Sr. Manager, Information Technology Audit

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

cannot disclose

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

Principal Consultant

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.

Good value as long as you watch the licensing.

Systems Administrator

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.

Director of IT

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.

DevOps Engineer

The API, and custom templates allow admins to really customize processes to their liking.

Softwaredevelpper

Since a few months there's now this feature called "config as code" where all deployment steps are commitet to a given git repository.

We have an 'admin' who runs the tool but our expectation is it more or less runs itself and allows us to focus on other technology issues.

We initially started using octopus for our CI/CD, but once we learned we could have a different space for just the sysadmins, our use of octopus exploded.  

It made it very easy to configure new projects for our microservice environment using this configuration as a template.

Principal Site Reliability Engineer

The fact that Octopus is API driven allows us to easily automate everything in the deployment space.

Developer

It will automatically manage your release cycles and does the deployments for you automatically.

We have been able to full automate out software packaging and deployment process for our product development team, allow for faster turnaround for the QA team and traceable deployments to our AWS environments.

Principal DevOps Engineer

No need to copy and paste the same code block into hundreds or thousands of deploys that are identical.

We have not found a blocker that has stopped us from integrating our deployment requirements with Octopus yet.

Sr DevOps Architect

That and the support from Octopus Deploy, email, forum, Slack, calls when needed is top tier.

Senior DevOps Engineer

Octopus can do the deployment part in different environments.- The deployment steps are under 'process' tab.

We startet with continuous deployment with octopus, it was really easy do deploy our IIS Applications on mutiple environments.

Chief Architect

Built for this purpose where other competitors are acquired startup companies bundled together with duct tape.

In that they can control their own deployment processes and when they deploy.

Octopus Deploy does the "CD" part of the CI/CD pipeline very well.

Another topic of improvement would be around how step templates are version controlled.

Senior Release Engineer 

Upgrade paths sometimes are difficult but my organization is an edge case

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.

I've never found the reporting function in OD to be overly useful as I'd prefer it to be.  

Config as code is awesome as is but if you have SOX requirements it’s essential

Senior Developer

Being able to handle tenanted deployments.

CI can be any tool to build the artifacts.

We are able to deploy many different types of projects with ease.

Octopus Deploy is built for deployments, and it knows it.

Consistency of use over 7 years has proven OD to be a valuable tool to the organization.  

Head of IT

Quick, accurate with logs, and can be timered

Feeling confident that I can hit a button and be sure four servers in three different countries on another continent are going to be safely updated is awesome.

Software Engineer

There is so much in the way of customization with this tool, that we haven't even begun to use every functionality.  

Software Developer

The interface, I think it is the easiest devops platform I ever used

Lead DevOps Engineer

I have been using Octopus Deploy for the past 9 years and have implemented it in over 4 different companies and have used its features extensively taking it to it limits :)

Senior Software Engineer

Sometimes it is hard to find where variables that are used in the deployment scripts are stored.

Having Octopus Deploy handle deployments is like having an extra, reliable team member who takes care of deployments.

System Engineer II

Granted there was a prior admin and he was available to answer questions so I wasn't completely in the dark. But the ease of use and the docs on Octopus.com have been paramount to keeping everything running smoothly.

As with all the tools in that domain, it is hard to debug or simulate a deployment process.

Senior Software engineer

I really like the ability to configure releases, (they can be either simple or complex).

I manage around 600 projects for five business units in our corporation.

Extensibility and customizability without overwhelming the admins and users, this is a well thought out product

Needs to support more Artifact Repos, such as AWS CodeArtifact

The ease of use from installation to new developer training.
