## Harness Platform Reviews
  ### 1. Harness - World of automation

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sunil A. | SRE Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2025

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Harness is straightforward to use and really speeds up getting work done. The built-in connectors are especially useful, making integrations smooth and hassle-free. It provides a broad set of features, covering CI/CD, security, observability, cost management, and more. On top of that, its ability to integrate with other tools makes it a comprehensive and adaptable platform for modern DevOps workflows.
Plus, its very easy to implement.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Since it’s a relatively new tool in the market, some basic features are still missing. Additionally, the support system can occasionally be less responsive than expected.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously, we were using multiple Jenkins servers for different teams, which made the setup complex and hard to manage. With the adoption of Harness, everything has become much more streamlined. The flexibility that Harness offers is truly impressive. Its powerful features have helped us significantly reduce code duplication and simplify our overall processes.

  ### 2. Powerful but poor user experience

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The best feature of harness is the ease at which it was integrated into the existing tools we use in our CI/CD pipeline which are a combination of standard/custom services. I use it a few times a week whenever I need to check and start deployments and it always works well.

The API seems to be quite useful as now my colleagues have been able to enbed deployment job links and statuses into our own tooling, so I can see the related depolyment and jump right to it to monitor the status/approve.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

My experience of Harness via the UI is very bad. The deployment graphs always extend off the side of the screen and and key parameters are hidden away in a very cluttered UI. It's also very slow to navigate. I was glad when we were able to build tools that use the API rather than the UI itself! I never tried the customer support but if the design of the UI is an indication of customer centricity I would be worried!

The latest version has the option to toggle the view to vertical, which is better, but speed of loading pages really makes it a drag when searching for and checking op on multiple deployments.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My projects need to be deployed in several environments with verious steps and configurations, and I need ot monitor the state of each deploymehnt. Harness helps me keep track of and manage the process of releasing the software to production safely. It allows me to have an approval step to queue up the jobs and clear them before going to production which is very nice and keeps a record of deployment authroisations.

  ### 3. Best tool for cost optimization and Repository

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Satendra V. | Sr. Cloud Engineer , Automotive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2025

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The best feature of harness is the granular details of cloud resources which will help you while doing cost savings in cloud.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

It will not support multiple filters by account name or services type that is really a big lack.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is will provide you granular view of resources billing that is not possible from the cloud providers and automation in harness is few click away so no need to create code or any manual automation for resources.

  ### 4. It has been flexible enough to meet our needs

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Max P. | Customer Success, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

To streamline deployments without compromising security, it is crucial for software development companies to have a platform that optimises integration and continuous delivery. Harness further reduces our deployment risk with automatic monitoring and rollback capabilities. The user interface is very easy to use; we have been able to halve deployment times from hours to minutes by configuring CI/CD pipelines in a matter of minutes. Unit, integration and performance tests can be seamlessly integrated into the pipeline thanks to test automation. Reports have been invaluable in communicating performance data to stakeholders and showing customers the value we offer.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

The multiple settings and adjustments may confuse some purchasers. Especially if you're new to these tools.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As far as Harness is concerned, my strategy has been to facilitate efficient adoption of the platform by customers. While they may require my assistance during initial setup, many DevOps and development teams quickly recognize the benefits of automation. One of the most important things that has helped customers learn how to improve their operations is personalized training. Automated testing and deployment to various environments were part of the pipeline we established in Harness. Because of this, we were able to deploy the feature smoothly and get favorable feedback from users. We have also introduced proactive support that helps customers identify potential issues before they impact their deployments.

  ### 5. Versatile Platform with Room for Feature Maturity

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2025

It feels like jack of all trades with good options for everything from ci/cd to chaos engineering

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

some of the features are not matured enough.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One single platform for cloud ops and platform engineering

  ### 6. Harness AI

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Manoselvaraj V. | Senior Vice President, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

AI Devops capabilities, Automate QA AI and saving developers time with JMeter support, k6

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Nothing any, I like all the capabilities for scaling and improving the reliability of the ci/cd platform

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automation testing, security scans

  ### 7. Great experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2022

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

It is very flexible. We can easily have some splits in our products and use them to roll out new features step by step. In case of any issue, we can easily disable the feature and fix the issue.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

The product is excellent, there are no drawbacks. Maybe the UI is a bit complex, but that is because the product is compelling and offers many possibilities

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It offers the possibility of quickly rolling out a new feature by percentage, any id, etc.  We are confident that if something goes wrong, we can rollback in no time. It is easy to create a group of accounts that you want to enable or disable a new feauture too. It is also handy to enable/disable the accounts in test environments or even for Beta customers in production environments.

**Official Response from Alyssa Rogers:**

> Hi, thanks for leaving Split a review and letting us know you've been successful with quickly rolling out new features by percentage. It's good to know your team has confidence knowing they can roll back any feature if there's an issue. Thanks again for the review!

  ### 8. Harness is mindblowing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sandeep T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The way Harness can create a pipeline without writing code is mindblowing.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Nothing really. Everything is good. Great product.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SEI and CD

  ### 9. A smooth feature enablement tool that reviles the competition (and home grown solutions)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew C. | Senior Software Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

* Amazing SDK support for many languages, super easy to integrate in new projects
* Audit trail (as long as your devs use it lol)
* Metrics/analytics (though I haven't made massive use of that)
* Dashboard to understand what state various splits are in
* Fast bootup/data retrievel on application boot
* Great support to allow for new splits based on different data
* Extremely simple to understand or show new devs how to launch their features

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

* Our complex test/staging/prod environment setup means that some of the dashboards are harder to follow, a way to create a custom dashboard would be great
* When using the approval system changes get applied the moment all approvals are granted, which has caught my team unaware, we know it now though (we are use to merge request workflows where the person submitting a change controls when it's applied)

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Where I work we have a two weekly release cycle, being able to launch feature behind splits and switch over at opportune moments is crucial. We would often have to hand roll this kind of stuff into our own app/conf/DB...etc. in the past. Now it's just a few clicks over on split and a few lines of code here and there

  ### 10. Good platform for feature flag based experiments.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sanjay R. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The ability to quickly and easily rollout changes incrementally by percent or customer subsets, and easily revert back if needed.  Auditing the split values with the Live Tail and Monitoring is also helpful.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Nothing comes to mind in particular, it just does what I need it to do so far.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Safe rollouts.  The ease of defining customer segments and enabling them for early adoption of a new feature, or doing a slow incremental percentage-based rollout so that it can be monitored and reverted quickly if any problems arise.

  ### 12. A flagship, and fully featured, feature flagging platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kyle B. | Senior Manager of Site Reliability, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The modularity of all the building blocks and the reduction of the number of unique tools developers need to use (and learn) to perform their duties.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

The documenation can be difficult to wade through at times, especially as the platform continually matures and grows.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tool consolation and software delivery consolidation.

  ### 15. Overall solid for the price but lacking quite a bit

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David X. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

It does offer an SDK and feature flags. 

Setup is semi simple

Has a js sdk

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

No typescript SDK

No seperate packages for client and server side SDKs

Occasional failures on the client to fetch feature flags

Ability to split traffic is behind what we had with something like LaunchDarkly. Like their distribute treatments feature isn't like a traffic split at all, and I'm not sure what their traffic split feature actually is.

UI makes it terrible to copy and paste different flags we need to use

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Feature Flags

  ### 16. Experimentation with peace of mind

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Raphael N. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Using split io helped me and my team to easily experiment new features in productions. The interface is pretty clear and the product is very stable. I haven't experienced any bigger problems when using it.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Some experiments has time to expire, it would be nice to set some kind of reminders in split io to remember users to remove the feature flag

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There are some feature in which we are not sure if it is the right fit for the users, for that we use split io in ab testing.
Also sometimes we are working in very complex features in which we are not 100% secure about the side effect, for that we use split io for internal release and then to external users

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Coming from Optimizely, Split has been a breath of fresh air.  The configuration, management of flags and visibility is amazing.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

There is little to dislike, the hardest part of any feature flagging system is keeping it organized and usable as you iterate.  It's not a split issue, but a feature flagging.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We wanted to separate our releases and deploys.  Giving the product team autonomy to manage EAs and feature rollout.

  ### 20. Harness - CD Enabler

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

We used Split to create features that we're beta testing with our users. It exceeded our expectations. It was simple to pause the feature when we experienced a performance decline in th esystem. It was equally simpleto restore the feature once the bugs were fixed and bet atesting coudl continue. Split has become an invaluable tool in our deployent process.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

There is a leraning curve, but I would expect that from a platform with so many tools and features.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Deliver features to beta test volunteers and control how feautres are delivered. Improve the quality of our delivery of value to the user.

  ### 24. Awesome tool, keeps releases easy and allows for controlled rollout

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sophie G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

As a product manager, I have my teams build almost everything using feature toggles with Split.io. This gives me quick and easy control over user/account access and feature rollouts. It also makes testing much easier, and is very user-friendly.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Nothing. We love it! I disike that I have to meet a character limit here.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. Flexibility in the control and timing of releases. 
2. Gives us an easy way to roll out features to smaller groups at a time, by % of users, geo location, or others.  
3. Allows us to test multiple solutions at once, and easily make changes.

  ### 25. Extremely effective A/B testing + feature rollout management software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Extremely straightforward UI. The Split team has done a great job of keeping the feature set narrow + lean, focusing on the core requirements of feature management + experimentation teams. There's no extra bells and whistles that don't need to be there; every single feature is deliberately added.

The SDK integration is straightforward and thoughtful, and the team is very easily accessible any time that issues arise.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

There's less control than I would like in terms of the data that Split passes to third party software that we use for analytics. Would be nice if we had more granular control of the data Split sends.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Split to manage all A/B testing in our product, and we use it to gate access to experimental features to ensure that we're able to catch any bugs before our entire user base encounters them.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lior H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Split is a tool that we rely on heavily when releasing new features. 
We like how quickly changes show up on the client side and how easy it is to use, making it accessible to non-technical people as well. Additionally, we are satisfied with the affordable pricing plan. 
Audit logs provide valuable information to help determine who made changes to the configuration and when those changes were made.
Overall, we use only basic features in Split, but it works perfectly for us. We don't use AB testing or metrics.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Having more metadata or schema in the rules could prevent configuration errors due to typos

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our use case for Split is how to gradually release features to users based on specific rules

  ### 44. Made my life so much easier

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicholas K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

I love how it brings tears to my eyes from the sheer gratitude I feel in that I'm able to easily and instantly implement feature flags and A/B testing for our users, both internal and external. Afforable and quick to implement.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Could use some more verbose documentation on the technical risks related to deployments. We had some total outages occur sporatically when we first implemented.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Couldn't A/B test at all before
Had no scalable way for internal users to test features prior to release
Had no scalable way for internal users to hop between different plans we deliver.

  ### 45. Simplified CD done right

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonathan C. | Site Reliability Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2023

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Harness really lowers the barrier to entry for engineers of all levels to engage, manage, and understand their delivery process. The GUI is very intuitive and offers several views to quickly visualize what's going on in either a map or console based view.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

As a managed service, there's still flexibility and features missing that are easier to implement yourself if you are a pro in other CD tools. However over the past year they have done an amazing job incorporating feedback and adding in feature parity to either allow for or remove the need for custom tweaks.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a smaller company and need to empower our developers to engage and own the deployment process. Our DevOps team kicks things off and creates some basics and from their it's very easy for the feature teams to take ownership. Other free tools I've used in the past typically had a knowledge or experience barrier that was much higher which in turn discouraged this ownership.

  ### 46. Has the core features for split testing and feature flags

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Josh P. | Principle Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

- support for Jira
- features flags support
- A/B testing
- good pricing
- support for grouping users
- lots of support for enviroments and configurations
- good support auditing with required change descriptions

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

- UI was clunky and not always easy to follow
- adding users was manual (no way to see users who have hit Split already to add to a group)
- cant enforce MFA
- support wasn't super helpful when trying to setup Datadog integration (we are using Datadog's Japan instance, which is relatively new)

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Needed feature flags to gate features in production

  ### 47. Seamless A/B Testing with Split.io: A Game Changer!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Siddharth B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Split.io's integration process is a developer's dream. The simplicity and clarity of the integration instructions ensured that I was up and running within no time. What's more, the seamless integration with Vercel, a platform I frequently use, elevated my workflow to new heights. This harmonious partnership is a testament to Split.io's commitment to user convenience.

The performance of Split.io has been flawless in every sense. I've conducted numerous tests without a single glitch or disruption. This reliability has allowed me to focus on refining strategies rather than troubleshooting technical issues – a true time saver.

The user interface strikes the perfect balance between user-friendliness and depth. Even newcomers to A/B testing will find navigating Split.io intuitive. However, the platform doesn't compromise on the comprehensive features needed by seasoned testers.

Administering tests and experiments is a breeze thanks to the well-designed administration panel. Whether it's managing variations, controlling traffic allocation, or monitoring results, Split.io streamlines every aspect of the process.

In conclusion, Split.io has earned my trust and enthusiastic recommendation. With its easy integration, smooth Vercel compatibility, impeccable performance, user-friendly interface, and streamlined administration, it has proven to be an invaluable asset for anyone serious about A/B testing. My testing journey will never be the same, and I'm excited to see how Split.io continues to shape the landscape of experimentation.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

There are a few areas that could be improved upon, although they don't overshadow the overall positive experience:

Pricing Consideration:
One aspect that stands out is the pricing. While Split.io offers exceptional value with its robust features and seamless integration, the pricing might be considered on the higher side for some users. However, I must emphasize that the investment is well worth it, given the seamless testing process, reliable results, and time saved.

Minor Setback:
Beyond the pricing, I've encountered no significant setbacks or concerns while using Split.io. Its performance, integration capabilities, user interface, and administration tools all stand as testaments to its effectiveness.

In conclusion, Split.io has shown itself to be a top-tier A/B testing tool with its remarkable features and capabilities. While the pricing might be a bit steep, the benefits and value it brings make it a sound investment for any serious user.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our product offers different tailored experiences to the different segments of customers that we serve. Enterprise, Mid Market, SMB - Split helps us a lot in managing the rollout of these features.

  ### 48. Insightful conference

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

  ### 49. Taking our experimentation program to the next level

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Smaro  A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2023

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

Split allows us to easily roll out new features to an specific segment of users, also gradually releasing features to gather feedback and monitor their impact before a full release. It has helped us catch bugs early on. 

Metric interface is smooth, it gives an quick overlook of how an experiment is performing with easy to understand statistics.

It also supports collaboration among teams. Multiple teams can work on different experiments simultaneously (for example, using dependencies to isolate experiments).

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Configuration process a bit complex in the beginning, and for smaller experiments it's still dependent on developers to implement the feature flag.

Sometimes metrics displayed on Split are not enough and we have to complement reporting using other analytics tools.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has allowed the whole company to do data driven decision making. It has supported esentially all teams to make informed decisions about whether to continue, modify, or even revert a feature rollout based on its impact on user engagement, conversion rates, or other relevant KPIs.

  ### 50. Lots of great features and get a great user interface for easy navigation.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Harness Platform?**

The implementation of AI assistants and the UI for graphical representation of the ci/cd pipeline.

**What do you dislike about Harness Platform?**

Nothing as of now. I have not done enough testing.

**What problems is Harness Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making the cicd process more beginner friendly and visualizing the process.
