Mansoor-Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.

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.

"Within three months of going live on Bitrise, we moved to weekly releases, and now we have a reliable hotfix pipeline that can ship a production build within 45 minutes to an hour of a fix being merged."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."

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

Cons

"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. New users don't find it easy to navigate; they need some level of training to understand the ins and the outs."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"However, in TeamCity, the whole build is like a whole block, and there is no way to stop."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"The UI could be more structured, as it is so customisable it is quite easy to get lost around the screens."
"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."
