The picture is misleading, the case and the harness are sold separately and poorly put it in print. When a suggestion was made to fix it, they ignored it. I can't rate the harness as it can't be used without the case.??

Provides a good graphical interface, but the initial setup process needs improvement
What is our primary use case?
We use Harness for deploying Kubernetes clusters. It is a SaaS-based tool with a good graphical user interface. We can create workflows and deployment pipelines and easily visualize them. We can see the logs and understand where the pipeline is breaking. It's a highly customizable DevOps tool.
What is most valuable?
The platform's most valuable features are ease of use and a good graphical user interface.
What needs improvement?
The platform's initial setup process could be simplified. Additionally, security features and capabilities for understanding vulnerabilities within the application could be enhanced directly from the tool. There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex. Limitations regarding reconciliation features and support for certain parts of the infrastructure should also be addressed.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have five Harness users in our organization. Being a SaaS product, scalability should not be an issue.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The decision to use Harness was primarily driven by its secure support for Kubernetes services and user-friendly deployment process, which requires minimal knowledge. The company sought to simplify and reduce the complexity and risks associated with deployment processes. Opting for a SaaS solution allowed them to avoid managing infrastructure and pay on a per-usage basis, providing scalability without the burden of infrastructure management. Additionally, Harness offers features such as log collection, integration with cloud storage services like S3, and auto-healing capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
The pricing aspect needs to be considered first based on your requirements. Secondly, it might be suitable if your team is technically proficient in tools like Argo CD. However, if you have a complex infrastructure and limited personnel to manage it, Harness would be a better choice.
We integrated Harness with Kubernetes, and the setup didn't significantly affect our existing infrastructure. Learning to use Harness for basic tasks is relatively easy, but mastering complex operations may require time and team support.
I rate it a seven out of ten.

Streamlined deployment with reduced manual intervention while helping to define environments
What is our primary use case?
We use Harness as a deployment tool. It allows us to define environments like OpenShift or Kubernetes or Linux servers.
It automates the pipeline system where users can trigger with the master branch. We use Tekton to run without any manual interaction. Once the build is done, it stores artifacts in JFrog, and Harness detects them automatically and executes deployment.
How has it helped my organization?
Harness has been much faster and user-friendly for the end user for deployment purposes. It allows us to do changes in the build stage during deployment, making processes more efficient.
Harness also allows for modifications at the YAML level, which is beneficial for our pipeline and deployment processes.
What is most valuable?
Harness starts integrating with organizations, making everything automated without the need for manual interruption.
It facilitates deployment by allowing a user to push their code into GitHub or Bitbucket and have it deployed without manual management intervention.
What needs improvement?
Even with automation, there's a requirement for manual change requests for approvals. If this is corrected, we could have a totally automated pipeline. Otherwise, we need to use GitLab or GitOps to trigger automatically with every commit.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Harness for four to five months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Harness is stable. There is no high latency or deployment delay, and it has proven to be reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Currently, we are scaling up the pipelines with Harness, which provides functionality to achieve this without any significant issues.
How are customer service and support?
There is a dedicated team within the organization to handle incidents and issues with Harness, so we don't need to rely on external support much.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using a different tool for deployments which had its limitations. Now, we use Tekton for continuous integration and Harness for deployment.
How was the initial setup?
There were no significant challenges with the initial setup. We had a dedicated team for the implementation and were able to get support when needed.
What about the implementation team?
For the implementation, there was a dedicated team handling Harness, which made the process streamlined.
What was our ROI?
Harness offers a user-friendly deployment experience with faster processes compared to the previous tools we were using.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not have information on the pricing, setup cost, and licensing as I am working for a client, and it is handled at the organizational level.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have evaluated Jenkins and Tekton for continuous integration, yet Harness is used for deployment.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Harness to other users. As part of the engineering team, my role includes certifying products for applications, and Harness has proven suitable for our needs. I suggest adopting it based on usage requirements.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
