About JFrog Artifactory
JFrog Artifactory is the core product of the JFrog Platform: a private repository that stores and proxies everything a build produces or downloads, from Maven, npm and PyPI packages to Docker images, Helm charts and machine-learning models. Caching public registries speeds up CI and protects builds when an upstream source goes down, and one tool covers dozens of package formats instead of a separate registry for each. The wider platform adds security scanning, release distribution and governance for AI assets. It is aimed at engineering organisations of all sizes, and is a long-standing default in large enterprises. JFrog sells it as a managed SaaS with monthly plans plus consumption charges, or as a self-managed install on annual contracts, with hybrid and multi-cloud setups on higher tiers. Self-managed and enterprise tiers are expensive, and the many add-ons make the pricing page hard to read.
Best for: Engineering teams that want one private registry for every package format, in the cloud or on their own servers.
