DeployHQ

Amazing for a personal project deployments

Comments: I am totally happy with DeployHQ and will use it and recommend it to my friends and colleagues. Great job!

Pros:

I needed a deployment tool only for one project, and DeployHQ fit perfectly because it allows deploying one project for free.

Cons:

I had to spend some time configuring the server and deployment, but the support was very helpful and I solved all the issues pretty fast.

Our favourite software and the longest subscription ever

Comments: DeployHQ is absolutely critical to our workflow as a development team who maintains many projects across dozens of servers and different environments. DeployHQ's simple setup and management makes it tenfold better than alternative solutions. We've had a DeployHQ account now for several years, far longer than any other subscription we've held.

Pros:

Pain-free setup and maintenance, with granular team control, templates, and an intuitive user interface.

Cons:

The design is somewhat outdated, but it is not poor. I would be cautious about updating it, as that could risk altering the user experience. However, a fresh coat of paint would be very beneficial.

Reliable and Fast Setup with Full Control

Comments: It has always been my go to service even after trying many other CI/CD services that just seem to waste my time with endless configuration and writing of YML files or confusing processes to get what I need. DeployHQ is the most intuitive to me.

Pros:

I can set up deployments from pushes to my GitHub development branches to my various staging servers in 10 minutes and know it's going to work reliably. I can control all of my build commands, store secrets, choose at which point in the deployment process commands are executed and more. Full control while still being easy to setup and maintain.

Cons:

I really don't have any complaints. Maybe if I had an extremely specific deployment and CI process I needed to implement where I needed to have extremely granular control over which software was running on the server and which packages were included, but that is very rare and is probably possible within DeployHQ. I just have not used it in that way yet.

Great support & easy to use

Comments: Used this for a few years now, solid and great support

Pros:

Excellent support when we were unable to setup a new server which turned out to be a problem on our server.

Cons:

Of course you'd always want it to be cheaper

A godsend for giving clients insight and control over deployments

Pros:

DeployHQ gives a friendly and easy-to-use interface that I can set up and share with clients and their in-house IT staff. It allows them to see the status of deployments and roll out changes when they want. It gives me a way to move them on from command line deployment scripts and complicated systems that their teams use a couple of time and then ignore.

Cons:

When setting up zero downtime deployments it's annoying that the starting folder has to be empty which is a problem if you are porting an existing setup to DeployHQ.
