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."What I like most about Azure DevOps is how easy it is to manage projects and control deployments."
"We can forecast tasks and the number of hours a task will take and can compare it with how long a task actually takes."
"It's a complete solution that has everything you need."
"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."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"It's very user-friendly, and the documentation is good. The most valuable feature is backlog item creation, where we pick features and other things. The burndown chart created for projects to be maintained by the development teams is also useful."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The tutorials for building pipelines are an area that is a bit technical for a beginner."
"I want DevOps to have more automated reminders about tasks that don't need management. We don't have reminders, so a project manager must track the tasks. It's not automatic."
"Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective."
"All of the tests of the applications are done on the mobile or web interface and it could be improved."
"I think Azure DevOps could improve the traceability or business intelligence about the execution of DevOps processes."
"I can't think of any specific things at the moment, but I've run into things that I didn't like. I came across something that I wanted to be changed in DevOps, but I can't remember what it was. It was a particular feature I was looking for that I couldn't find."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"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."
