Easy to use and works right away
There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white. I used Nx in the past on an older Mac, and it seemed more accessible then. The challenge lies in the small space and difficulties in saving. If these issues can be addressed, Nx could become a more user-friendly and effective solution. In the future, to improve Nx, I think enhancing the partition manager in TDE would be beneficial. Currently, it lacks features like specifying the Mount Point, which is important for organizing the root and other directories. The Nx Partition Manager does a decent job, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, it would be great if the installation process could provide more details on what Nx is doing, especially regarding networking setups.

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

"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."
"With Teamcity, our build/packaging process and the ensuing deployment via Octopus Deploy takes less than half an hour."
"I spend less time scripting to get a build working and more time configuring TeamCity through its web-based front end."
"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."
"TeamCity allows us to have self-sufficient development teams that can create their own builds and deployments."
"The setup is extremely straightforward."
"Continuous integration has reduced build failures and highlighted issues sooner."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
 

Cons

"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
"The UI could be more structured, as it is so customisable it is quite easy to get lost around the screens."
"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."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"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."
"The integration between other solutions and TeamCity could be smoother."
"I need some more graphical design."
"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."
"This product lacks real reporting for all the information it captures; we should be able to create reports or dashboards for management."
 

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…
