“Octopus Deploy Streamlines Multi-Environment Management and Variable Injection Processes”

5.0
Dec 23, 2025
We utilize Octopus Deploy for continuous deployment, and it aligns perfectly with our operational requirements. A standout feature is it's ability to manage multiple environments and handle variables seamlessly across them. Because the platform simplifies variable injection, complex scripting is unnecessary. Furthermore, it allows us to promote releases between environments efficiently and without friction. The roll back functionality is also simple, we just need to select the last known good release and deploy to the environment.

Octopus Deploy Likes & Dislikes

Like

The feature I like most is its ability to handle variable injection between the environments. We can easily add variables at the global or project level and can easily scope between environments. It is very easy to manage and doesn't require deep knowledge to understand the functionality.

Like

kubernetes deployments/releases are pretty seamless

Like

The UX of the product is really second to none, and its very intuititive to use for myself and our developers, following a deployment from environment to environment is super simple.

Dislike

While we are completely satisfied with the platform's feature set, the cost can occasionally feel high. However, the comprehensive capabilities provided ultimately justify the investment.

Dislike

i noticed using github sourced yamls dont log errors as well as it should teams and roles are a bit restrictive the implementation of having reviews before a release is approved could be a bit more intuitive

Dislike

The administration is where I think more focus needs to be, in the sense, its hard to manage the vast amounts of projects, workers, groups we require. The workers are not very scalable based on demand, we need to guess how much capacity we require, which leads to us wasting resources when capacity is low, we use docker workers fyi.

    Support Is Responsive, But Scalability And Administration Remain Persistent Challenges

    5.0
    Oct 30, 2025
    I rate it a 4 out of 5 as the support we have received from the vendor on issues we have are always listened to and they try their best to resolve in a timely matter. I left a star out as some wishes we have requested which are long standing pain points for us (scalability) are not being answered satisfactorily.
