Reviews of Octopus
great release managemnet utiltiy
Pros:
We use octopus in conjunction with jenkins to automatically deploy code based on rules we set up. The automated versioning is very valuable to our team as it helps various developers keep their changes in sync. Before we deployed this solution, we had to do manual code deploys , and updates were put in the wrong place, changes overlaid etc.. Now we can just kick off the jenkins script and let octopus handle the rest!
Cons:
for the features I use with this utility, I have no cons. Maybe my only gripe might be to choose a slightly different font and maybe a less white background. But that is just nit picking great software!
Lifesaver tool for Octopus tool- Highly recommended
Comments: Great experience. It makes life easier in terms of projects deployments
Pros:
Best tool for releasing the code pushed and to configure the servers.
Cons:
Deploying IIS projects can hang up the tool which eventually can hang up all the project deployments on that particular server

Good product to use with LinkedIn
Comments: So far it has been good. I'm switching to Octopus from a similar software because Octopus can do more.
Pros:
I love that I can send multiple, automated messages to connect with potential LinkedIn prospects. It works quickly along with Sales Navigator (LinkedIn)
Cons:
They don't offer any telephone customer service or chat. For me, I would want someone to walk me through training and use of the product, but they offer extensive youtube videos on multiple topics. I'd rather talk with someone real-time to answer questions.
