See why teams moving away from JFrog Artifactory, whether self-hosted, Artifactory cloud, or GitHub Artifactory workflows, are choosing Cloudsmith as their Artifactory alternative. ## Why choose Cloudsmith over Artifactory competitors? Instead of wrestling with setup headaches, performance issues, hidden add-ons, or unreliable UX, Cloudsmith gives you an enterprise-ready, fully managed alternative to JFrog - designed to keep artifact management simple, scalable, and secure. ### Truly modern cloud-native artifact management - no instances, no headaches Unlike JFrog Artifactory cloud or self-hosted instances, Cloudsmith delivers artifact management as a fully managed, cloud-native service with no infrastructure to provision, patch, or maintain. Among Artifactory competitors, Cloudsmith is the only platform built cloud-native from day one. ### Global performance, proven uptime, elastic by design Cloudsmith’s fully managed, cloud-native architecture, with a globally distributed edge network, delivers consistently fast artifact access wherever your teams and pipelines run. Unlike legacy tools that rely on static, self-managed instances, Cloudsmith scales elastically to handle changes in demand without degradation. With proven uptime, built-in resilience, and zero operational overhead, Cloudsmith adapts as your needs evolve - no manual intervention required. For teams evaluating Artifactory cloud performance against a true SaaS alternative, Cloudsmith consistently wins on speed and uptime. ### Stay ahead of emerging threats with built-in governance As software supply chain threats evolve, so must your approach to governance. - something JFrog Artifactory's bolt-on security model wasn't designed to handle natively. Cloudsmith brings security, compliance, and governance into every stage of the software supply chain with native Enterprise Policy Management. Define and automate rules for access, provenance, retention, and more, at scale, in code, and aligned with your internal policies. It’s governance that meets developers where they are, without the friction of manual oversight or bolt-on tools. ### A better developer experience, from day one and beyond Every detail of Cloudsmith is designed with developers in mind—from onboarding to daily workflows.
