I've evaluated 3 SOA Governance Registry and Repository packages thus far...

In my evaluation, I've looked at Mule Galaxy, AG Software CentraSite and IBM WSRR with Rational Asset Manager. I have to say that the decision of which RR is right for you really depends on your requirements. Just having to manage 100s or 1000s or services is not enough of a requirement. The maturity of your service model could also dictate which product is best for you.
