Comment (by jive):

 Answering your question *What does sonatype do additional that jfrog
 doesn't that would be a possible need?*

 Frog artifactory:

 * https://jfrog.com/open-source/
 * personal experience: easier administration screens to manage
 * Only supports java projects (Maven, Gradle and Ivy)
 * Used by repo.boundlessgeo.com (after a poor experience with cloud
 hosting)

 Nexus:

 * https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype
 * personal experience: more complicated administration screens
 * This is the clear choice for OSGeo as it offers capabilities for more
 than just java projects (docker images, node packages, ruby, python, go,
 etc...)
 * Used by eclipse foundation (with their strong emphasis on control),

 I have personally used both as an administrator (not installing but
 managing).
