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."
"It is very easy to use, and its speed is impressive, allowing the code to be ready for production in seconds."
"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"General ease of use, quick start up time, and the NUnit build runner are the most valuable features for us."
"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."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"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."
 

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."
"There have been times when making copies of a project has caused major stability issues, especially when you have nested project structure based off of different build configuration templates."
"Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers."
"I need some more graphical design."
"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."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"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."
"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
 

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."
