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.

Build management system used to successfully create full request tests and run security scans
We use it for running unit tests for merge requests on github. We also use it to build executable artifacts and also for running security scans Time to deployment has been reduced. It has helped in preventing us from deploying breaking changes into production. If the pipelines are configured…

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."
"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."
"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."
"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."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"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."
"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 integration between other solutions and TeamCity could be smoother."

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…
