    Mainly used in release management where all deployments are well managed and processed further based on the approval system. Complete enterprise-level solution with minor difficulties which need to be added to product improvement features. Integration with other CI-CD tools makes it easier to perform tasks in terms of release and deployments.

    TeamCity is very quick and straightforward to get up and running. A new server and a handful of agents could be brought online in easily under an hour. The professional tier is completely free, full-featured, and offers a huge amount of growth potential. TeamCity does exceptionally well in a small-scale business or enterprise setting.

    Pros
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    • Cross-team release workflow control using email, texts, scripts allow our release management to be truly a 360 process.
    • XL Release allowing our Jenkins toolchain to control the beginning of release trains which is very powerful.
    • XL release allows us to expose the business process flow for anyone to read direct at the source which runs the process instead of a separate vision.

    • TeamCity provides a great integration with git, especially Bitbucket.
    • When a new code release (build) fails TeamCity has a great tool for investigation and troubleshooting.
    • TeamCity provides a user-friendly interface. While some technical knowledge is required to use TeamCity, the design helps simply things.

    Cons
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    • Pagination of data - across tool.
    • User Roles Management API can be improved.
    • Case insensitive ID's are treated differently making user face login and access issues.
    • Dependency on Universal template/custom plugins creation should be reduced.
    • Code versioning of templates is very difficult.
    • Better error handling.
    • Futures Timeout Issues.

    • The customization is still fairly complex and is best managed by a dev support team. There is great flexibility, but with flexibility comes responsibility. It isn't always obvious to a developer how to make simple customizations.
    • Sometimes the process for dealing with errors in the process isn't obvious. Some paths to rerunning steps redo dependencies unnecessarily while other paths that don't are less obvious.

    Usability
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    The tool is easy to use, easy to navigate and learn. Manages releases with proper approvals in a systematic manner. Though it needs minor improvements in terms of pagination (data loading), access management, but, overall the tool helps in increasing productivity and less time for production deployments.

    TeamCity runs really well, even when sharing a small instance with other applications. The user interface adequately conveys important information without being overly bloated, and it is snappy. There isn't any significant overhead to build agents or unit test runners that we have measured.

    Support Rating
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    Support is not good at all. To this day, I have to mail my queries and their support site does not log in for me (me alone). But, upon contacting many times, no one helps with a proper response. Though good thing is, I get a proper response over mail too. But, being informative about the tool and not on the issues faced by users outside of the process to get support should also be addressed equally. Which is currently missing in support.

    XL release is simpler to configure and deploy to the organization than other change management platforms I have used. That simplicity has minor drawbacks requiring you to fit into a limited set of control methods but that exercise helped us simplify a needlessly onerous process.

    TeamCity is a great on-premise Continuous Integration tool. Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) is a hosted SAAS application in Microsoft's Cloud. VSTS is a Source Code Repository, Build and Release System, and Agile Project Management Platform - whereas TeamCity is a Build and Release System only. TeamCity's interface is easier to use than VSTS, and neither have a great deployment pipeline solution. But VSTS's natural integration with Microsoft products, Microsoft's Cloud, Integration with Azure Active Directory, and free, private, Source Code repository - offer additional features and capabilities not available with Team City alone.

    • TeamCity has greatly improved team efficiency by streamlining our production and pre-production pipelines. We moved to TeamCity after seeing other teams have more success with it than we had with other tools.
    • TeamCity has helped the reliability of our product by easily allowing us to integrate unit testing, as well as full integration testing. This was not possible with other tools given our corporate firewall.
    • TeamCity's ability to include Docker containers in the pipeline steps has been crucial in improving our efficiency and reliability.
