Easy to use and works right away
There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white. I used Nx in the past on an older Mac, and it seemed more accessible then. The challenge lies in the small space and difficulties in saving. If these issues can be addressed, Nx could become a more user-friendly and effective solution. In the future, to improve Nx, I think enhancing the partition manager in TDE would be beneficial. Currently, it lacks features like specifying the Mount Point, which is important for organizing the root and other directories. The Nx Partition Manager does a decent job, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, it would be great if the installation process could provide more details on what Nx is doing, especially regarding networking setups.

Impressive pipeline efficiency with helpful support and a fairly straightforward setup
We use TeamCity for the CI/CD pipeline. It is used for deploying code from the desktop to the production environment. We push our code to GitHub, which then creates a pipeline to a server using AWS, deploying automatically without errors or conflicts in GitHub branches.  We also use TeamCity's…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"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."
"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"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."

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…
