MyGet

Vorteile

It is simple to use, supports a large number of programming languages, and comes with built-in instructions that developers may utilise to enhance user experience. Its user-friendly interface enables me to do my file management and organising activities more quickly and easily; also, the fact that I can control everything from the cloud greatly reduces the risk of overtaxing my computer.

Nachteile

All of the functions that MyGet offers are not being fully utilised. We continue to use the services provided by our SaaS SourceCode supplier for internal development feeds. The majority of our new developers were unfamiliar with the user interface because it is a little dated.

Vorteile

MyGet has revolutionized how I've done consulting. I used to use Git subrepos to bring code into projects, since I didn't want to put NuGet packages in a public place. Now that I have pioneered using MyGet, a company with whom I work is pulling together all of our Maven, NuGet, and npm packages. The administration and delivery for MyGet is awesome, and uploading packages is mostly pretty easy. For the money, this is a no-brainer for the organization: we can deliver packages to clients without everybody having access to source code. I love it.

Nachteile

It took me some time to figure out how to get the permissions set up. There is a way to get a pre-authorized URL, which I would prefer not to do. However, I've seen NuGet have some trouble authenticating from QA machines. I don't have an answer for that, but I feel authorization could be a little more clear.

I would love to see a Docker registry! I went with MyGet over GitHub's package manager because we don't use GitHub for anything else, but it was a close call. I hear that MyGet is working on Docker registries. At that point, I believe MyGet will satisfy more than my needs...like all of my wants, too.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu MyGet

Vorteile

You have feeds and can segregate artifacts

Nachteile

Admin - password reset does not work. You reset password email does not get sent.Dont know if you have a threshold and are about to hit the limit.Get the impression changes are not real time

Vorteile

We needed as easy to setup and consume private nuget feed. We found that in MyGet.

Nachteile

Honestly, since all we were looking for was a private nuget feed that we didn't have to host, MyGet had everything that we wanted. I haven't encountered a gap in features.

Vorteile

MyGet lets us build and store our private npm packages, as well as keep a copy of every dependency we use so we are protected from another leftpad incident. We are also able to protect ourselves from an old dependency being taken over by a malicious maintainer.

Nachteile

It's hard to update dependencies of dependencies of dependencies. (3 levels deep). 2nd level dependencies are easily updated.

Vorteile

Good for private or public libraries
Supports the major package managers
Easier to set up than Nuget
Cost effective and no-brainer for most organizations and teams who want a quick way to share their libraries internally

Nachteile

Documentation could have clearer screenshot resolution

Vorteile

MyGet is used within Dangl IT GmbH as a central source for all our deployed packages, thus allowing us to structure our software projects logically and reuse existing code where applicable.

Nachteile

So far, we haven't had any problems with MyGet, it works as expected. We would like to see the addition of upstream sources, since we've never been able to get this working, but this is a low priority for us at the moment.

Vorteile

MyGet enables us to quickly deliver shared code base (100+ packages) to all of our teams. The setup is really easy, adding a new user consists of sending an email invite, generating the pre authenticated url and voilà (no msdn subscription or such needed)

Nachteile

Nothing, we absolutely like everything about this product.

Vorteile

Setting up an account and getting up and running with MyGet is fairly easy. It's clear to see that it's a tool that makes your life easier when publishing your packages.

Nachteile

When I first started using it the navigation between your projects/packages and its versions didn't feel natural to me. But it was just a 5 minutes thing to learn how things are structured in the app, and then you overcome the issue.

Vorteile

MyGet manages software packages, it works well as SaaS for us.

Nachteile

as MyGet goes offline sometimes, I'd like to see on-prem active backup option.

Vorteile

I will think later on if our issue gets resolved.

Nachteile

Customer support is pathetic. We got impacted on prod environment but no solution for weeks.At least team should let us know if we are doing something wrong while pushing packages.

Vorteile

Was easy to add symbols to repos and configure Visual Studio to use.

Nachteile

On rare occasions it takes some time for uploaded nugets to appear available to use.

Vorteile

* Very easy to use management console.
* Can deploy and publish a NuGet package in 5 minutes.
* Very simple and clear configuration.
* No extra restrictions.

Nachteile

* The hierarchical structure of the repository is confusing. If the menu structure is organized, the problem will disappear.
* The pricing structure needs to be a bit more segmented, with a level where entry-level users do not hesitate to pay. free use is available for OSS use, which is great, but capacity restrictions are tight. Even if they want to pay to avoid this restriction, the current `Developer` seems expensive for OSS and hobby use.

Vorteile

My team has been using MyGet for several years now. Before using MyGet we had a hodgepodge of homegrown private package repositories and it was a burden on our team to maintain them. Integrating MyGet into our toolstack and build servers was seamless and painless. Our team recouped valueable time after migrating to MyGet and was able to use that saved time towards actually writing our software. I'd say the best feature of MyGet is the wide support for different package sources.

Nachteile

I wish there was a way to do Single Sign On through either SAML2P, Shibboleth or CAS. That's probably the only feature lacking right now that we really want. MyGet recently, in the grander scheme of things, implemented 2FA and that was a really big win for us.

Vorteile

Easy to set up, easy to use, and generally low cost. We got our feed set up and didn't touch it for a long time.

Nachteile

At some point late 2020 our artifact size went over 100MG per build. We started getting rejections when trying to post it. The error message was clear, we needed to pay for more capacity. Ok, no problem.

So we paid for more capacity...and the error didn't go away. We gave it a few days, still didn't correct itself. Contacted support. They made a ticket but there was no progress. This goes on for months. We are manually uploading builds this whole time (while paying the increased rate!). Support keeps saying they can't help personally, they don't know when someone who can will look at it, and that's it. It totally sucked.

Vorteile

It contains all the packages and provides you a very easy approach to use them. you can use any language to write your code and need any kind of packages in your program, you can simply go for MyGet.

Nachteile

Yes, you can't expect everything in a single product or tool. So here also we have some of the things which need to be overcome like:- customization of MyGet with other tolls or products, it is really very hard to customize it and also it would be great if it can come up with some scripts.

Vorteile

The service itself seems to be very reliable.

Nachteile

The customer service is almost non-existent. We had a week and a half outage trying to get issues fixed with billing after the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] of our license left the company. There's no contact number for support or billing, and we were only receiving one email per day while trying sort out the issue. This should have been a pair of 15 minute phone calls. In the end, we restored functionality by taking over the absent admin's work email and resetting his password then transferring the nuget feed back to the defunct admin's account. MyGet billing and support was less than useless in fixing this problem since their poor response times helped drag this out.

Vorteile

In our company we have a few technology stacks, MyGet has become a single repository of our dependencies that can accommodate various type of feeds (NPM, NuGet and Bower)

Nachteile

Separate user management and MyGet is managing separate identity (although SSO is setup) which cause ex-employees remain have access to the feeds.

Vorteile

It was very easy to sign up and setup. We combine github, teamcity, MyGet, and Octopus Deploy to give us an automated build and deploy process. We also use MyGet as a source for our own custom written chocolatey packages. MyGet also allows for easy management for example, configuring retention rules, marking favourite package versions, or upgrading the subscription levels.

Nachteile

It would be good to have an api to mark favourite builds to keep without having to log into the portal. For example so when we deploy a production release we can have an octopus deploy step which marks the packages used in that deployment as a favourite build so they arent cleared away automatically by the retention rules.

Vorteile

It’s a NuGet feed I don’t need to set up and maintain.

Nachteile

I only need NuGet feed functionality. Updated plans include a lot of other stuff I will never use, but will be paying for and they don’t include nearly as much storage capacity for the same money.
Attempts to update the plan failed... it just wasn’t working at all.
Over the last few months there have been several major outages that paralysed our workflow for considerable time.
The service seems to be poorly designed in terms of availability judging by explanations of the issues in Twitter.

Vorteile

MyGet has a very good interface for looking at your feeds. The API works. They just (March of this year 2020) added snupkgs support which is nice, but they're are a few competitors which have had this for a while. While this is true with most private package registries, the registration and authentication for your registry is very simple.

Nachteile

The biggest difficulty for us with MyGet is their up-time. We depend on MyGet for a majority of our builds so when MyGet is down, most of our builds are down. This hit us ESPECIALLY hard during a release where we had the majority of a day (in November 2019) where we couldn't build. We actually moved some of our packages to GitHub Packages for the day so we could continue for a bit.

As of 2018, new features (or at least posts about new features) have died down a bit. They appear to be either slowing down in new development or just simple not communicating as much.

Vorteile

MyGet is great to work with Software dependencies and package management between different members in a development team. It is very easy to create/share private NuGet feeds. I also like the feature that you are able to create private repositories and it's Integration with Visual Studio Team services while working in a .net environment, thereby lessening load for DevOps working your organization. It is easy, fast and secure to use.

Nachteile

The User Interface is not very informative about the features it has to offer. It can sometimes be an overhead to manage your packages in a different platform but it is definitely worth the effort.

Vorteile

I've used myget in 2 different organizations and both of them got away from it.
I think that the main reason is that myget is just about package managment . But there are other tools who do a lot more. So they prefer to use a single tools to save money and avoid using multiple tools within the same organization

Nachteile

that it lets you overwrite an existing version of a package. it was always a problem that we had to solve on our side. you should have some kind of option that would deny an existing package to be overwritten later on with a package with the same name and version

Vorteile

Since our company relies on visual studio for c# and npm for js packages managing all differently for all the parts was too difficult then my friend told me about MyGet and my life is awesome now
best part is ease of use
just nothing to do at all for any thing

Nachteile

Some times integrations is tricky and makes thing complicated auditing also fails at times

Vorteile

The ability to host a curated feed to our users. This was essential as it gave them a much needed shield from all the noise in communal package managers.

Nachteile

Literally nothing relative to the core of the product itself.

Some basic features such as changing the logo of the feed feel like they should be easy to change. However reaching out through support was not a great way to put you directly in touch with the development team.

Vorteile

I really appreciate a centralised registry allowing us to host packages for several languages such as node.js (NPM) and .NET (NuGet).
Authentication and publication is pretty straightforward, once tooling is in place with for instance semantic-release, it is as easy as merging PR to master to get a new version up and running.

Nachteile

The administration of feeds could be a bit simplified.
We have a feed that is owned by one of our administrator, but the subscription is linked to our client.
The issue is that forwarding ownership // subscription, if I understand it correctly require to reset the payment method, which is something tricky in our case...
I would like more flexibility in the subscriptions, to be able to forward ownership without risking to lose the plan even temporarily.

Vorteile

Easy of use, great permission management

Nachteile

Well, everything is okay. Maybe UX could be more recent :)

Vorteile

very like nuget and supported correctly by visual studio for developpers locally

Nachteile

the product is generally good, but their marketing has to be improved

Vorteile

I can use private nuget feeds, but I can do that anyway with Azure DevOps.

Nachteile

You do not maintain your documentation or your plugins. I can't seem to get this to work with Visual Studio 2022.

Vorteile

We use MyGet as a mirror for chocolatey packages.

Nachteile

The support from the helpdesk is not very good.

Vorteile

Nothing I can find at this moment since I have used

Nachteile

When I need help, it is very hard to get support from the customer support. No Phone#, email is not response, chat support is never connected

Vorteile

• the approach with the pre-authenticated feeds is great since it simplifies the access in CI/CD scenarios
• legacy subscriptions are still active, thank you!

Nachteile

• a little bit immature UI, but this is a pretty minor thing

Vorteile

If you have a large/medium prj with reusable components/libraries and a distributed team, MyGet is the place where shares anything needed easily.

Nachteile

Perhaps a more flexible cost plan, like a "per user"... even if I can understand that it is not so easy to take it under control.

Vorteile

I don't think about MyGet very much. There's a good reason for that. I set it up, and it just works.

Nachteile

So far, there's nothing not to like and we use it every day.

Vorteile

MyGet does where it's built for, delivering nuget packages via a private feed. It's fast and reliable.

Nachteile

The backend to setup feeds isn't really UI and UX friendly.

Vorteile

What i like most about MyGet is that its always available. We have used it for many years every single day and NEVER had any issues with it. Pricing is also resonable.

Nachteile

I dont have any complaints. It fits our needs perfectly.

Vorteile

Clarity of the console, reliability. Account management.
Handling repositories like npm.

Nachteile

Layout could be more consistency. I think chat contact is a great idea.

Vorteile

It's very easy to set up build services that trigger from a cloud-based git repository like Bitbucket.

Nachteile

Customer service response times are not very good for a product that's mission-critical to my release pipleline.

Vorteile

MyGet supports all our needs while costing less than other viable alternatives. The ability to host more types of packages is a good plus point and we''ll most likely utilize it later. All in all MyGet has really helped us maintain parts of our operation easier than just having dependencies locally or in git.

Nachteile

Setting up took a little time since we already had quite a bit of software using local dependencies, but that is not a weakness of MyGet. There is not much to dislike since it has been mostly smooth sailing. I do wish package retention rules allowed for more flexibility and granularity, currently it is a bit too easy to have retention rules remove released and used packages instead of snapshot or release candidates.

Vorteile

Updating my packages automatically from a git commit is stellar. Very few people need to understand the setup only source control.

Nachteile

It is not always obvious why a build did not trigger (such as from a commit). I have also found that Visual Studio will sometimes refuse to install the packages if it finds the dependencies even slightly confusing.

Vorteile

Easy to setup and maintain. Pretty much stays out of your way and requires very little maintenance.

Nachteile

It's slow to get new features that one could find in a public repository like NuGet.org.

Vorteile

This was incredibly simple - even I could set up and use my NuGets!

Nachteile

Only a two week trial - holidays got in the way (a week gone before I could start testing)
Although my NuGets kept working!

Vorteile

MyGet is very easy to use. It incorporates well with our projects initially. We started with the free trial, but then we upgraded to the paid subscription version to better fit our team needs.

Nachteile

The overall performance is quite bad. Uploading and downloading speed is significantly slower than expected. We also have issues with throttling without advanced noticed that break our projects and require us to build in unnecessary mitigation. Customer support was non-existent at the time.

Vorteile

MyGet is a unique service that provides hosted private package management for almost every platform available. It's amazing, easy to use and a great price

Nachteile

Nothing really at all. Their support is amazing and their offerings are awesome.

Vorteile

NuGet Package reference made easy- easy to update latest references

Nachteile

i am not a pro user, so not sure what can be improved

Vorteile

- Easy to implement and configure
- Huge amount of packages supported
- Very responsive customer service
- Package vulnerability scans

Nachteile

- Lack of reporting capabilities like package size over time, vulnerabilities found over time, most/least used packages, etc

Vorteile

MyGet is really easy to use, and we were up-and-running with a full NuGet feed within minutes. We didn't have the staff or the resources to dedicate to hosting our own feed, so it was great to have a solution that just worked without having to spend too much time or money setting it up.

Nachteile

I don't have any issues with the software at all; We use it to do one thing, and it does that thing well - and has done for years.

Vorteile

- I can use it for free.
- It supports importing NPM, Pypi, Nuget and Maven packages.
- I can update packages without updating version numbers.

Nachteile

Not like pypi.org, I can't upload multiple Python wheel packages, which are built for different platforms, in the same version number.

Vorteile

You can start publishing nugets easily, and share the repo with the rest of your team in minutes.

Nachteile

So far I don't have any issues with the platform.

Vorteile

This product just works, it's easy to use and the feeds never really lag.

Nachteile

Feeds can get a bit slow during peak hours
