Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point

We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business. Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

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

"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."

"Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times."

"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."

"It is vital to our business to have quick and robust builds, and TeamCity is helping us to keep everything tidy and under control."

"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."

"General ease of use, quick start up time, and the NUnit build runner are the most valuable features for us."

"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."

"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."

"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."

"I have not yet implemented the remote build feature, but this will be a big plus. We want to be able to build legacy products on a build agent without developers needing to have obsolete tool sets installed on their local PC."

More TeamCity pros

Cons

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

"The integration between other solutions and TeamCity could be smoother."

"It'd be great to see future built-in support for Octopus Deploy."

"Occasionally issues deploying software using the tool due to configuration issues within the tool (mostly around powershell configuration)."

"However, in TeamCity, the whole build is like a whole block, and there is no way to stop."

"Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers."

"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."

"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."

"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."

More TeamCity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."

"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."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
