Automated Deployments done right
What do you like best about the product?
Automated deployments, migrations between environment, integration with Visual Studio (and hence Jenkins).
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is unfriendly to use when the number of environments increase. Azure integration could be a significant plus, but not really a 'dislike' per say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated Deployments and Continuous integration.

Keeps our deployment pipeline lightweight, quick, and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The simple interface for seeing multiple products, versions, and environments and managing our deploy workflow is the best part of Octopus.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have some more integration with the rest of our pipeline. Being able to link commit refs and issue numbers would give us better visibility into what has been deployed and where.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We aim to have a light-weight and flexible deploy pipeline since we are a small startup. Octopus gives us a good deployment tool that isn't overly complicated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus' scripting can add more options and power to deployment pipelines
Tentacle Fun
What do you like best about the product?
Massively configurable and with very good level of granularity when it comes to permissions. The seamless integration with other platforms is very welcome too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can get very busy and unfriendly to use when the number of environments ramps up significantly (as it has done in our case). This takes away from what is an otherwise clean and fairly intuitive application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product is a premier tool of choice for the our deployment pipeline. As it interfaces well with the other tools we use (Team City, SVN and GIT), it made for a fairly straightforward choice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about how to best maintain your compliance requirement about separate of duty and security with the way you set up tentacles - it can all be done but it can be challenging.
Octopus Continuous Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Application and Database deployments are done via a simple process of promoting changes thru environments via a lifecycle.
Access is controlled by a variety of providers as well as having an Audit section of past deployments; this really helps with yearly audits for certification and regulation.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since the UI upgrade there is very little to dislike about Octopus Deploy. One area that does need more work is AWS integration however the vendor is aware of this and is providing additional functionality in later releases or via the community library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployments are done in an industry standard way; this is a vast improvement over bespoke deployments from a custom framework. Octopus logs all activity and deployments which helps with troubleshooting deployment issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Octopus's low cost and rich feature set are a winning combination.
The tentacles are reaching all the things
What do you like best about the product?
It was built completely on the concept of remote PowerShell and it treats everything as a package to deploy. This simplified the mindset of how to get work deployed and running. It also had a decent community and fair number of extensions to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was not straightforward to get the actions of what it was doing in the code repo. Which makes it hard to test beyond writing some conventional PowerShell inside your repo. It also felt a little icky packaging some of the things into nuget that you wouldn't normally think to do.
Until recently you couldn't deploy directly to a linux agent which makes sense for a Windows type tool but it still became an issue and needed to be solved in goffy ways.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development workflow including CD.
Immediate benefit of removing as much of the human element of a deploy as possible and really designing a deploy rather than getting a bunch of steps in a wiki.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't just use octopus to deploy also get the configuration of your environment under control. Embrace CD and let things deploy when approved.
Effortless deployments, automated and on demand.
What do you like best about the product?
Makes deploying solutions to both on-premise and cloud services a breeze.
Octopus agile development upgrade cycles - they release a lot of nice features on regular basis.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike. I've been preaching about the product since I started using it.
Initially, their azure support was limited, but thanks to their regular updates, that area has improved greatly.

Smooth, automatic and effective deploys, with no chance of human error.
Quality assured deploys every time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to deploy the same package to every environment, you can. Just use the built-in config transforms to change what's necessary.
Excellent tool!
What do you like best about the product?
OctopusDeploy is Easy to install, configure, use and maintain. OctopusDeploy, comes with out of the box deployment templates, as well as interception points for full customization. There's nothing you cannot deploy wit h this tool. I have automated deployment of Windows services, IIS hosted websites, old school (nested virtual directory) websites, Azure Websites, PowerShell scripts, and even scheduled tasks in windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of something that I dislike about OctopusDeploy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1- Automated deployment to multiple environments in a Continuous Integration /Delivery pipeline.
2- Full audit capability to meet industry compliance.
3- Access control, OctopusDeploy supports, role based security with Active Directory integration

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start automating your build process. You can start with Professional license first for cost considerations. Depending on number of Products that you are deploying, you might never need to upgrade.
Simple and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Octopus Deploy is a simple but very useful tool that makes it easy to deploy our projects. It has a simple clean interface and works constantly. Perfect for organizations that collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow at times. Larger projects take upwards of ten minutes to deploy. Also can take a few minutes to detect changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this tool to automate our build process and track our deployed versions on dev and production sites.
Use to deploy software fronm TFS.
What do you like best about the product?
So much easier than Harvest. Our legacy deployer. Web UI works pretty well, is fairly intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only supposed to be for .net budget packages, we have to use for everything (java, angular spa, static media)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Microsoft doesn't have a good deploy tool and our company is too ignorant to use a mainstream deploy tool that works with multiple technologies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would recommend a more generic deploy tool.
No other product really compares for Automated Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use mainly. It took me about 40 minutes to configure a deployment across 3 environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can seem overwhelming at times because there are so many features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to deploy software securely to our servers. We didn't want developers to be involved in that process and wanted complete, fully automation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford it, there is no better product. We are able to deploy to a scalable infrastructure.
