Great software that facilitates the arduous task of application implementations
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about this great software is how flexible it can be in terms of carrying out the arduous task of implementing large applications, since it gives the user the power to make special configurations that allow these applications to be implemented in all the platforms, offers a fabulous support also provides on its own platform videos or documentation to help the user to guide how to use such software and thus get the best performance of all the functions offered and all for very affordable prices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit confusing to understand all of its configurations, but thanks to the fact that they provide guidelines for their use, it is much easier to understand them once they are visualized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Octopus Deploy helps us greatly to speed up this great task of carrying out the implementations of a large number of applications, since it makes it much less heavy for our team of developers and so the time we used to do this manually was used to overtake many other business projects, that is why I consider Octopus the best solution we have found to facilitate implementations and deployments of applications on different platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We recommend the use of this great software because it will help your company and team to work in a much simpler and faster way with the deployment of applications on different platforms.
Excellent software to carry out application implementations with the highest confidence
What do you like best about the product?
This software without a doubt I like it mainly because its interface is very intuitive, it allows everything difficult to become simple from deployments of applications, implementations, tests, quality control which are tasks that can consist of a long time but when implementing this great service either in the cloud or on a server of your preference avoids all these hassles and the best thing is that it is not necessary to be a professional to handle it because even on your platform we can find videos or documentation that guides us step by step.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being a software with multiple uses and having a lot of features can become somewhat tedious to know all its functions but it is something that can be easily solved thanks to the fact that they provide help through videos or documentation that explains everything step by step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Octopus Deploy is a software that has allowed us to modernize our software or applications development thanks to the fact that we have left behind the arduous task of performing implementations, deployments, tests, quality control manually to allow everything to be automated and without a doubt we have had a high performance in our work because with it we are sure that our implementations will work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus Deploy is ideal for implementing very fast and reliable so I recommend it for those companies that are already tired of doing all this manually.
Octopus Deploy great application deployment software.
What do you like best about the product?
I love this software because it allows you to implement applications on any platform, it contains a very simple and intuitive interface, so its use is extremely simple for any user, be it a professional or novice developer, it offers a very safe and automated application launch, saving a lot time to the developers the arduous task of configuring this and the best thing is that all this can be done in the cloud or in installations everything depends on the choice of each developer or company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its price is somewhat high, but I think it is worth investing in it, since it greatly facilitates the launch of applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Octopus Deploy is very useful for our company Quantitative Systems because it saves us a lot of time with respect to the task of implementing applications, since doing this manually takes a lot of time, in addition we have the confidence that everything will work out because it offers the function of making automated launches and sure, this is how the time we used to dedicate to this arduous task can now be used to make other advances in our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus Deploy is an ideal software or tool to accelerate the implementation process of applications so if you want to avoid doing this work manually this software is recommended.
Well-designed for Complex Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Octopus Deploy is built to have a very powerful and flexible deployment process. Being able to set up special rules for different deployment scenarios, have adjustable configuration parameters that can change based on the target environment, and step dependencies allow for replicating complex manual deployment procedures that would otherwise not be easy to automate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the software can be a bit confusing because it has so many options. Reviewing the documentation usually helps. It also feels a bit slow on the initial load, although a more powerful server may resolve this. Overall, there is little to dislike and mostly just small issues that can be worked around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We moved from a fully manual deployment process to a single-click deployment. Additionally, with this software we now can easily use the same binaries on both testing and production environments. Our old process involved different builds for each environment. Although they were built from the same commit, we could not ensure that the exact same product was being used in production due to these different builds. We can now be fully confident that the same software that passed testing is placed on production, with the same configuration setup and layout. Deployments also go much faster now, which means less downtime for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They offer a 45 day trial of their self-hosted and cloud editions. If you're interested in the software, it's a good offer. Additionally, if you're going to go self-hosted, there is also a free "Community Edition" license that allows for five projects and ten deployment targets. That's enough for most simple deployments and small companies.
Automated Deployments done right
What do you like best about the product?
Automated deployments, migrations between environment, integration with Visual Studio (and hence Jenkins).
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is unfriendly to use when the number of environments increase. Azure integration could be a significant plus, but not really a 'dislike' per say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated Deployments and Continuous integration.
Keeps our deployment pipeline lightweight, quick, and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The simple interface for seeing multiple products, versions, and environments and managing our deploy workflow is the best part of Octopus.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have some more integration with the rest of our pipeline. Being able to link commit refs and issue numbers would give us better visibility into what has been deployed and where.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We aim to have a light-weight and flexible deploy pipeline since we are a small startup. Octopus gives us a good deployment tool that isn't overly complicated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus' scripting can add more options and power to deployment pipelines
Tentacle Fun
What do you like best about the product?
Massively configurable and with very good level of granularity when it comes to permissions. The seamless integration with other platforms is very welcome too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can get very busy and unfriendly to use when the number of environments ramps up significantly (as it has done in our case). This takes away from what is an otherwise clean and fairly intuitive application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product is a premier tool of choice for the our deployment pipeline. As it interfaces well with the other tools we use (Team City, SVN and GIT), it made for a fairly straightforward choice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about how to best maintain your compliance requirement about separate of duty and security with the way you set up tentacles - it can all be done but it can be challenging.
Octopus Continuous Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Application and Database deployments are done via a simple process of promoting changes thru environments via a lifecycle.
Access is controlled by a variety of providers as well as having an Audit section of past deployments; this really helps with yearly audits for certification and regulation.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since the UI upgrade there is very little to dislike about Octopus Deploy. One area that does need more work is AWS integration however the vendor is aware of this and is providing additional functionality in later releases or via the community library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployments are done in an industry standard way; this is a vast improvement over bespoke deployments from a custom framework. Octopus logs all activity and deployments which helps with troubleshooting deployment issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus's low cost and rich feature set are a winning combination.
The tentacles are reaching all the things
What do you like best about the product?
It was built completely on the concept of remote PowerShell and it treats everything as a package to deploy. This simplified the mindset of how to get work deployed and running. It also had a decent community and fair number of extensions to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was not straightforward to get the actions of what it was doing in the code repo. Which makes it hard to test beyond writing some conventional PowerShell inside your repo. It also felt a little icky packaging some of the things into nuget that you wouldn't normally think to do.
Until recently you couldn't deploy directly to a linux agent which makes sense for a Windows type tool but it still became an issue and needed to be solved in goffy ways.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development workflow including CD.
Immediate benefit of removing as much of the human element of a deploy as possible and really designing a deploy rather than getting a bunch of steps in a wiki.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't just use octopus to deploy also get the configuration of your environment under control. Embrace CD and let things deploy when approved.
Effortless deployments, automated and on demand.
What do you like best about the product?
Makes deploying solutions to both on-premise and cloud services a breeze.
Octopus agile development upgrade cycles - they release a lot of nice features on regular basis.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike. I've been preaching about the product since I started using it.
Initially, their azure support was limited, but thanks to their regular updates, that area has improved greatly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to deploy the same package to every environment, you can. Just use the built-in config transforms to change what's necessary.
