What is our primary use case?
Most of our use cases are for continuous deployment. Basically, we would grab that package and deploy it to different adverse or intensive webs for our AKS spots. For continuous deployment, I'm using Octopus Deploy.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very easy to set up.
It is very stable.
We can scale the product.
The UI is very intuitive.
What needs improvement?
It's hard to say what I would like to improve. There isn't anything specific that is missing.
There could be scope for more integration with other platforms. That said, for the kind of integration it has, it is good enough.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for a long time. However, I'm not sure for how long exactly. I've used it in this company and in previous companies as well.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is fairly stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash of freeze. It is reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable and expands easily.
The whole organization is using Octopus.
How are customer service and support?
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. However, I don't have that level of visibility.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We still used some bits and pieces of Azure DevOps for continuous deployment also. We still prefer Octopus. We have a history with Azure DevOps, however, it is not as good as we want our continuous deployment to be.
How was the initial setup?
It is easy to set up the product. That's likely the reason for its popularity. It's not a complex deployment.
I'm not sure how many people deployed the product initially.
Basically, we do not require technical people for deployment since we set it up once, and then it's literally one click. On a daily basis, we do not require any technical people in terms of maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup can be done in-house unless you have a specific level of complexity that you need to be executed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't deal with licensing and cannot speak to the costs involved.
What other advice do I have?
This has always been our choice for continuous product development.
I'm using the latest version of the product.
I would recommend the solution to others. It is one of the best options for continuous deployment.
I'd rate it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
