It has been working for us seamlessly for at least 10 years. We've never had an outage nor security issues or data losses of any kind. Billing is clear and timely. No regrets.

The packagecloud API and CLI tool are both easy to use and integrate with a CI, such as GitHub Actions, for automatically publishing built packages for users to install via a package management tool (apt/dnf). The packagecloud web UI is also an easy way to run one off actions, such as promoting packages from a testing/staging repo to a production repo.

Compelling and easy-to-use service. The documentation is good, the provided scripts help you greatly in the package upload and repo installation. And if you write to them the support is excellent, they try their best to accommodate all your requests.

There's quite a lot to like about Packagecloud - comprehensive, well-written documentation; powerful, well-organized API; a nice CLI tool; supports Debian packages (both binary and source, one of the few vendors in this space to do so); excellent support via email and slack.

When we were just getting started with the product, the team hopped on a call with us to get a better understanding of our needs and offered to help tailer custom packages to meet our developer needs. The team is extremely responsive for support and the platform has exceeded our expectations, would highly recommend it.

The simplicity and scope of Packagecloud.io is remarkable. You can package and distribute your applications for most Linux distributions regardless of the programming language you use. The options for continuous integration is also very complete. The website for management has a high integration ratio with the user experience, which makes it nice and easy to use. On the other hand, the documentation is simple, complete and very concise. I would like to point out that the Free subscription is very generous.

Simple, easy-to-use product. API and CLI enable package upload through automated CI/CD processes. A feature request I submitted received an immediate response and I was able to schedule a meeting with support and engineering to further define my request and identify possible interim solutions.

Packagecloud is a great piece of software, and it's great for enterprises and open-sourcers to set up a working repository in just a few minutes.Different from competitors, only Packagecloud is available on some services to maintain exclusivity.

Easy creation of Debian repository. Any other solution requires going through many steps or details, resulting in a poor result anyway.

It's easy, quick and effective. I have prior experience with Bintray, Artifactory and Packagecloud is by far the easiest of them. In just a few minutes, you have what you want: a working repository easy to set up for users. The website is plenty of documentation and it guides you through all the process. For businesses and open-sourcers it's great.

Packagecloud makes deploying package repositories simple. I am the TSC Chair of the FD.io Open Source Project. We publish deb and rpm packages as part of both our CI and release process for VPP (Vector Packet Processing) and other subprojects. Packageclouds easy to use API made integrating into our CI process easy and enjoyable. The breadth of language bindings allowed us to fit packagecloud into our process rather than molding our process to packagecloud. Prior to using packagecloud we'd tried other tools, like Nexus, for artifact hosting but they were a nightmare to work with and maintain. Packagecloud's hosted approach removed the headache of maintaining a repository. The thoughtful team mechanisms provided allowed us to provide just the right access to our CI processes and community members to get the job done. I cannot recommend Packagecloud highly enough.

We are using packagecloud.io with open-source plan for https://milter-manager.osdn.jp/ For every new milter-manager release, we don't need to maintain our own APT/YUM repository by ourselves anymore. As milter-manager is developed for a long time, the repository also contains many packages, it takes disk space a lot. Packagecloud.io provides enough disk spaces for keeping milter-manager repository. And one more thing, we don't need to maintain signing-key by ourself.

We have switched to packagecloud recently. The one feature I really like is the ability to "Promote" packages from one repository to the other. That allows us to test new packages much faster than ever before. We upload packages that are ready for testing to our Dev repository, and when we are ready to release it, it takes a single CLI command or a single click on the packagecloud web UI.

Simple to use interface and command-line tool that allows for us to quickly deploy our installation packages for all flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Raspbian for our clients. We used the command-line tool and integrated it into our CI server to quickly deploy these packages. They also include scripts that allow our users to install the repository to access our packages easily. Adding a new distro or version is as simple as updating our CI to deploy that new version, and it is immediately available.

Packagecloud allowed us to create an APT easily repository in a matter of minutes. Besides this, integrating with popular CI services like Travis CI allows us to continuously push updates to our users. I also welcome its web interface as it makes it really useful to manage a repository even when I'm not on my computer. Packagecloud offers usage statistics, and we can create as many repositories as we need. Their documentation was easy to follow and made moving to the service a breeze. The repositories are also signed with a GPG key. The API is pretty straightforward to use with Travis CI. Lastly, Packagecloud supports OSS projects, like ours, making it a no-brainer to start using it.

It took me literally a few seconds to set up a Ubuntu package repo, and the simplicity of the process was amazing. Pushing a package after creating a release in GitHub is easy using Actions and package_cloud CLI. I love the GUI of the repo which helps users to install and use the repo in a very simple way in no time.

Packagecloud is extremely easy to integrate with CI pipelines. We had three application pipelines reconfigured to push packages to packagecloud within a couple hours. Our users were enjoying the ease of download right away!

packagecloud is straightforward to use, works very reliable, and can easily be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline (see also https://www.get-edi.io/CI-and-CD-for-Debian-and-Ubuntu/).
