# Best DevOps Platforms - Page 8 *By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)* DevOps platforms give teams the tools and automation capabilities necessary to perform and manage continuous delivery. Continuous delivery refers to a development approach aimed at creating, testing, and releasing software in a quick and agile way. DevOps platforms handle [continuous integration (CI)](https://www.g2.com/categories/continuous-integration) and [continuous deployment (CD)](https://www.g2.com/categories/continuous-deployment) to automate various development tasks and define a successful delivery pipeline. Teams use DevOps platforms to ensure their continuous delivery efforts are well defined, properly automated, and manageable within a single framework to efficiently carry out agile DevOps work environments. DevOps platforms often include the full functionalities of [application release orchestration software](https://www.g2.com/categories/application-release-orchestration) and [build automation software](https://www.g2.com/categories/build-automation) to facilitate native management, automation, and execution of CI/CD. To qualify for inclusion in the DevOps Platforms category, a product must: - Connect to code repositories - Help teams define and execute their processes from coding to staging - Allow users to create and manage continuous delivery pipelines - Natively facilitate automated CI/CD ## How Many DevOps Platforms Products Does G2 Track? **Total Products under this Category:** 132 ## How Does G2 Rank DevOps Platforms Products? **Why You Can Trust G2's Software Rankings:** - 30 Analysts and Data Experts - 17,300+ Authentic Reviews - 132+ Products - Unbiased Rankings G2's software rankings are built on verified user reviews, rigorous moderation, and a consistent research methodology maintained by a team of analysts and data experts. Each product is measured using the same transparent criteria, with no paid placement or vendor influence. While reviews reflect real user experiences, which can be subjective, they offer valuable insight into how software performs in the hands of professionals. Together, these inputs power the G2 Score, a standardized way to compare tools within every category. ## Which DevOps Platforms Is Best for Your Use Case? - **Leader:** [GitHub](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews) - **Highest Performer:** [Copilot4DevOps Plus](https://www.g2.com/products/copilot4devops-plus/reviews) - **Top Trending:** [ServiceNow IT Operations Management](https://www.g2.com/products/servicenow-it-operations-management/reviews) - **Best Free Software:** [Dynatrace](https://www.g2.com/products/dynatrace/reviews) --- **Sponsored** ### Octopus Deploy Octopus Deploy sets the standard for Continuous Delivery (CD), empowering software teams to deliver value in an agile way.
