Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Impressive pipeline efficiency with helpful support and a fairly straightforward setup
We use TeamCity for the CI/CD pipeline. It is used for deploying code from the desktop to the production environment. We push our code to GitHub, which then creates a pipeline to a server using AWS, deploying automatically without errors or conflicts in GitHub branches.  We also use TeamCity's…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products."
"It is very easy to use, and its speed is impressive, allowing the code to be ready for production in seconds."
"Using TeamCity and emailing everyone on fail is one way to emphasize the importance of testing code and showing management why taking the time to test actually does saves time from having to fix bugs on the other end."
"It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"I have not yet implemented the remote build feature, but this will be a big plus. We want to be able to build legacy products on a build agent without developers needing to have obsolete tool sets installed on their local PC."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes."
 

Cons

"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"If TeamCity could create more out of the box solutions to make it more user friendly and create more use cases, that would be ideal."
"We've called TeamCity tech support. Unfortunately, all their tech support is based in Europe, so we end up with such a big time crunch that I now need to have one person in the US."
"I would like to see an improvement where TeamCity alerts us via email or another medium if there are discrepancies between the code in the staging environment and what has been deployed to production, such as missing updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
"Start with the free tier for a few build configs and see how it works for you, then according to your scale find the enterprise license which fits you the most."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.
Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
