Octopus Deploy Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines DevOps platforms as those that provide fully integrated and orchestrated capabilities to enable continuous delivery of software using agile and DevOps practices. The capabilities span the development and delivery life cycle built around the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, including planning, creation, artifact management, security, quality engineering, change management, compliance, environment management, deployment and monitoring. DevOps platforms support team collaboration, consistency, tool simplification and measurement of software delivery metrics. They are delivered primarily as cloud-hosted services with some options for on-premises deployment. DevOps platforms simplify the creation, maintenance and management of the components required for the delivery of various types of modern software. Platforms create common workflows and data models, simplify user access, provide production-like development and test environments, and provide a consistent user experience (UX) to reduce cognitive load. They lead to improved visibility, auditability and traceability for the software delivery value stream. This end-to-end view encourages a systems-thinking mindset and accelerates feedback loops. Organizations use DevOps platforms to minimize tool friction resulting from complex toolchains, manual handoffs and lack of consistent visibility throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). This enables product teams to deliver faster customer value without compromising quality. The DevOps platforms market reflects the consolidation of technologies across development, security, infrastructure and operations to streamline software delivery.

pretty good software, they changed the pricing model so we will probably drop it

Systems Engineer

It is an incredibly robust continuous delivery platform that handles complex, multi-tiered architecture with ease. It successfully bridges the gap between development output and our live infrastructure, provided the deployment targets are logically grouped and maintained.

Octopus Deploy is a company focused on deployment automation in the DevOps realm. The company assists software teams in deploying their applications as needed in a routine fashion, simplifying complex deployments with their universal deployment automation solution. Octopus Deploy was founded in 2012 and has continued to focus on the release, deployment, and operations parts of DevOps. The company manages software delivery in diverse IT infrastructures, including data centers, multi-cloud, and hybrid IT. They provide configurable deployment steps and make deployments simple and consistent no matter where the software is delivered. They also assist in the management of environment differences, and offer Octopus Runbooks for automation of routine and emergency operations. Lastly, they provide DevOps Insights that utilises DORA metrics to track performance and identify areas for improvement.


Octopus Deploy sets the standard for deployment automation for DevOps. We help software teams deploy freely ‚Äì when and where they need, in a routine way. More than 3,000 organizations and 350,000 users worldwide use our universal deployment automation solution to make their complex deployments easy. 

Founded in 2012, we are backed by Insight Partners and remain focused on being "best-in-class" in the release, deployment and operations parts of DevOps.

From modern containers and microservices to trusted legacy applications, Octopus orchestrates software delivery in data centers, multi-cloud, and hybrid IT infrastructure.

- Release: Set once, deploy often. Configure your deployment steps, create a new release, and use that process consistently across your environments.
- Deploy: Octopus makes deployments simple and consistent wherever you deliver software. Deploy to the cloud, data centers, or on-premises servers without duplication. Store your deployment process as code in your favorite Git service and branch and merge within Octopus.
- Configure: Octopus knows environments can differ - separate databases for QA and Production, for example. Manage those differences and keep deployments reliable with snapshots and variables.
- Operate: Octopus Runbooks helps automate routine and emergency operations with the same best practices as deployments. Create repeatable tasks that save you time, reduce the risk of human error, and simplify access management.
- Measure: Higher deployment rates lead to better business performance. Octopus's DevOps Insights uses DORA metrics to tell you exactly how you're performing so you can find areas for improvement.

Accelerate software delivery with repeatable deployments using Octopus Deploy.
