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
I find the TeamCity backend easily accessible. Users can login to the Linux servers that TeamCity is installed on and perform operations. Also I find the ability to template solutions using the meta runner a good feature as well as the user management feature. There is a display that shows which user made recent changes to a branch on GitHub, including the time the changes were made and the particular agent that ran the job. This is also a very useful feature. The metrics and audit available for projects, pipelines and jobs come in handy when debugging.

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."
"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."
"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"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."
"Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products."
"It is very easy to use, and its speed is impressive, allowing the code to be ready for production in seconds."
"TeamCity is more structured and user-friendly than other vendors."
 

Cons

"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
"I need some more graphical design."
"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."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"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."
"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."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"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."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."

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…
