Chose Azure Artifacts
Azure Artifact is based on GitHub which is the best artifact at all times. Helm is open source and we may have security concerns. Crucible is a good tool but does not of a lot of support. I prefer that Azure Artifact is a solid product and with a good gene from the GitHub …

Share codes and packages across the whole organization. We have developers most of the time work from home or overseas like in India. We can test and deploy the package when they deploy the new changes into the Azure Artifacts. Azure Artifact can promote our package to the correct system like DEV, UAT, or Production. It also provides retention policies to automatically clean up expired packages.

If you're working on some .NET Framework / .NET Core projects, there's no other real choice here. NuGet works well, the heavy reliance on built-in GUI makes it friendly & easy-to-learn for new people, especially those who haven't been used to dependency management topics.
