Overall Satisfaction with TeamCity

TeamCity is our primary build, test, and deploy automation tool. It is the key orchestration piece for the SDLC of more than 12 software products. TeamCity allows us to automate a number of tasks to ensure repeatable results and allows team members to spend more time developing rather than running through the manual work of testing and deploying our software solutions.
  • build automation.
  • Deployment automation.
  • unit test automation.
  • dependency chaining.
  • branch management.
  • The UI is getting a bit dated but has taken on a serious overhaul in recent builds.
  • Build configurations as code uses a push/pull mechanism which feels a bit clunky to use.
  • Branch management and branch scoping of builds.
  • Simple .NET build configuration options.
  • Extremely powerful free tier.
  • Simple agent and server management.
  • Huge improvement in test automation to allow us to find breaks faster.
  • Saves hours a week of developer time in deployment automation.
  • Helped eliminate manual errors in deployments.
Jenkins relies on being open source as the primary driver for its success. This low cost is a huge factor for many companies, both small and large. The professional, free tier of TeamCity offers a huge amount of growth before ever needing to pay anything. I personally also find the user experience of TeamCity to be much better, both from a look and feel, as well as from an out-of-the-box feature set perspective. The big selling feature of ADO is its native integration with Azure. TeamCity integrates very well with out-of-the-box .NET support and greatly simplifies our use of another diverse tooling outside of the Microsoft ecosystem.

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.
