Review on Octopus Deploy by Roy Boone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool in case anyone needs quick testing capabilities

The interface is very straight forward and easy enough for someone familiar with git/svn/hg version control systems to get up and running quickly. I like that it can be used from command line or from within Visual Studio, which is great when you have a lot of different environments to manage. Sometimes it's hard to tell which environment is being deployed to - maybe this could be improved. It would be nice if there were some way to limit the scope of changes that could be made without having to do a full deploy each time. It's good as a one-stop shop for deploying all of my test, staging and production environments. I like how easy it is to use this platform as an end user because you don’t need to have any technical skills or coding experience to be able to deploy your application with minimal effort. The best thing about octopuses deployment is that if something goes wrong, it can help you resolve issues very easily. This service allows users to control their applications remotely. It also helps me deploy my ASP NET Core Web API project locally without having to connect them manually each time.
