Build Automation Tools are used as a part of the software development lifecycle where software source code is compiled into computer machine language code by means of a build script. Build automation is a crucial step in moving towards a continuous delivery model and is an important part of what has become known as DevOps, or the set of best practices around establishing a more agile relationship between Development and IT Operations.

GoCD is used throughout the whole global AdNovum group. It's the backbone of our CI/CD system. GoCD is tightly integrated into our SCM system, our binary repo system, as well as both our internal on-premise VMs and our Azure subscription. So our engineers make changes to the code, create a PR to trigger a PR build to verify the changes. After merging to main branch, as well as on a daily basis, we have pipelines to build the main branch then push the daily artifacts to binary repo. Another daily pipeline then pick things up to deploy to a testing environment. Promotion from daily environment to other ones are triggered as needed. Everything automated!

Pipeline-as-Code works really well. All our pipelines are defined in yml files, which are checked into SCM.
The ability to link multiple pipelines together is really cool. Later pipelines can declare a dependency to pick up the build artifacts of earlier ones.
Agents definition is really great. We can define multiple different kinds of environments to best suit our diverse build systems.

I miss the ability to have custom build parameters on GUI. So, all the changes even the smallest ones have to be checked into SCM.
If there's an ability to define the priority of the pipelines, that would be great. Some build environments only have a couple of agents, so there are times that builds have to wait for quite a long time.
I wish that I can create a new view for a group. Currently, if I have a view for group A, then more pipelines are added to that group, I have to edit the view to manually add the new pipelines.

Pipeline-as-Code
Automatic triggers
Clean & clear GUI

Automated CI/CD improves quality tremendously
People can spend time on more interesting activities instead of repeated tasks
Peace-of-mind when the changes are well-tested multiple times

GoCD is being used for setting up a deployment pipeline for our dev environment and also when the application is ready to be deployed to production. It has built-in support for setting up the environment, different environment variables for each step and also it supports both Linux and Windows build agent.

Easy Setup for deployment pipeline
Environment Variables for each step
Supports both Windows and Linux agent
Highly customizable

UI can be improved
Location for settings can be re-arranged
API for setting up pipeline

ROI has been good since it's open source
Settings.xml need to be backed up periodically. It contains all the settings for your pipelines! We accidentally deleted before and we have to restore and re-create several missing pipelines
More straight forward use of API and allows filtering e.g., pull all pipelines triggered after this date
