Akuity is the enterprise software delivery platform built by the creators of Argo CD and Kargo. Deploy applications, promote releases, and operate software with the context and controls your teams and AI agents need for production.
4.4
Overview
Akuity is the enterprise software delivery platform built by the creators of Argo CD and Kargo. Teams use it to deploy applications, promote releases across environments, and investigate production issues.
Platform teams define delivery workflows, permissions, and approval requirements. Application teams use those workflows to deploy, promote, and troubleshoot with fewer handoffs.
Deploy applications using GitOps and promote releases from development through staging to production, with the approval requirements configured for each workflow. Inspect application health, deployed versions, and delivery history to understand what is running and what changed.
Use AI agents built into Akuity to investigate issues and carry out operational tasks or runbooks, subject to their configured tool policies.
The Agentic Control Plane connects the AI agents teams already use through Akuity MCP, giving them delivery context and tools within configured permissions and controls. Existing approval requirements apply where configured. Changes to managed state made through MCP are attributed and logged.
Centralized access management, SSO, managed delivery infrastructure, and expert support help platform teams oversee delivery at scale.
Highlights
- Standardize delivery: Deploy applications with GitOps and promote releases across environments. Platform teams define workflows and approval requirements so application teams can ship with fewer handoffs.
- Operate with context: Inspect application health, deployed versions, and delivery history. Use AI agents built into Akuity to investigate issues and run operational tasks under their configured tool policies.
- Connect your AI agents: Use Akuity MCP to give existing agents delivery context and tools within configured permissions and controls. Changes to managed state made through MCP are attributed and logged.

50 Applications | ArgoCD applications. 50 applications in unit | $250.00 |
Dimensions summary
You buy this platform through two separate units that you combine to match your needs. The Argo CD Instances unit covers managed Argo CD instances, each with unlimited users and clusters. The 50 Applications unit adds capacity in blocks of 50 Argo CD applications. You scale by adding more instance units and more application blocks as your deployment grows. The two dimensions are independent, so you size instances and application capacity on their own. This is a contract purchase, so you commit to the quantities you select for the term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
An Argo CD Instance is a managed control plane you create from the dashboard. Each instance includes unlimited users and unlimited connected Kubernetes clusters. You add another instance unit for each separate managed control plane you need to run.
The application unit adds capacity in blocks of 50 Argo CD applications. You add more application units to grow beyond your current count. Instances and application blocks scale independently, so you raise application capacity without adding instances.
Both units bill separately and add together on one contract. The instance unit covers each managed control plane. The application unit covers deployed applications in blocks of 50. Teams running many applications per instance see application blocks weigh more; teams needing many separate control planes see instances weigh more.

Improved daily delivery has streamlined workflows and saved time for developers and operations
Reviewed on May 24, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Akuity Platform is our main platform for CI/CD, as all deployment and everything is done on Akuity Platform for our whole product.
We use Akuity Platform daily. I am on the software side, but I have also worked with it, mostly observing DevOps people working on Akuity Platform. They configure new features on Akuity Platform, and on a day-to-day basis, whenever there is any change in our product, the CI/CD gets triggered, and that is how we use it daily.
What is most valuable?
In our case, having a great UI on Akuity Platform is something that we love. We have also used the open-source version, but Akuity Platform, the paid version, has a very great UI and user experience through which we can easily do whatever we want to, and that is what I love most about Akuity Platform.
The UI and user experience of Akuity Platform is better than the open-source version because the open-source version has only the bare minimum on the UI, but in Akuity Platform, they have almost all the features that we want. I have seen that on the open-source version, for the source we just give the GitHub link where the Argo CD workflow is specified, but on the UI of Akuity Platform, we connect our organization there, and they give all the options for the projects that we want to tag on, so that is one of the features that I love on Akuity Platform version.
Overall, Akuity Platform has impacted our organization positively as the DevOps team is quite happy because first, they do not have to manage their own Argo CD, and second, it is quite user-friendly for them as well as for the developers, saving time for us. For the DevOps folks using Akuity Platform, they have saved a good amount of time considering they do not have to deploy Argo CD and they just get everything working, so that is quite helpful.
In our case with Akuity Platform, we observed that we required less time due to the DevOps team needing less time to manage things, so for us, it was a time saving.
What needs improvement?
Akuity Platform has most of the features, but I think they should include some more features, such as the feature where we specify the URLs of the Argo CD workflow, which I liked, but it would be good if they include more of those features on the platform.
Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Akuity Platform for around three years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Akuity Platform is stable for our team. Till now, we have not faced any downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Akuity Platform handles scalability well and can handle growth and changes in our workloads easily.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Akuity Platform is quite good as they are really helpful whenever we get stuck.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using the open-source version earlier, but we found that it was taking quite an amount of time for us to manage, which was a constraint, so we switched to Akuity Platform to avoid management and just use it directly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think the pricing of Akuity Platform is a bit high, and we have a budget constraint at our company, but I think it was worth the price that we pay to get it working.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Akuity Platform, we evaluated another CI/CD tool called Flux CD, which we found useful, but it was not that helpful in our case, so we just went with Akuity Platform.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the customer support of Akuity Platform on a scale of one to ten as an eight. Akuity Platform team is really helpful, so there is not much difference there. My overall rating for Akuity Platform is eight.

Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Akuity Platform is to monitor Kubernetes deployments, and more specifically, to help with Kubernetes deployment and to learn about CI/CD workflows.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best features of Akuity Platform include the GitOps-first model that makes deployments predictable and auditable, a good UI for visualizing the application state versus the desired state, easy rollback and sync control during deployment, good compatibility with Kubernetes native tooling and manifests, and a strong open-source ecosystem with great documentation.
The impact of Akuity Platform on my organization has been positive, as the UI is excellent, and the pull-based GitOps ecosystem is effective. Using GitHub as the source of truth has made Kubernetes workflows and manifests easier to manage, making it a great tool.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly. When errors occur, it is difficult to determine what configuration error happened, requiring detailed analysis to understand what went wrong.
I think detailed log analysis with Akuity Platform, especially regarding configuration failures, should be improved. If this is addressed, I would be pleased to learn about it, as it could significantly enhance the documentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Akuity Platform for quite some time, close to a year, because I have been using Argo CD and its deployment.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Akuity Platform is to try it out as it is a great platform with excellent tools. Connecting with the maintainers or the developer team can help you navigate the platform better and make it suitable for enterprises needing such solutions. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
