TeamCity Reviews & Product Details

It has basic features that meet a non-zero percentage of our testing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So many basic problems, it would take weeks to write them all out. Obvious examples:

1. No click zone on tiny buttons, so a click that falls within 1 pixel of a '...' button will hit the backing panel, causing chaos in the UI.

2. Triggering a build over the REST API requires setting the branch name twice, even though it would never make sense to set the branch name differently in one place than the other. What's worse, if you forget to set one of the branch name attributes, TeamCity proceeds with the build but marks it as a "default branch build", even if the other branch attribute clearly indicated a non-default branch.

3. Build agents are constantly going offline, or going into some mysterious frozen state, requiring manual restart (or worse). Is it really a problem for a cloud agent pool to sit idle for a few hours while remaining available to start agents on demand?

It appears there is no testing performed internally at TeamCity, and only the most severe issues reported by users are ever resolved. As a supposed contributor to progress in technological capability, JetBrains is a shocking failure, instead making a case for the regression of civilization wherever it is burdened with such pathological lack of work ethic. Sporting one of the most arrogant company names in modern history, employees in fact make no effort to "work smarter, not harder"; not even the most basic principles and techniques of computer science are applied in the TeamCity platform. Humanity is clouded by disappointment where companies like JetBrains disregard the work experience of anyone who relies on their products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration with various tools and services, fast response rate, detailed logs availability to troubleshoot any issues, and meticulous build results with automated email and notifications are convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of enough documentation hinders initial setup; lots of features are in the experimental stage, very few plugins compared to other peers, and compulsory upgrades, which sometimes impact the ongoing work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TeamCity has one of the best User-friendly interface. Most of my project's CI/CD pipelines are implemented using TeamCity and I can say configuring build steps or parameters are super easy in TeamCity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would definitely suggest TeamCity to provide free plan just like Gitlab, Even though they provide free trial period but free plan with basic features like build steps would be more beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TeamCity is a tool for CI-CD, and it's possible to manage your pipeline step by step. You can integrate your remote repo and run any command in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The log interface is unreadable, and it's hard to read and understand the output if it is long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best for deploying you automated test suite and executing the scenarios and generating reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to take care of all the configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Continuous Integration Servers for over a decade. I used Jenkins, Bamboo, Travis, tried Circle, Jenkins, GOCD, Semaphore and BuildBot. I take testing and continuous deployment very seriously and have strong demands to my build server. I ran a self hosted bamboo for more than 4 years, integrated with Jira and Bitbucket server and was satisfied, not happy.

… that I would be in LOVE with a continuous integration server ever again. Jetbrains, do something for your image. You deserve to be the king of CI-Servers, seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dockerzing it was a little bit complex, but can be done, too.

I am missing some plugins from time to time, but overall I am very satisfied.

Nothing much that I really dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
