Versatile agent support boosts builds but UI and setup costs need refinement

TeamCity's user interface could be improved; specifically, the tree structure on the homepage is not clear, making it difficult to search for projects. Moreover, there are some limitations related to the version we were using. For instance, there were issues with agent specifications for particular build jobs and a timeout issue where jobs running longer than three hours would fail automatically.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."

"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."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration. It also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications."

"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."

"With Teamcity, our build/packaging process and the ensuing deployment via Octopus Deploy takes less than half an hour."

"TeamCity is very stable, is easy to set up and maintain, and once everything is configured there is almost zero time needed to maintain it."

"I spend less time scripting to get a build working and more time configuring TeamCity through its web-based front end."

"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."

"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."

More TeamCity pros

Cons

"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."

"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."

"The UI for this solution could be improved. New users don't find it easy to navigate. The need some level of training to understand the ins and the outs."

"Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers. I would like them (or partner with someone) to provide training classes to help newcomers get things up and running more quickly."

"It'd be great to see future built-in support for Octopus Deploy."

"I need some more graphical design."

"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."

"This product lacks real reporting for all the information it captures; we should be able to create reports or dashboards for management."

"Occasionally issues deploying software using the tool due to configuration issues within the tool (mostly around powershell configuration)."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The licensing is on an annual basis."

"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."

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…
