MyGet

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

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

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

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 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

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

Easy of use, great permission management

Nachteile

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It does exactly what we need it to do. UI is clear.

Nachteile

Not able to execute unit tests with latest version of NUnit. Had to exclude testing of the MyGet build.

Vorteile

Easy to find the components I need to implement

Nachteile

For me it was complicated to understand the software philosophy. After it is rather easy to use

Vorteile

Works correctly. Fairly flexible once you get everything setup.

Nachteile

Expensive for feature set, especially storage capabilities.

Vorteile

Great Customer Support.
Several missing smaller features were implemented very quickly at our request.

Nachteile

The different versions of the API and they way they were presented occasionaly were confusing.

Vorteile

The simplicity to use it, to set up new feeds in various ways and the support for different systems and types of packages

Nachteile

Sometimes some more overview, events and search functionality would be good to have

Vorteile

Easy Deployment of software to our customer.

Nachteile

I cannot say that anything disturbed me.?All fine!
