Octopus

What do you like best?

Once the pre setup is done, it helps in doing easy deployment across environments just on the click of a button, it has very nice detailed log information system so in event of any issues helps to do quick resolution. we can list down all process, their past history and we can do version controlling. easy to integrate with any tool and simplifies our life. It has a redeploy option in case of any failures and that's added advantage

What do you dislike?

we cannot swiftly move process from one environment to other unless its approved at each environment level, which will cause delay at times when we really need to move the process quickly as per business needs. There is a room for improvements when we do project cloning or project setup initially.
