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…

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

"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."

"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."

"It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."

"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."

More TeamCity pros

"A feature we find valuable is that other products can also be integrated with Mission Control. This means that we can see the status of specific clusters, as well as view the monitoring application logs all from one point."

"I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment. TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything."

"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

"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 Day 2 operations support is the most vital feature"

"The most popular feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is its graphical user interface for describing network policies on the Service Mesh, which is highly integrable with other tools commonly used in supply chains such as security."

"Tanzu is easy to upgrade and scale, whether we're talking about horizontal or vertical scaling. It is as smooth as possible without any downtime. The platform maintenance, upgrading, and operations part is very smooth."

More VMware Tanzu Platform pros

Cons

"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."

"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More TeamCity cons

"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."

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

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

"We want to see a new feature that helps build more security architecture like Zero Trust Security or shifting left in Kubernetes."

"VMware Tanzu Service Mesh could add better integration with other cloud platforms, such as vRealize Automation or VMware vCloud Director for cloud providers."

"The infrastructure is quite challenging."

"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."

"The solution is currently focused on VMware infrastructure and I would like to see more options made available."

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."

"The solution is bundled in with Cloud Foundry so the pricing is not independent."

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

"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 licensing cost is expensive."

"The product is not expensive, but it is not cheap."

"There are different licenses available. You have to upgrade your license if you want to scale the solution more."

"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."

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…
