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" — 5.0/5 > **Chippy** | *September 17, 2022* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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 > > Great experience. It makes life easier in terms of projects deployments ----- ### "Basic ITSM software" — 3.0/5 > **Dominic** | *July 13, 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pros: - it is a flexible product, - it is quite easy to work with for basic stuff mostly for the end user - Great customer support > > **Cons**: Cons: - Still need to install the product for the admin portion - It is not an intuitive interface, they need to hire an UX specialist - Can get limited rapidly - Some simple feature can take long time to figure out how to use it. > > Track well our ticket Hosted software, so no need to take care of updates ----- ### "Octopus review" — 4.0/5 > **Bernard** | *October 11, 2020* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Convert emails into incoming tickets User friendly and customizable. API allows to integrate with other tools > > **Cons**: Changes request takes a while. n/a n/a > > Great product, easy and would recommend to anyone who's looking for an ITSM tool. ----- ### "Good product to use with LinkedIn" — 4.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *November 5, 2020* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > So far it has been good. I'm switching to Octopus from a similar software because Octopus can do more. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/109492/octopus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
