Harness Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Technical Associate at ZS3.0We've used Harness for 8–10 months to manage infrastructure provisioning pipelines, benefiting from pipeline templates and visual tools, but its lack of strong pipeline-as-code support and complex UI limit its appeal for some development teams.
Cloud Platform Engineer at Futurescape Technology4.5I use Harness for powerful CI/CD automation, managing deployments and ensuring stability, which improved reliability and saved time by reducing manual tasks. I appreciate its features but believe configuration could be simpler for smaller teams.
Vice President at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Harness to build containerized pipelines that reduce drift, speed builds and deployments, and support security/compliance needs like SOC 2 and ISO. It’s stable and scalable with strong support, but pricing credits and the learning curve need clarity.
Senior AWS Consultant at Quantum Integrators4.5I've been using Harness for five to six years and find it reliable, user-friendly, and efficient for automated Canary deployments, though initial setup can be complex; overall, it meets my needs and I rate it 9 out of 10.
Senior Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0We primarily use Harness as a deployment tool, valuing its support for various deployment styles with zero downtime. It integrates well with HashiCorp Vault, but improvements are needed in deploying to multiple environments. We switched from UCD and Azure.
Software Engineer at Citi4.0I used Harness for CICD, deploying Java microservices. It effectively integrates pipelines, environment checks, and log monitoring, reducing our release process time. While I appreciate its dashboard, stability issues and a preference for the previous UI remain.
DevOps Enginee at LTIMindtree4.0We utilize Harness as a deployment tool for environments like OpenShift and Kubernetes, automating deployments with minimal manual interaction. While efficient, it requires manual approval for changes, hindering full automation. It's more user-friendly and faster than previous tools.
Engineering Technical Leader - SRE (Cloud/Kubernetes-Security) at Cisco3.5We use Harness for deploying Kubernetes clusters, appreciating its ease of use and graphical user interface. While improvements are needed in setup and security features, its scalability and minimal infrastructure management make it a valuable choice for us.
