Harness Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Technical Associate at ZS3.0I found Harness excellent for templatizing infrastructure provisioning pipelines and its visual studio, saving significant development time and reducing errors. However, its UI feels complicated, and it severely lacks pipeline-as-code support.
ML Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees4.0Harness unified our CI/CD, improving deployment reliability and speed via AI automation. It's powerful and scalable, offering strong ROI. However, its complexity and cost make it less ideal for smaller teams, despite the operational benefits.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape4.5I 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.
IT Analyst | Aws Cloud Ops | Dev Ops | Fin Ops at Tata Consultancy4.5I use Harness mainly for automated Canary continuous delivery, appreciating its user-friendliness and crucial deployment approval steps. While initial setup can be complex, it's reliable for web applications and Kubernetes, and I recommend it for similar infrastructures.
Quality Engineering Lead at a logistics company with 51-200 employees4.0I find Harness stable, scalable, and crucial for compliance and security testing, significantly shortening build times and speeding deployments, yielding 20-30% efficiency gains over Jenkins. I'd like more clarity on its tiered pricing, and it does have a learning curve.
Software Engineer at Citi4.0I used Harness for CICD for Java microservices, finding it integrated pipelines and monitoring conveniently, reducing deployment time significantly. However, stability decreased with many applications, experiencing intermittent failures, and I preferred the older UI.
Senior Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0I primarily use Harness for zero-downtime rolling deployments. Its features, like AI error suggestions and Vault integration, are valuable. While stable and scalable, I occasionally observe failures deploying multiple components across environments, an area needing improvement.
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5I use Harness for deploying applications, building pipelines, and running security scans, appreciating its YAML/Terraform features for easy scaling and collaboration. While stable and scalable, UI improvements are needed. I recommend its AI capabilities.
