Compare Private Packagist with Satis

Highly available setup, Private Packagist uses redundant servers and runs in multiple geographical regions.

Satis is self-hosted, so reliability is up to you. Running multiple servers in multiple locations just to host your Satis may get quite expensive.

Supports user accounts, teams and access control on a per-package basis. Users and permissions can be synchronized with GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab.

No concept of authentication and you will need to build and maintain your own authentication mechanism.

Automatically mirror packages when you require them.

Manually add every package you want to mirror to its config file.

Supports webhooks to update package information and find new versions immediately when you push code.

Run a command to re-generate all JSON metadata which takes a long time with many packages, and is usually run as a cron command only a few times per hour.

Monitors your project dependencies for vulnerabilities and alerts you via email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or a custom webhook.

Not supported, you would need to build your own tool to monitor security vulnerabilities and send alerts.

Receive a human-readable comment summarizing composer.lock changes when updating your dependencies in a pull request.

Not supported, you would need to build your own tool which creates comments on your pull requests.
