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

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"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."
"TeamCity is very stable, is easy to set up and maintain, and once everything is configured there is almost zero time needed to maintain it."
"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."
"The solution has been fantastic for our organization due to the fact that we do not need a designer having to build the product and we don't need to figure out how to deploy it either, creating improved efficiencies which have saved us time and expense."
"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."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"Time to deployment has been reduced and it has helped in preventing us from deploying breaking changes into production."
"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."
 

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."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."
"Occasionally issues deploying software using the tool due to configuration issues within the tool (mostly around powershell configuration)."
"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."
"Features I would like to see in TeamCity: Allow for shared resource locks across multiple build configurations (i.e. deploy then run integration tests against the same environment)."
"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."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"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."
 

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."
