Harness Alternative: Atmosly

Atmosly offers 50-70% lower TCO with transparent per-cluster pricing (no per-service fees), simpler unified architecture without 15+ separate modules, faster onboarding (days vs months), true Kubernetes-native design, native GitOps integration, and built-in policy-as-code—without Harness's complexity and steep learning curve.

Yes, significantly. Harness charges $25,000-100,000+ annually with per-service fees, per-user costs, and separate module charges (GitOps, CCM, IDP each cost $20,000+). Atmosly offers transparent per-cluster pricing ($24,000-48,000 annually) with unlimited services, unlimited users, and all features included—typically 50-70% lower total cost of ownership.

Yes. Atmosly can import Harness pipeline configurations (YAML) and convert them to visual workflows. Migration typically takes 2-4 weeks with our dedicated support team. You can run both systems in parallel during transition, and we provide pipeline mapping, training, and optimization support. Most teams report faster deployment velocity within the first month.

For CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments, yes—with simpler implementation. Atmosly provides visual pipelines, policy-as-code, GitOps, approvals, multi-cluster management, cost optimization, security scanning, and compliance features. Harness has additional modules (Feature Flags, Chaos Engineering, Service Reliability) that are separate products. If your primary need is Kubernetes CI/CD with governance, Atmosly delivers equivalent or better functionality at lower cost.

Common reasons: 1) Cost - Harness bills escalate quickly with per-service fees and module add-ons. 2) Complexity - 15+ modules create steep learning curves and maintenance overhead. 3) Delegate management - Harness delegates require significant operational burden. 4) YAML complexity - Harness's hybrid YAML+UI approach confuses teams. 5) Slow onboarding - Teams report 2-3 month ramp-up times vs Atmosly's days. 6) Hidden costs - Surprise charges for modules, services, and support.

Harness: Base platform $25,000/year + $100-300 per service + separate modules (GitOps $20K, CCM $20K, IDP $20K). For 50 services with GitOps + CCM, expect $80,000-150,000 annually. Atmosly: $2,000-4,000 per cluster/month ($24,000-48,000 annually) with unlimited services, unlimited users, all features included. Real savings: $32,000-100,000+ annually for equivalent functionality.

Yes, and more natively. Atmosly has first-class ArgoCD and Flux integration built-in (no separate module). Harness GitOps is a separate paid module ($20,000+) that wraps ArgoCD. With Atmosly, you get declarative deployments, drift detection, automatic reconciliation, and GitOps workflows without additional costs or complexity.

Harness requires delegates (agents) in each environment, creating operational overhead: installation, upgrades, networking, resource management, and troubleshooting. Atmosly is Kubernetes-native and runs directly on your clusters using native K8s APIs and service accounts—no separate delegates to manage. This reduces complexity, improves security, and eliminates a major operational burden.

Absolutely. Many teams use Atmosly specifically for Kubernetes CD and deployments while keeping Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI for build/test. Atmosly integrates with any CI system via webhooks, APIs, or GitOps pull mechanisms. This gives you enterprise CD governance without replacing your entire toolchain—something Harness's monolithic approach makes difficult.

Comprehensive migration support: free cost analysis showing Harness vs Atmosly TCO, dedicated migration engineer, Harness YAML import and conversion tools, pipeline-by-pipeline migration plan, parallel running during transition (2-4 weeks typically), team training and best practices, post-migration optimization, and rollback support if needed. We guarantee no deployment downtime during migration.
