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.

Easy to register multiple Kubernetes clusters, offers a single pane of visibility on its dashboard, and perform lifecycle management operations

Our TMC usage was limited, and exploring it further was hindered by the lack of an on-premise model. Due to compliance issues with the SaaS model, we couldn't proceed with it as a production-grade product. So, an on-premises model would have been useful for us. VMware rolled out an on-premise model for TMC, allowing for an on-premises implementation, which we learned about six months ago. Also, cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue. Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us. Smaller and medium businesses might hesitate due to the price tag. VMware can be quite expensive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products."

"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."

"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."

"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes."

"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."

"The integration is a valuable feature."

"It is very easy to use, and its speed is impressive, allowing the code to be ready for production in seconds."

"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."

More TeamCity pros

"The observability platform and end-to-end service portal provided by Tanzu are the most valuable features."

"The most important thing about the solution is its flexibility."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is the management functionality of the cluster life cycle. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other vendors, such as Velero for backups and Sonobuoy for compliance. Additionally, it works well in multi-cluster environments."

"The solution is integrated very well with a lot of other systems. Also, its GUI is very good."

"It definitely gives the end customer a good overview and perspective of running applications in terms of overall workload footprint. TMC provides a very detailed description of your cloud-native application in the form of graphical visualization."

"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."

"The most important feature of Tanzu Mission Control is its integration with the other products, especially with ESX and vSAN. This is a strong part of Tanzu Mission Control. In other solutions, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes, you can find similar features, but they don't have similar integration. With Tanzu Mission Control, you get a total solution with only one provider. You have the integration with the infrastructure, virtualization of networking, and virtualization of storage. You have a natural integration, and you don't have the problem of integrating it with different products or providers. Sometimes, different companies have good integration, but it is not always guaranteed. For example, many years ago, Cisco and VMware were good partners in networking, but when VMware started to sell ESX, the relationship was broken. This is the problem that you can face when you are using solutions from two different companies."

"Tanzu Mission Control has quite a set of rich features when compared to OpenShift."

Cons

"The integration between other solutions and TeamCity could be smoother."

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

"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."

"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."

"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."

"I need some more graphical design."

"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."

"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."

More TeamCity cons

"The network control and security policies must be improved."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions such as HPE."

"The product should support integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)"

"It is not easy to build a solution with containers. It has a graphical user interface, but you need to have a lot of knowledge of Linux and how to work in the command mode. Its support can also be improved. Currently, its biggest disadvantage is that it is a new product, and the clients prefer to go for a solution that has been in the market for a long time. There are not that many people who know this product."

"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."

"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."

"Tanzu provides better manageability as compared to OCP, but when it comes to tagging it with other products, it's a bit rigid. If I have to bring in any new product or something out of the box from a different vendor, working with Tanzu becomes a little difficult. For example, if I want to use the F5 services, I have to add one more layer of Avi, but I don't want to do that. If I have a list of the products that I want to use, such as for firewall services, with Tanzu, I will have to go through another layer, which creates complexity."

"Addressing the high upfront costs could improve the product. Implementing a subscription-based model with tiered service options could make it more accessible to a broader range of customers."

More VMware Tanzu Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is not the most expensive option, and I believe the capabilities align well with the value it provides."

"Its pricing is very competitive. We get around 70% or 75%, sometimes even 80%, discount on the product. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"The licensing cost is expensive."

"Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us."

"The price of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is greater than that of Red Hat's competitor solution"

"The solution is only for large or medium size enterprises because it is expensive."

"VMware Tanzu Mission Control is cheaper than Red Hat OpenShift."

"The license for VMware Tanzu Application Service is expensive. The license should be cheaper."

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…
