Overall Satisfaction with Octopus Deploy

Software that is ideal to carry out the implementation of software or applications in development, so our company has decided to implement it as part of the software that can facilitate the work of developers in their department, since it has a very simple and easy to use, plus guarantees that everything that is implemented is what is really shown, this way you save time, avoid mistakes and work is much more effective.
  • Easy to use because it has a very simple and understandable interface.
  • It offers different languages ​​as well as several operating systems.
  • Allows it to be implemented on own or third-party servers.
  • Your support team is extremely attentive.
  • Provides a very user-friendly documentation as it is easy to understand.
  • The implementations can be carried out in an automated way thanks to the fact that it allows you to configure if you want to do it immediately or in the future.
  • Its price can be high according to where you want to implement the applications.
  • Your configuration may take some time so it is necessary to have a good knowledge in this field otherwise it will take more time than expected.
  • Their integrations although they are very advantageous can be somewhat complicated.
  • Octopus Deploy has allowed us to carry out implementations of our applications in a much more effective and secure way, since it is much simpler to decide in which place we want them to be carried out, in what time or moment is desired, and what is the state of each one of detailed form. It is for that reason that the time it takes for us to complete this task now is much smaller and we can say goodbye to errors as well.
  • It also gives us the advantage that implementations can be executed on several servers at the same time.
  • And the best thing is that it gives us the confidence that what has been tried and implemented is what it really is.
This software, unlike Chef, is much easier to configure or manage, since its platform provides documentation or tutorials on how to use it, besides its interface is much more modern and easy to use, it allows you to choose where you want carry out the implementations of the applications and configure when and where you want to do it and also provides security when doing this activity so it is very rare that there is a problem after that, while Chef is only based on cloud servers .
Octopus Deploy is a software that runs very effectively, is easy to use, does not require such a high learning curve, provides the necessary tools to carry out the functions it offers, making it a very flexible software, it also allows that can be configured according to the needs of the user and provides integrations with other very advantageous tools since they are carried out in a very favorable way.
It really facilitates the integration with other tools such as TeamCity, SVN and GIT among others, because for example when we work with TeamCity it is much simpler to create packages with this and then access Octopus to carry out the implementation of them in several servers can configure the same to be carried out in an automated way, that is why the union of Octopus with another tool makes the work much more pleasant since it is less heavy.
It allows the work to carry out the implementations manually, much faster because it is carried out in an automated way, which is a great time saver. It gives the development team the option of choosing where they want to carry out the implementations of their applications according to their need or comfort, either in virtual form (in the cloud) or physically. The implementations carried out are always secure, however, if you want to carry out such implementations on your own server, the cost is much higher.
