Pros

“We run pull requests through it daily for our backend services, and the review flow (inline comments, suggested changes, required approvals before merge) makes it easy to keep code quality high even when we're shipping fast.”

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“The platform improves visibility into code changes, simplifies collaboration between technical teams, and helps ensure deployments are organized and traceable.”

Dave R.

Manager

“GitHub provides a centralized platform for version control, pull requests, code reviews, issue tracking, and CI/CD automation, making the entire software development lifecycle more efficient.”

Himanshu G.

AI Engineer

Pros

“Great tool, allows flexibility in deployment of either scheduled automated deployments or manual, which saves time for developers and DevOps teams during sprints.”

Roman G.

Sr. Manager, Information Technology Audit

“It has an easy to use interface and straightforward deployment configurations out of the box, robust features for managing complex deployment processes,”

Gary K.

cannot disclose

“Octopus brings power to your DevOps Toolbox; Features such as lifecycles, variable configuration, release management, and the fact that the deployment system is built agnostic are why Octopus Deploy should be considered the go-to tool for complex deployments.”

Kristinn G.

Principal Consultant

Cons

“GitHub has tried to simplify things over the years, but it still lacks a genuinely user-friendly, abstracted environment for non-developers who just need to collaborate on data or check progress.”

Mark C.

Membership Secretary, Trustee and Designer

“If wanting to use it with other things you have to have a public repo which can be a little annoying, for example if i want to use it with Claude, i need to make it public which i dont like”

Luke P.

Head of Support

“The UI can feel a little cluttered sometimes, especially when you’re jumping between repos, issues, and pull requests.”

Manuel V.

Primary Care Coordinator

Cons

“Understanding how environment, deployment targets, target roles can be difficult to understand without help, outside of the octopus documentation. When working with a space with lots of projects and environments, it can be difficult to find the right environment, project, and version number of the package i am looking for. Although I'm not sure that can be fixed, I'm not a UI guy.”

Russel B.

Systems Administrator

“Moving from a 'per server' to 'per seat' license has caused some initial issues, for instance we didn't used to renew every year due to not requiring upgrades, but now it's forced so that is getting extra scrutiny from the purchasing department.”

James D.

Director of IT

“The view can some times get a little wonky when you are changing releases and pushing different versions all the time, and the "view" can become out of sync with reality.”

Andrew G.

Principal DevOps Engineer
