Easy to set up with intuitive UI and good reliability
I haven't used support. Since it is on-prem, our tech support would manage to troubleshoot. There might have been instances where there have been some issues with the on-prem version that I don't know of. Our tech support may have touched base with the.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"We find it to be a very good fit for what we need to accomplish and it's very easy to manage and to maintain it from an enterprise skill perspective, as well."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is vendor-agnostic and it has a file called Manifest, which makes it possible for developers, ops people, and system admins to cooperate."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable; we can write scripts from scratch, and Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"It's a deployment tool; it does one thing, and it does it well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"This has always been our choice for continuous product development."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
 

Cons

"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"Customer service was not very good."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"I don't know the exact cost, but it's not exorbitant. It may be a couple of thousand dollars a year or something like that. I'm not sure, but it's reasonable. We get value for money out of it."
