The company I work for uses it for the same reasons as yours. We also have to use it to cache things like NPM and RPM packages. Without that caching, we would be putting a strain on public mirrors. We additionally have a layer of security because we have a system for approving which packages and package versions go into our cache.
They also have an XRay offering for scanning things like Docker containers for vulnerabilities, although for various reasons we do not use it. I wish we did! It would keep things integrated.
The main reason why we use Artifactory, though, is because it allows us to share artifacts across different regions and environments.
The one thing I don't like is how stingy jfrog is with their licenses. It makes automatic deployments of Artifactory a bit difficult for us. Their Mission Control offering isn't enough for the way we deploy Artifactory.
