When considering Build Automation solutions, key features to look for include:
Scalability
Integration capabilities
Version control support
Error reporting tools
Cross-platform compatibility
The ability to scale is crucial in Build Automation, ensuring that as projects grow, the tool can handle increased workloads without sacrificing performance. Integration capabilities allow seamless communication with existing tools and services, enhancing workflow efficiency. Support for popular version control systems is essential for maintaining consistent code management practices. Effective error reporting tools help identify and resolve build issues promptly, minimizing downtime.
Cross-platform compatibility ensures the solution can operate across different operating systems, broadening development possibilities and fostering team collaboration regardless of the environment. By considering these factors, teams can adopt a Build Automation solution that truly meets their requirements.

- works well with your build setup, can extract useful information when something breaks, and display/report it in a useful way.
- setup a useful pipeline shouldn't need days.
- good plugin infrastructure and maintained plugins.
The most important things are simplicity in adding custom functions and rules and simple, intuitive model for getting up and running (the core domain - tasks, dependencies etc.). Documentation is important as well, preferably with a lot of examples.
