Octopus Deploy is used for Devops team to deliver applications to different environments across the company and for customers. Octopus Deploy allows us to have an organization by projects and environments and having tenants configurations. Managing variables across all the projects and separate by environments is a nice of feature. Availability to create our own step templates for any need that we have for deployments.
  • Create you own step templates
  • API that supports any operation
  • Good support and community
  • Variables management
  • Audit management
  • API key permissions not attached to user
Octopus is good for companies with multiple environments and projects. Allowing you to have a good segregation on users, environments and releases.

It is hard to manage in scenarios that need to be generated programatically from scratch because Octopus requires an agent installed and registered in Octopus server before deployments.

  • Customize step templates
  • Tentants
  • Release management
  • Positive impact on delivery times
  • Positive impact on ROI
  • Negative impact on cloud integration
Octopus showed better cost numbers than Azure DevOps and more flexibility against GitLab CI/CD. Octopus customization in step templates that can be reused and easily created gives big advantages against many of its competitors. Octopus was selected for these features and licencing schema that allows us to pay for what we use.

We use Octopus Deploy as a deployment orchestration solution that allows us to easily and succinctly deploy critical corporate and scientific software in a reliable, repeatable, and automated way. it is being used by the software development team of [the] information technology services department to deliver software for the entire organization. It solves the problem of automated and reliable deployment orchestration for the organization and is an integral part of our process.
  • Simple and well thought out product
  • Feature rich
  • Excellent support and documentation
  • Reliable
  • Robust
  • In the past has been somewhat .net focused but that has been changing in recent times
  • Would be great if community licenses for NFP organizations were perpetual - but in saying that I appreciate that Octopus does provide my organization with a community [license]. Not all organisations do
  • I can’t think of any other
Octopus Deploy is a well though [the] solution to the deployment orchestration problem. It is a reliable and robust solution that is relatively simple to understand. [Its] UI is friendly and easy to use, The support and documentation [are] excellent and the product seems to fit into any organization’s process very well and with less effort than other products in this space. I actually find it a pleasure to work with [every day] and I am glad to have it as an integral part of our process.
  • Deployment mechanics for .net and windows servers running IIS
  • Variable sets
  • Pre and post-deployment scripts
  • Channels
  • Package name patterns
  • More reliable and repeatable automated deployments, this is priceless
  • Removing the possibility of human error from the deployment process
  • Saves developers time - humans shouldn’t need to be doing repeatable tasks that a computer can do better - isn’t this the whole point of IT?
Octopus Deploy was the obvious choice at the time, its strong .net support, robustness, ease of use, and integration into an existing process was a big plus. Also, Octopus Deploy was kind enough to give my organization a not for profit community licence. In addition, the product comes from a local Brisbane based company and it is always good to support local businesses when you can.
