Deploy with ease to Kubernetes, Linux, Windows virtual machines, Amazon Web Services, Azure, or Google Cloud. If the Octopus Tentacle agent, SSH, command line, or a web service can speak to it, Octopus can deploy to it. Octopus takes over from your CI tool and handles the release, deployment, and operations of CD in advanced ways that no CI tool can. Teams using Octopus actually look forward to deployment time. We believe deploying to production should be a routine non-event that you can do anytime. Even on Fridays. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 60 users.

We have all sorts of different types of deployments to various on-prem and cloud based targets. Even legacy based targets. We have not found a blocker that has stopped us from integrating our deployment requirements with Octopus yet. Octopus has ample amount of community based steps and first class steps out of the box that make it VERY powerful. Octopus is very customizable in how you handle deployments. Its really up to the end user to define what standard their business requires and Octopus makes it very easy to implement. For us we love step templates. Its re-usable code blocks that we can use at scale for thousands of deployments. No need to copy and paste the same code block into hundreds or thousands of deploys that are identical. > > **Cons**: For the most part Octopus scales really well\! We have over 13k projects with ~4k users in the tool and for the most part works fine. Though there are some inherent issues with UI/API performance when dealing with this many projects and users. They are working on these issues. But right now that's our biggest issue. Another topic of improvement would be around how step templates are version controlled. Right now all code in step templates is stored in the Octopus Database. I would love to see this moved to GitHub using the OCL language used for other parts of Octopus Config As Code. Lastly there are no good ways to template deployment processes besides cloning projects. I would love to see some sort of templating capability (similar to how TeamCity handles it). This would help greatly with scalability. > > We have instrumented Octopus for ~13k projects for ~4k users as of the date of this review. We moved from a very custom process to a well defined process. There's no doubt in my head that the scale we operate at today was only possible by using Octopus Deploy for our deployments. ----- ### "Great tool for deployment and run automated tasks" — 5.0/5 > **Nicolas** | *27 May 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and how versatile it is. > > **Cons**: I have nothing bad to say at the moment. I've been using it for just a month now so I'm just getting used to it. > > Great experience overall. Awesome tool to design automated tasks, really versatile. It is really easy to design a workflow with different steps and bind them together. I'm right now in the process of implementing a deployment to a Kubernetes Cluster and everything goes smooth so far. One thing I love is the support mechanism that Octopus Deploy has. Every time I have doubts or I don't know how to do something, I just ask in the community and in less than a couple of hours I get a response. ----- ### "Great deployment product" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 June 2022* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Friendly user interface, deployment log is easy to read. > > **Cons**: runs slowly, other than that, it's pretty good to use > > awesome\! make my work going ----- ### "Trusting the Octopod" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *25 March 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It gives me the confidence to deploy applications and updates in a reliable and repeatable way. We are a small company so our skills are spread across many roles. Having Octopus Deploy handle deployments is like having an extra, reliable team member who takes care of deployments. > > **Cons**: I was initially confused by the terminology as I was new to CI/CD. Once I progressed past that stage there were no worries. > > Octopus handles deployments to our largest clients with multiple environments and servers. Feeling confident that I can hit a button and be sure four servers in three different countries on another continent are going to be safely updated is awesome. It saves so much time and provides reliability and confidence. ----- ### "Great tool. Good value as long as you watch the licensing." — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *23 February 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has an easy to use interface and straightforward deployment configurations out of the box, robust features for managing complex deployment processes, seems to support for a wide range of platforms, and detailed reporting and visibility into deployment status. Also good and helpful documentation > > **Cons**: Seems to be potentially more expensive the larger the deployments, there is a bit of a learning curve for advanced features. > > Great tool. Good value as long as you watch the licensing. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/347094/octopus-deploy?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/347094/octopus-deploy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
