I have used both Archiva and Artifactory. Artifactory is simple to use, install and configure and have a good ui (based on wicket). But here the reasons that make me change for the last Archiva (1.0-beta-1) - for me the main disadvantage is that the repository is save on a database and not in a maven 2 filesystem. So you must use the the web admin console to browse the repositories - The backup utilities have to be improve to allow to select wich repositories to backup - Purge of repositories is not yet released so the size of the repository increase rapidly - The major part of the repositories configuration is done in the xml configuration file and not through the gui
These 4 issues are already implemented in the last (1.0-beta-1) and that why we choose Archiva.
