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.

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

"For each build that runs where I need to generate a code, it takes around half an hour instead of an hour and a half."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products."
"I have used Jenkins, TFS, Cruise Control .net, and GO, and I switched from using Cruise Control .net as TeamCity is easier to use and displays important information very well, with great support for integrating to other products from JetBrains and other vendors such as Atlassian, JIRA, and Windows AD."
"I spend less time scripting to get a build working and more time configuring TeamCity through its web-based front end."
"When we discovered TeamCity, it totally speeded up our workflow."
"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."
"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration, and it also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"This product lacks real reporting for all the information it captures; we should be able to create reports or dashboards for management."
"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."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this was first attempted."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
 

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."
