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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
