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."The one thing that really stands out to me is how you can filter and how you can do your reporting and filter the tasks and everything by user."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Microsoft has good integration with its other products, such as Office, Teams, et cetera."
"The solution is scalable."
"Our technical sales staff and business development people need to know how far the developers are on any product that we're developing. DevOps makes it easier for you to see how far along they are with the work because they have a repository where they store everything. There is a portal where you can see what has been done, what has been tested, what is working, and what isn't. I have a huge dashboard with an overview of what the development team is doing from an executive point of view."
"I like the fact that there is built-in Power BI. Both are Microsoft tools. So, you can incorporate dashboard capabilities."
"We use all the DevOps features and services, like reports, Boards, Pipelines, Artifactory, etc. The interface is interactive and intuitive. The platform visuals and workflow are straightforward in Azure DevOps."
"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."
"There are certain features, and reporting that can only be used in PowerBI, but not directly in DevOps."
"Incorporating security tools directly into DevOps is crucial, as many existing DevOps solutions lack robust security features."
"I would like to see improvement in the metrics and the dependencies."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
"The interface is very bad."
"There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking."
"The installation time of this solution depends on the environment it is being implemented in. We had a couple of projects that took around two weeks of implementation. This included the whole integration of the DevOps and everything together."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"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."
