What is difference between artifactory and bintray?

The main difference between artifactory and bintray is in the intended usage. Artifactory is a development-time tool, while Bintray is a release, distribution-time tool.

For development you need features like:

• Support for snapshots
  
• CI servers metadata integration (a.k.a. build-info)
  
• Promotion between repositories
  
• on-prem install
  
• Development site replication
  
• Integration with enterprise security systems like SAML
  

For distribution you need stuff like:

• A global distribution network (CDN)
  
• Extreme throughput and redundancy for downloads
  
• Permission control for external users (entitlements)
  
• Product and EULA support
  

Common:

There are common requirements:

• Full REST API automation
  
• CLI
  
• Plugins for popular CI servers and build tools
  
• Indexing as much binary packages standards as possible
  
• "Set Me Up" snippets for easy configuration
  
• Smart checksum-based binary storage and of course there must be a simple way to roll out the artifacts from the development-time tool to the distribution tool (a repository in
• Artifactory that is synced with Bintray)
