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."
"I spend less time scripting to get a build working and more time configuring TeamCity through its web-based front end."
"With Teamcity, our build/packaging process and the ensuing deployment via Octopus Deploy takes less than half an hour."
"The setup is extremely straightforward."
"It was simple and easy to use, with great features which are always customizable."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"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."
"It is very easy to use, and its speed is impressive, allowing the code to be ready for production in seconds."
 

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."
"Net deployment needs improvement. Also, I'd like to see more NuGet/Octopus style features and Azure stuff."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"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)."
"Deployment functions need work."
 

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."
