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

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

"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."

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

"The templates allow a consistent configuration on how an application is built, and by combining the use of the meta-runner and build templates, the whole organisation understands, and follows, this convention."

"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."

"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."

"Do it! Very easy to use and very stable."

"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."

"The integration is a valuable feature."

"When we discovered TeamCity, it totally speeded up our workflow."

Cons

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

"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."

"I would like to see an improvement where TeamCity alerts us via email or another medium if there are discrepancies between the code in the staging environment and what has been deployed to production, such as missing updates."

"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts."

"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."

"This product lacks real reporting for all the information it captures; we should be able to create reports or dashboards for management."

"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."

"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."

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."
