Octopus Deploy Reviews & Product Details

I use Octopus Deploy to automate application deployments across multiple environments. It makes releases consistent, repeatable, and easy to manage. The ability to handle complex deployment workflows and integrate with CI tools has saved me a lot of time and reduced errors. I really like how Octopus Deploy simplifies complex deployments. The standout feature for me is the ability to create re-usable deployment processes and manage multiple environments effortlessly. Its integration with CI/CD tools and the intuitive dashboard make tracking releases and approvals very easy. Reusable deployment processes save me a lot of time because I don't have to recreate steps for every new project or environment. Once I define a process, I can apply it across multiple applications, ensuring consistency and reducing errors. Managing multiple environments is equally valuable. It lets me promote releases from dev to staging to production with confidence, using the same tested workflow. This makes deployments predictable and eliminates the risk of missing steps during critical releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the learning curve. Setting up complex deployment pipelines can feel overwhelming for new users. The UI, while powerful, sometimes feels cluttered when managing large projects. Also, better built-in reporting and analytics would make tracking deployment metrics easier.

I have been using Octopus for over 10 years and it has always been super easy to install, maintain and use. It is a comprehensive tool for deployment orchestration which makes your software deployments reliable and repeatable. It has a rich feature set, yet it has been so well designed that it is rarely confusing to set up deployment pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octopus used to provide not for profit organisations with a free licence. However that is no longer the case. This is a fairly common trend at the moment, where after lock in for years, a company starts charging making it difficult to do anything else but pay. I understand this economy means businesses need more and more revenue, though I'm not a fan of the way it is dealt with, particularly for not-for-profit organisations.

Have been using it successfully for over 10 years, mostly on-premise and more recently in the Cloud

Good features

Ability to automate runbooks and deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you need to rely on it, sometimes runbooks don't run and just hang. We are asked to reboot the agent weekly by Support and the underlyinhg issue has not been addressed

Deployments are sometimes slower that I would like, although this seems to be improving recently

The recent changes to pay in advance rather than arrears are my main complaint because this causes friction. I would rather consume the software and then get billed from what we use, rather than have to engage with sales to by more licenses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octopus is simply the best deployment software tool out there. It covers all deployment scenarios from traditional packages deployed to Windows hosts, through Containerisation to state-of-the-art serverless deployments of application and IAC in the cloud.

Its learning curve is simple with simple set up, a great UI and easy getting started guides. Its recent shift to Config As Code has allowed it to keep pace with the best DevOps tooling platforms, all while maintaining its simplicity and ease-of-use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The deployment target nature of setting up agents on every physical machine can be a little challenging. Some of the configuration in Terraform such as Tenants can be a little time consuming and clunky. Some aspects, such as Secrets management are not yet fully Config-As-Code.

Our client migrated from existing deployment tool to octopus and I must say the tool has a great UI and is very easy to use. The ability to select release packages to deploy by just selecting from list of drop down is makes life really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some areas that can be improved. Example:- Compared to previous tool that we used, octopus has somewhat restrictive display of past deployments that happened on a stream. There could have been a separate area where they could have displayed all the past deployments before stream refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
