Depot

My main use case for Depot was for storing production code and deploying it through pipelines.

A specific example of how I used Depot for storing production code and deploying through pipelines involved storing our codes, which was very straightforward to check in and check out. When we checked in the code, new code went to Depot. We used tools to attach that to the build pipeline where it built the whole system once the new code arrived. From that, it performed further testing, such as smoke testing and other kinds of tests, and we received reports from those results.

Depot's best features include integrations, branch admins, and the ability to create change lists. It is scalable, and its scalability has improved significantly, along with file-based permissions and all those features.

Integrations and branch admins help my team by ensuring strict branch management in Depot. An admin is required because it was very complex at that time, and there should be one admin overseeing how we are doing the branching. Wrong branching can lead to different flaws in the code. Branching is something that the admin needs to monitor very strictly. Depot is heavily integrated with Microsoft systems and release pipelines, making it very difficult to replace.

Depot has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage our code better where multiple developers are working on the system. Rather than a decentralized code system, we now have a central repository where all codes are merged in one place.

Depot needs improvement as it was stable but also very slow. Depot's slow speed arises when we perform different integrations. On the positive side, it provides mono-repo scalability, meaning it can handle multiple users at any given time without crashing, which is a strong point.

Depot should be improved for remote work because it functions poorly in that regard. Depot's branching style is also poor and could be improved. There is a steep learning curve that makes it difficult for people who previously worked on decentralized systems to adapt. It would be beneficial if Depot could become more similar to Git.

I used Depot for around three to four years.

In my experience, Depot's scalability is limited to some extent and not very scalable.

Customer support from Depot is good, and we were able to get answers on time.

We previously used a Git-based version before Depot because it had a number of different features and was more flexible than Depot, which is why we switched.

I evaluated GitHub, VSTS, and Depot as options before choosing Depot.

Depot is a great product. I think it can be improved in many ways, and I believe Microsoft should work on that.

My advice for others looking into using Depot is that if it can be more flexible and a bit more decentralized, then I can definitely recommend that people start using Depot because of its features. Otherwise, it is a stable product and very good. I give this review an overall rating of five.

I have been using Depot in my back-end work as a cybersecurity specialist, where we configure the IAM, Identity Access Management part, for new user account creations handled by Human Resources. When they have their account, they need access to their website and magazine.

Our main use case for Depot is to secure the platform, which means we create the workflow and the roles that give other users access to their magazine and website. For us, it is really about ensuring the back-end service works smoothly, checking the health of the website to make sure everything is operational and working, and making customers happier by allowing them access to their accounts.

Here is one specific example of a workflow we set up with Depot that helped our team: imagine there is an HR person working with a new user who needs to create a magazine or website in Lille. They need access to Depot's website, so they rush to create their account, and for us, we have to create the site that allows them to access it. We create the workflow that gives them access to the entire platform while also implementing the provision policy that allows them access only to the elements they specifically need.

The best features Depot offers for our team include providing a platform where we improve Depot. Depot does not need to provide us with any information, as we are the ones who improve it, ensuring the platform works correctly and users have access.

Some particularly useful features that help me do my job more efficiently include using EBM IAM to create workflows, ensuring other teams work in directory management, such as Active Directory, while we focus on cybersecurity, and using EBM to ensure all services are working and connected.

Depot has positively impacted our organization by ensuring that everything works fully, which makes other clients really happy.

Positive outcomes since using Depot include other users appreciating the reduced number of incidents and user compliance, which makes them really happy because we work primarily in IT and support several applications users need to access.

I think Depot can be improved by updating an old website I can refer to as Cognitune, where we create and manage aspects such as new managers needing access. Improving this tool to a new version would make us really happy.

For now, updating that old tool is the main area for improvement; everything else is acceptable.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Depot a nine.

I choose nine out of ten because, in terms of security architecture, it is really good. However, they need improvement with older servers due to storage space issues, which prevents me from giving a perfect score of ten.

I have been working in my current field from 2023 until November 2015, which is almost three years and one month.

Depot appears stable in my experience.

In terms of scalability, I believe Depot can handle growth and more users easily, although they need to work on server size to ensure efficient handling.

Customer support for Depot is really perfect. We have tiered support in our team, and both T2 and T3 levels are really happy with the service we provide.

We did not switch from a different solution to Depot. We are a consulting company working for Depot while also servicing other clients such as PME, Kingfisher, Costorama, and Boulanger.

I do not have information regarding return on investment with Depot since we are the team ensuring the server works fully, which means we do not use Depot for our clients. We are the clients who improve Depot.

I do not have access to pricing or setup costs, but we have a license for the server, which includes creating licenses for any server, such as those needed for SSL.

Before choosing Depot, we did not evaluate other options.

My advice for others looking into using Depot is to be patient and to trust what the IT department advises. Do not rush things, and do not give your password to anybody. I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I'm a freelance chiropractor and I use Depot to manage payers. It is used for shaving mainly. A lot of customers come with Depot products and we use them.

Depot has positively impacted my organization in an awesome way. The fact that I can save time gives me the possibility to have more clients during the day.

I save at least 20% each day because of Depot.

Versatility and speed are the best features Depot offers in my opinion because it is faster and more reliable than some other products that I have used, and they perform not as well.

Technology is always improving, and putting new technology would be an improvement for my job. I feel fine with the actual platform.

Depot is a useful tool and there is space for improvement, but I can't figure out what can be done, which is why I chose eight out of ten.

I'm using products from Depot for the last ten years, maybe.

Depot is stable.

I've been lucky with the customer support for Depot; I didn't need any kind of specific intervention from customer care.

It is my first time using this kind of solution, so I did not previously use a different solution.

I have seen a return on investment because the fact that I can have more clients generates better revenue at the end of the day.

I don't know exactly about the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Depot because my accountant follows this for me.

I went straight to Depot before choosing it; I did not evaluate other options.

Use Depot because you will save time and money. I give Depot a rating of eight out of ten.
