Overall Satisfaction with Octopus Deploy

We primarily use Octopus Deploy to manage and push [the] deployment of our .Net (legacy) and .Net (core) applications. We also use it to automate tasks beyond code deployment. We have additionally begun integration with Kubernetes.

Pros

  • .Net Code deployment
  • Distributed Powershell scripting
  • Config management

Cons

  • Better Linux/*Nix support
  • While not an inexpensive product, it has proven to be a good value. I don't have firm ROI numbers but our PROD deployment quality has improved, and we now measure deployment times in "person-minutes" rather than "person-hours".
  • Our defect rate due to missed configuration items has been significantly reduced.
  • Octopus has enhanced our ability to enforce SDLC separation-of-duties.
We also use Ansible, which is much broader and platform/tool diverse. Octopus [Deploy] currently serves a niche for us - .Net and .Net Core deployments. It is capable of doing other things, but it does its original function better than broader tools like Ansible.

Do you think Octopus Deploy delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Octopus Deploy live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Octopus Deploy go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Octopus Deploy again?

Yes

- Octopus Deploy has been a real time-saver for deploying of .Net (legacy) and .Net (core) applications. We have integrated ("Fed") it with Jenkins and TFS, allowing seamless SDLC from developer repo to production deployment.
- We have also used it to avoid "touching" servers for routine Powershell-automated tasks.
