Octopus Deploy vs TeamCity: What are the differences?
What is Octopus Deploy? Automated deployment for .NET. Octopus works with your build server to enable reliable, secure, automated releases of ASP.NET applications and Windows Services into test, staging and production environments, whether they are in the cloud or on-premises.
What is TeamCity? TeamCity is an ultimate Continuous Integration tool for professionals. TeamCity is a user-friendly continuous integration (CI) server for professional developers, build engineers, and DevOps. It is trivial to setup and absolutely free for small teams and open source projects.
Octopus Deploy can be classified as a tool in the "Deployment as a Service" category, while TeamCity is grouped under "Continuous Integration".
Some of the features offered by Octopus Deploy are:
- Deploy on-premises or to the cloud, securely
- Built for .NET developers
- Configuration and scripting
On the other hand, TeamCity provides the following key features:
- Automate code analyzing, compiling, and testing processes, with having instant feedback on build progress, problems, and test failures, all in a simple, intuitive web-interface
- Simplified setup: create projects from just a VCS repository URL
- Run multiple builds and tests under different configurations and platforms simultaneously
"Powerful" is the primary reason why developers consider Octopus Deploy over the competitors, whereas "Easy to configure" was stated as the key factor in picking TeamCity.
