Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."

More Inedo BuildMaster Pros →

"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes.""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.""It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack.""One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies.""Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products.""VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support.""The integration is a valuable feature.""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
"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."

More Inedo BuildMaster Cons →

"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted.""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.""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.""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.""Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity.""It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there.""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."

    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 nowadays. The biggest difference upon initial inspection is that TeamCity is far more focused on validating individual commits rather than certain types of tests. Jenkins’ front page presents information that is simply not useful in a non-linear development environment, where people are often working in vastly different directions. How many of the previous tests passed/failed is not really salient information in this kind of situation. Running specific tests for individual commits on TeamCity is far more trivial in terms of interface complexity than Jenkins. TeamCity just involves clicking the ”…” button in the corner on any test type (although I wish it wasn’t so easy to click “Run” by accident). I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins out of the box. There’s a point at which you feel that if you have to scour the documentation to do anything remotely complex in an application, you’re dealing with a bad interface. One disappointing thing in both is that inter-branch merges improperly trigger e-mails to unrelated committers. I suppose it is fairly difficult to determine who to notify about failure in situations like these, though. It seems like TeamCity pulls up the… Read more →
