"Brilliant lightweight tool, with some drawbacks"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Octopus Deploy?

Ease of maintaining multiple tentacles to deploy to as well as crafting suitable retention policies for previous builds and releases. Support is reactive and helpful. Constant improvements from version to version with the developers seemingly very attentive to user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octopus Deploy?

The log access and visualisation leaves something to be desired, there's a lot of noise sometimes making it hard to find the root cause of issues. In versions 3.X and lower RavenDB as the artifact management database can cause issues when reaching certain scales. Documentation is occasionally lacking in detail. Monitoring of the core server is not the simplest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of using it, previously it was primarily devs and release services that had to deploy, now anyone in the pod can do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octopus Deploy?

How target roles get clogged up from other releases, holding up simple tasks such as flowdock messages. We new to have a clear definition of what roles should be used for what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure the whole process of deployment, and the UI becomes more and more friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
