Top Rated DeployHQ Alternatives
It's kind of easy to set up and has several useful features. If you have a not-too-big project, maybe you just have one server in cloud, you can use the SFTP option without any crazy configuration.
If you can spend some more time you can use the Atomic option and have a better experience during the release, basically your website won't experience any downtown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The service is completely unreliable. I've been using Deploybot for the last 4 years with different companies and I've completely lost count of all the problems. Anyway, just to give a short list of the main problem you will encounter:
1. The ofter loose connection with your repository. The problem is that you don't get any notification of any kind, you just notice that your release is not going online because they don't catch the commits. Therefore you have to manually open a refresh-webhook link. Again is not just that they lose this connection, is the complete absence of any message telling you what to do/what's wrong;
2. Many many MANY times they have a slowdown in their servers that results in: you cannot release anything, any attempt just add one release request to a Queue that - sometimes - won't be executed for several hours.
3. Sometimes they don't upload the whole commint. Basically your commit has the file a,b,c in it. In deploybot's logs they say a,b,c updated but, when you check your server, you'll discover only a and b have been actually uploaded. This is - imho - the worst problem of all. This has resulted in 3 occasions (3!!) to have to manually log into the server and upload the correct files via SFTP!
4. The experience to open a ticket is just ridiculous. You have one form where you cannot even select the gravity of your ticket. For them either you have a random question or everything is broken apparently has the same priority;
5. The customer service sucks. I'm sorry but I don't really have any other way to say it differently. It seems they forget they are talking to IT expert making you lose time with non-sense questions and answers.
I used to like deploybot for its simplicity. Nowadays I always suggest all of my customers to move to a different service IF they want to avoid having so many problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DeployHQ makes it a piece of cake to push projects to production servers. It takes the hassle out of managing changed files and it's ridiculously simple to set up and use. Having the ability to easily roll back any changes that are causing problems is also a godsend. I've been using it for some years now for different personal and work projects and it's always been reliable. When I have had to get in touch, the support have always been friendly and have told me about features that I didn't even know existed which solved my problem. I'm sure I'll be using it for quite some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm yet to come across any issues at all and therefore can't honestly find fault with the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to setup without any coding and for setting up auto-deployments based on BitBucket commits. Pricing packages seem reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Haven't really come across any dislikes. It works for what I need it to do with plenty of customisability to deployment flows. Maybe the 'free' tier could offer a little more but again, pricing is reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love DeployHQ! I've tried other similar tools but DeployHQ has the perfect balance of features and ease of use. The support is also great. The free tier is also great if you only have one site and don't need to deploy too often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of anything I don't like about DeployHQ. It's awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like parallel mode of deployment. I like reliability of the service. Also You don't need to read a lot of documentation to start working with it. And the most valuable feature for me it is parallel deployment to many nodes that saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn't like how SSH keys management worked. It was not clear at the first attempt. This could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Extremely easy to setup and deploy to SFTP locations with the ability to rollback, set IP limits, network agents etc. Customers support is flawless and any issues get sorted easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not able to run commands directly in DeployHQ to send webhooks to third party integrations where we track deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DeployHQ makes it simple to move files from a repository to the webservers at a click of a button. I used to drag and drop the files by FTP; now once it's set up, you select your commit and hit deploy! Also comes with zero downtime, which is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't fault it. It took a little setup, but once you have everything sorted, it's a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like Deploy HQ because it allows me to deploy code with ease. The interface is very well designed. I like the history of the deployments. Easy access and management of multiple projects at once. I like to schedule my deployments. Especially for daily use and the ease of integration with different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I don't like is that if the login data is not correct, you have to create the server again, which means you have to implement everything with all the commits again. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the environment in which it is implemented. It tells you to pay attention, but maybe add icons, colors, or other ways to distinguish them. What I don't like at the moment is the fee. The support in the free tier is nonexistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using deployHQ for a few years and very regularly and am very satisfied.
The service has always worked. Setting up a project with multiple servers is extremely quick and easy. You can specify the branch that must be deployed on a server, run ssh scripts before and after deployment for example and the UI is great .
The rare times I needed support, I never waited on the chat. I always have someone ready to help me. You can change your package whenever you want if you need fewer or more projects. I recommend ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For the moment, I don't see any negative points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My current workflow was to use Filezilla for Deployments which was tedious and very very unorganized.
A few weeks ago a friend of mine recommended DeployHQ to me and it's litterally the best for easy deployments over GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only problem is that the pricing is a bit expensive if you have a lot of little sideprojects with different domains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DeployHQ is so incredibly easy to setup and use! My favorite feature is probably the ability to schedule deployments at a future date. No more 1am deployments for my team. It's also nice to not be charged for additional users. We are all in there multiple times a day, so it's handy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the build tools can run very, very slow. Would love to see that improve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
