What do you like best about the product?

Octopus is simply the best deployment software tool out there. It covers all deployment scenarios from traditional packages deployed to Windows hosts, through Containerisation to state-of-the-art serverless deployments of application and IAC in the cloud.

Its learning curve is simple with simple set up, a great UI and easy getting started guides. Its recent shift to Config As Code has allowed it to keep pace with the best DevOps tooling platforms, all while maintaining its simplicity and ease-of-use.

What do you dislike about the product?

The deployment target nature of setting up agents on every physical machine can be a little challenging. Some of the configuration in Terraform such as Tenants can be a little time consuming and clunky. Some aspects, such as Secrets management are not yet fully Config-As-Code.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are transitioning from on-premises hosted applications to the public cloud. We have many tech stacks at differentl levels of maturity. Octopus Deploy is the one tool in our chain that can deploy to all of our use-cases.
