The mostly integrated CI/CD tool
The tool is completely integrated with other devop tools, making easy to work and deploy what you need and if someone goes wrong he will told you too.
CONSThe tool is upgrading and developing more features day after day and some functions isn’t finished yet
Reason for choosing Harness
Harness is much more robustly and have much more functions to our devops day a day
Reasons for switching to Harness
We had lost our dev who has developed all Jenkins scripts and the change to Harness was amazing because we don’t need to script anymore

Harness for the win!
From shopping to inception it's been an absolute blast. Lucky, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] have helped every step of the way to transition to the dumpster fire of Jenkins we had, to the new hotness for our CI/CD.
PROS1) It's not Jenkins, 2) ease of use and setup 3) empowerment for developers to be self service 4) pipeline and workflow malleability 5) no plugins to maintain 6)not jenkins
CONSOnly con is their can be some feature requests to be done (non product impacting) but, they jump right on those. It's pretty cool to grow with harness. That's literally the only thing I can think of.
Reason for choosing Harness
When we had questions our Service rep never responded. Well he did once, two months later after we decided to go with Harness
Reasons for switching to Harness
Have you ever used Jenkins?

Brilliant concept, updates occasionally crash JVM, price gougers
The customer support is generally very good. The concept is outstanding. Being able to record runtime state in production for post-mortem debugging is utterly amazing.
CONSThere are a number of critical application issues described below, but the chief con of Overops is the price. This is *at least* an order of magnitude more than the value that Overops provides, and is a kick in the teeth for surely most startup-level organisations, particularly ones like ours that helped them grow their business. There were at least 3 occasions in 2+ years of use that Overops (previously Takipi) released updates to their agent (which runs in our production JVM) that caused the whole jvm to segfault. This is a pretty poor track record (and it's more than a little ironic that this happens with a *software quality tool*). In all that time we never succeeded in getting a noise-free or complete exception notification channel between Overops and our Slack installation. It would fail to notify about most errors, and routinely report errors we had attempted to filter out. This persisted despite numerous sessions with app engineers.

Hi Joseph - thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Although, we are disappointed you had a poor experience with our software back in 2018 and would love an opportunity to show you how we've made dramatic improvements since then. Please reach out at support@overops.com to schedule a walk through.

Overops: Great software, great support
Overops is easy to use and understand. If configured correctly, it identifies the errors and problems that engineers should find most important. The UI is straight forward as well.
PROSAs an SRE, it helps me to be able to see what errors are being thrown from any particular application. I help manage a stack of at least a hundred microservices, so it is impossible for me to have an in-depth understanding of every single one. If Overops detects an error, it immediately shows me exactly where in the source code this error has occurred, allowing me to communicate clearly to the team responsible for the application as to where they need improvement.
CONSThe deployment process for this software was challenging. We had to engineer a lot of custom solutions to keep it running. For example, we used a hybrid approach (some infrastructure in our cloud, some in Overops') and we had to use a handful of lambdas to facilitate the storage and installation of the Overops collector agent and monitoring agent. If all of this could be encapsulated in a single Cloudformation or Terraform document, it could be deployed easier.

Thank you for the review Andrew! We really appreciate you as a customer and are so glad you find value in our product and customer support.

Great Product for Orchestrating Deployments
A great tool. We implemented it to save the development time on building out a pipeline using other tools like Jenkins. We managed to get a production ready pipeline up and running within a month. Support from Harness is excellent and they are always there to help when required.
PROSThe out of the box functionality does as exactly as it says on the tin. No need to worry about how to implement a deployment method for the infrastructure you are running on. Harness simply lists the deployment methods and the infrastructure type you are deploying to and it just works.
CONSSome of the behind the scenes configuration is slightly confusing (e.g. Harness delegate profiles) but once set-up correctly it works like a charm. Adding bespoke scripting to pipelines can be tricky with selecting the correct configuration options to run smoothly. When things go wrong, the debugging could be improved.
Reason for choosing Harness
Minimal development time and turn around for getting a pipeline up and running.
