We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure DevOps and Octopus Deploy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the tracking and that we can monitor our velocity."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CI/CD pipeline, and the testing automation."
"The installation is straightforward. We can create a whole new organization in less than a day."
"I think the most usable thing is that you can follow the whole progress of the development process. This makes it very useful for us."
"The simplicity is very good and the customer experience is also great."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."
"Fields can be customized and the reporting is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it brings order to our projects, and we know the status of each one at every moment."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective."
"Some of the queries, the way they're built, need to be looked at. We need better query tools."
"Microsoft could improve Visual Studio by making it easier to find the plugins you need to get your job done. Maybe they could implement an AI search instead of a simple tech search. Sometimes, people come up with a catchy name for something, and you don't know how it's spelled. For example, a developer might come up with a packet wizard and spell weird, like P-A-K-I-T."
"The solution can improve by adding integration with on-premise tools. The only built-in repository options are GitHub and DevOps."
"Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves."
"They could provide clearer guidance on deployment practices for the product."
"The UI, the user experience, is challenging for newcomers."
"The main issue that I have is the connection speed. Sometimes, the response is too slow. I am based in Taiwan, and I am not sure if it is because of broadband or something else. Its initial configuration is also a little bit difficult."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
