and free tier options, Artifactory's extensive support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, granular access control, and repository management make it a robust choice for larger enterprise-level users with diverse and complex needs. Both solutions offer integrations with CI/CD and DevOps tools, but Artifactory provides a broader range of integrations and a single pane of glass for workflow automation. Pricing models differ, with CodeArtifact charging based on usage and Artifactory offering subscription plans with included storage and data transfer.
