Managed, Enterprise solution of Argo CD from the creators of the Argo open source project
4
Overview
The Akuity Platform is an Enterprise solution for Argo CD from the creators of Argo open source project. It offers a unique, distributed architecture that increases security and provides exponentially greater scalability- up to tens of thousands of applications can run on a single instance/control plane.
Argo Project is a suite of open source tools for deploying and running applications and workloads on Kubernetes. It extends the Kubernetes APIs and unlocks new and powerful capabilities in application deployment, container orchestration, event automation, progressive delivery, and more.
Akuity is rooted in Argo, extending its capabilities and using the same familiar user interface. The platform will solve real-life DevOps use cases using battle-tested patterns packaged into a product with the best possible developer experience.
Features include:
Hybrid Agent-based Architecture Akuity doesn't need secrets nor even direct access to your Kubernetes clusters. Thanks to an agent-based architecture, the clusters connect to the Argo control plane and not the other way around.
Built-in Auditing Log, store, and analyze all the important events that took place inside your Argo CD control plane. Increase discoverability of any security liabilities and react instantly.
Disaster Recovery and High Availability Control plane is configured with high availability out-of-the-box and configurations are backed up frequently. No need to recreate your Argo CD configuration after your cluster goes down.
Argo CD Upgrades and Security Patches Decide which Argo CD version you want to run and Akuity will ensure that your clusters will be seamlessly updated or downgraded to it. This also includes applying security patches right after their release.
Traffic reduction Akuity reduces traffic between the Argo control plane and your Kubernetes clusters by at least 80%. This enables you to manage all the edge clusters without worrying about the bandwidth limit, and save money from the start.
Built-in Autoscaler With a built-in and configured autoscaler, your Argo CD will be automatically tuned to accommodate the ever changing size of managed infrastructure with the guarantee of high performance.
Change Promotion Orchestration Forget about pipelines and workflows. Model the delivery of application changes in a more granular, environment-specific way that eschews the simple notion of a "pipe," wherein something always enters one end and emerges from the other.
Basic Settings Management Manage the basic Argo CD settings from Akuity dashboard in a declarative way - customize your Argo CD in a flash.
Argo CD Notifications Configure your Argo CD notifications using Akuity's intuitive user interface.
Deployment Metrics and History Store and analyze your deployment metrics inside the Akuity. Troubleshoot failed deployments and gather metrics regarding every single deployment.
Argo CD Extensions Catalog Enable such crucial Argo CD extensions as Argo Rollouts UI and Argo Metrics with one click.
More than UI - Akuity API / CLI Explore more ways of automating and integrating Akuity with your tools and apps by using Akuity API and CLI.
Highlights
- Increased Security: The Akuity Platform has an agent-based architecture, allowing the cluster to connect to the Argo control plane (not the other way around). Secrets stay safe inside the Kubernetes clusters.
- Highly scalable: Open-source ArgoCD will break, it's a matter of when, not if. Akuity's unique distributed architecture installs an agent into each cluster, allowing tens of thousands of applications to seamlessly and reliably run on a single instance/control plane.
- Continuous Promotions: As the creators of the Kargo open-source project, we've created a new category focused on increasing developer productivity and experience, while lessening the operational overhead of growing engineering teams on DevOps and Platform teams. Our Promotion tool standardizes the promotion process between environments/stages, includes automation, and gives developers a UI to monitor statuses and progress.

GitOps platform has transformed our deployments and now delivers thousands of apps in hours
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Akuity Platform provides us with an enterprise-grade delivery platform with a single control plane and helps us to scale up using a GitOps strategy, which is why we use it inside our infrastructure.
In our daily work, we specifically use Akuity Platform because we have a lot of nodes and pods for our system, and it helps us to maintain GitOps infrastructure within the EKS cluster, reducing the onboarding time from days to just an hour for our thousands of applications. This helps us achieve secure, consistent GitOps at scale with lowered operational overhead.
Our main use case for Akuity Platform was to implement GitOps in our deployment strategy to make the operational overhead seamless, and it is doing a wonderful job for us.
How has it helped my organization?
Akuity Platform has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the overall onboarding time from days to hours for thousands of applications, achieving secure, consistent GitOps at scale. It is also excellent for multi-cluster and multi-application delivery at an enterprise scale, which is a feature we are still implementing, but the performance it shows is really great.
I have seen from the impact of Akuity Platform that I used to take a lot of time to deploy the latest applications earlier, but now I am able to deploy applications within seconds. My overall SLA has been reduced significantly, so by onboarding Akuity Platform, I achieved a lot.
What is most valuable?
The best features Akuity Platform offers in my experience are simplicity, which we loved, along with scalability and being completely centralized. The governance and compliance features are really cool compared to other platforms, and due to the simplicity, I can easily onboard and deliver the product to the client really quickly.
The centralized control and compliance features of Akuity Platform have helped our team greatly because we have one control plane which can handle thousands of applications spanning across multiple clusters, reducing the operational overhead. This is one of the main constraints that Argo CD instances provide. Centralized governance is available because logging, auditing, metric history, and promotional workflows can be solved by GitOps, helping us fulfill compliance accordingly. The simplicity is minimalistic with not too much eye-exhausting dashboards, which helped us reduce traffic by eighty percent, making it a great product.
What needs improvement?
Akuity Platform can be improved by needing a bit more maturity on multi-environment strategies, and we are currently configuring it while facing some difficulties with the documentation. From a perspective of support feedback, it is a bit slow, so I would like them to fix that and make it more seamless. They need to work on making the documentation regarding deploying Terraform templates seem less outdated.
Regarding the needed improvements of documentation for Akuity Platform, I think it needs to be much more like how HashiCorp Terraform specifies the documentation, with a simplified structure and minimalistic approach, giving example solutions and clearly outlining how to integrate using Terraform, especially with multi-environment strategies. This should be more detailed compared to the current documentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Akuity Platform for the last one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Akuity Platform is definitely stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Akuity Platform is really great because I am able to manage it on EKS.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Akuity Platform is a bit slow, and they need to improve on that.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously managed our deployments using Helm charts, which sometimes became clumsy as the developers faced continuous issues while deploying. Switching to Akuity Platform was a decent upgrade.
How was the initial setup?
I chose eight out of ten for Akuity Platform because there was a bit of slack off on customer support and documentation, which is why I did not go for ten out of ten. If those areas improve, I may give ten out of ten in the future. The product is solid and deserves at least eight.
What about the implementation team?
I purchased Akuity Platform through the AWS Marketplace .
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with Akuity Platform as it helped me save operational overhead, which resulted in cost savings on my manpower. It was definitely worth the investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Akuity Platform was that it was a bit expensive, but overall, I felt that was acceptable. If it can be reduced, that would be great.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Akuity Platform, I did not evaluate other options, as I found Akuity Platform at KubeCon India, loved it, and had discussions with them before starting to utilize it.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Akuity Platform is to take a proof of concept and test it out. I think you will love it. I gave this review a rating of eight out of ten.
