Has significantly improved our deployment process by automating tasks that were previously done manually, but integration is very time consuming

We integrate TeamCity with Git for our development process. After the integration, we set up commands using web method integration to allow users to create builds and perform other tasks. These builds are then deployed on our internal servers We've found that TeamCity has significantly…

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."

"TeamCity's GUI is nice."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More TeamCity pros

"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."

"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."

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

"There are a lot of services available in VMware Tanzu Application Service, such as databases and application servers. You have everything you need in one application and you do not need to search outside of the solution."

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

"The multi-tenancy with the VCD is great."

"The valuable feature I have found to be the management of Kubernetes clusters in a private cloud or public clouds, such as Azure or Google Cloud Platform."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to check the flow of all the different variants within our applications."

Cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"I need some more graphical design."

More TeamCity cons

"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."

"Another area of improvement is pricing."

"Tanzu could provide more granular control over whatever networking is being done on the containers. I would also like to see a slightly more detailed view of application-level tracing. I'm referring to the connections between different microservices. If they added a service-matching feature, that would be helpful for the customers to build or be more effective."

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

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

"The infrastructure is quite challenging."

"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."

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

"The licensing cost is expensive."

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

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

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

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

"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…
