We have used Octopus Deploy for many years now for our CI/CD (Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment) of roughly twenty projects. After a steep first learning curve and the initial investment of time and effort in the deployment projects, Octopus Deploy has saved us an uncountable number of hours in the past eight years. In all my career, I have seldom encountered such a versatile, powerful, and well-engineered software product. Support is also very responsive.
  • A wonderful time saver
  • Enabling self-service to non-technical product managers
  • Reliable weekly deployments of almost twenty of our (on-line) projects
  • I honestly can't think of something that they could do better
Octopus Deploy fits in any scenario you could think of. There is literally nothing it can't do in terms of the intricacy of deployment logic.
  • A huge ROI
  • No negative impact whatsoever (except initial investment of time & effort for steep learning curve)
The few inquiries I have made to support were handled in a very responsive and timely fashion.
Octopus Deploy's overall usability is really good.
Great support from professional services.

Before we used Octopus Deploy, we used to deploy our websites to our servers manually. This was a time consuming, error prone process. Many late evenings were spent in the office purely for website deployments. <br><br>We moved our deployment process into Octopus Deploy, automated and standardized every step, and have scaled the same process out to more websites as we've worked on more projects. We're even able to schedule the deployments so they can happen after hours without someone needing to work late.
  • Reliable
  • Intuitive interface
  • Works with lots of technologies
  • Config as code is still new, some missing features
  • Mobile view of the dashboard isn't great in places
  • A way to bulk clean up old package versions would be nice
Octopus Deploy has been able to do everything we've set out to make it do. Most of the time there are either built-in or community made step templates, but we've also authored a handful of our own. I have used it for deploying to Windows servers, Linux servers, and Docker containers in Azure. We've predominantly deployed applications written in dotnet and JavaScript.
  • It has made our deployment processes much faster and easier, no late evenings
  • Our deployments are much more reliable, no time wasted on troubleshooting
  • Anyone in the team is now able to deploy fixes, safely and securely
I have only had to contact Octopus Deploy's support twice, but my experience was fantastic.

The first time I contacted support, I had a call and screen share to go through how we might tackle a complicated deployment pattern we were looking to do for one of our more complex internal projects. After the call concluded I was also emailed with further suggestions on what we could try.

The second time, we had an issue with a live deployment due to a (rare) service outage. I was contacted very quickly and kept informed as to the progress on resolution of the outage.
The Octopus Deploy dashboard is so intuitive to use, we haven't needed any formal training or prior experience in order to get up and running. In particular, I have found it to be much easier than Azure DevOps Releases.

It's really nice to be able to use a GUI for piecing together a deployment process, but also make use of Config As Code to replicate it across projects.

CI/CD Pipeline is an essential component for DevOps practice and the overall Software Delivery Life Cycle. We use Octopus Deploy in the Continuous Deployment part in our CI/CD pipeline. It helps us deploy code changes quickly and reliably.
  • Fetch artifacts.
  • Deploy to AWS environment.
  • Deploy to Docker Container Clusters.
  • Deploy to static website infrastructure like S3 and CloudFront.
  • Octopus should have an easy to use IaC.
Ocotpus Deploy is good where the CI server doesn't have a deploy functionality.
  • Saves time for deployment and reduces Time to Market (TTM).
  • Helps managing environments where we deploy in a convenient way.
Octopus documentations are good and follows standard DevOps conventions, support is hardly to be used.
Octopus Deploy has an option to be deployed in our own cloud infra. This make the usability much better. Even in case of an internet outage (like the CloudFlare eBGP incidents recently) our CI/CD pipeline didn't have to wait as we host Octopus in our own cloud infra.
