Appveyor’s Straightforward Setup and Clear, Debug-Friendly Logs **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2026 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** The best thing I like about Appveyor is its ease of use. The configuration is very straightforward and easy to implement using appveyor.yml file. It gives clear logs and easy-to-debug build steps which is very helpful is diagnosing any build issue. Its integrated with Bitbucket in my project and I am using it on a daily basis. Customer support is also very good. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Sometimes I feel the build process is too slow when there are multiple commits and there are no specific message for it. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps in automating the build process in my project so that we can focus more on the development rather than deploying the code. Also we have 100+ branches so it becomes very helpful in the build process. ### 2. AppVeyor is the easiest continuous integration tool to set up **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Edward W. | Database Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2019 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Unlike other C.I tools that are built in a linux environment, appveyor is built in a windows environment which allows you to test application performance in windows. Appveyor has a very clear documentation which allows you to easily set up your appveyor.yml file of copy a pre-configured file **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Unlike Travis.yaml file, the appveyor.yml file requires a lot more commands to configure your project of C.I **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Appveryor automates tests and gives notifications in case there errors in the project ### 3. Simple Windows-based continuous integration server **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Trevor B. | Senior Scientist, Research, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Unlike other CI services, AppVeyor has Windows-based infrastructure, which allows me to test my software on all major platforms. Setting up projects with appveyor.yml is straightforward and matches with how other similar non-Windows based services do configuration. Appveyor's Python support is impressive as it offers several different Python versions including both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python, and Miniconda-based Python installations. The documentation associated with the Python environment is also well done and contains the information you need to get your builds running quickly. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Builds can be slow in the free version that does not allow concurrent jobs. The paid option allowing concurrent jobs is too expensive. While AppVeyor allows your to change what your configuration file is named, it does annoy me that the default is appveyor.yml, rather than a file prepended with a dot to make it hidden. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** I would find it difficult to justify the expense of the Premium plan, but for open source projects, AppVeyor is great. If the lack of concurrent jobs is an issue, I would recommend limiting the number of tests that you run with AppVeyor. Do your detailed testing and generate coverage reports with another faster CI and use AppVeyor to ensure that your basic tests run in 32 and 64 bit Windows. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Windows is likely the most commonly used platform for our users, yet all of our developers use Mac OS X or Linux. AppVeyor ensures that our products still work in Windows without having to have a dedicated Windows build machine. ### 4. AppVeyor makes it incredibly easy to configure and deploy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark W. | Senior Developer, Market Research, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** The ease of configuration. The fact that it's a hosted service is a massive plus because it means you don't have to manage the underlying infrastructure. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** It needs more configuration options for parallel builds. I'd like to be able to limit the amount of builds per branch. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** There's nothing better in terms of build automation out there in the marketplace. The VMs have everything you need in order build in most environments. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use AppVeyor to build our products. We've quickly seen that AppVeyor's build time is considerably less than our previously TeamCity installation. ### 5. Pretty good for windows builds and python developers!! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachith P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Well, Firstly, its free for open source projects. A good CI build that includes build, test, and deploy means that you don't have to fear your code. When compared to Travis CI which is expensive for active projects, artifacts here are easily available. However for database CI AppVeyor has the major advantage that it comes with a SQL Server database on the build agents by default. This significantly simplifies the setup and avoids the need to provision, setup and teardown database virtual machines on each build. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** 1. Its slow compared to Travis CI. 2. Platform Development!- Works for only windows! It would be good to have all in one place( for linux users). 3. Free accounts have slow build. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** It's quite easy to use. However the documentation isn't good, only source of info is reviews and forums. Support is really helpful, and often they will implement things that are missing and preventing you from moving forward. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Windows users do not need to face any problems as the python packages undergo automatic regression testing with AppVeyor. 2. Testing and packaging cross-platform Python Modules for open source projects. 3. AppVeyor let's us continuously build and test our code at a rapid pace. ### 6. Simple and Powerful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mathew S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** - NuGet.Support - Good integration with GitHub pull requests - Configuration in YAML - Deployment to custom environments - best 4 Windows - Safe with isolated build environments - good customer support - outstanding free service for open-source projects **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** - a bit slow than others - need to support more operating systems - No Java support - No IDE integration **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** AppVeyor is Simple, Powerful and Great 4 Windows and GitHub. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** I work mainly on open-source projects. AppVeyor conducts all the tests on my code and keeps monitoring its status on every change. On receiving a pull request, AppVeyor automatically checks for errors and reports if merging a pull request would break my code. ### 7. Very useful for Python developers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John V. | Research Data Analyst, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** The best feature of AppVeyor is they allow *any* artefacts to be captured from the build and downloaded easily from Appveyor. This is a big feature over Travis, which has a recipe for using Amazon S3 to store artefacts, but that turns out to be quite expensive for very active projects. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** No support for Github organisation authorisation. Slow builds for free accounts. Protection of environment variables is sub-optimal. Several times a command has failed and Appveyor has dumped out all variables, including passwords, to the log. As the log is on the net, the log then needs to be deleted. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Be *very* careful with putting passwords in environment variables. Appveyor likes dumping them to the log if there is a problem with a command. Avoid cmd scripts like the plague. Create build logic as .ps1 scripts. For Python, use the demo project's appveyor.yml: https://github.com/ogrisel/python-appveyor-demo For coverage, use https://codecov.io/ instead of https://coveralls.io/ , works very well with Appveyor, but also integrated with Travis - it merges coverage data from Appveyor and Travis together, allowing cross-platform coverage data. coveralls.io fails badly in this scenario. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** I primarily work on Pywikibot, a framework for automated maintenance of wikis. Automatic regression testing of Python packages using Appveyor ensures Windows users do not suffer regressions caused by our primarily Linux/OSX development team. ### 8. Great for any Windows Builds **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cameron T. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** We've been using AppVeyor for over a year. We recently jumped up to 5 concurrent jobs, which really helps speed up our matrix builds. Pricing is simple. Support is superb. I really like that they have an integrated NuGet feed. We use it for build dependences and Chocolatey software installs. Setting up environments to deploy web app builds to Azure App Service is simple. Many developers at our company use AppVeyor for their open source projects too, so they are familiar with it, and some build scripts can be shared. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** The updates have caused our builds to break a couple of times, but switching back to the previous image was just a single line change in appveyor.yml. At times, it would be useful to control the build image, or at least a layer on top of their's. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Definitely try it out. Take a look at many of the open source projects are currently using it. Just search for appveyor.yml in GitHub. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for building all our software, automated testing (unit and some integration), continuous deployment, and all other deployments. ### 9. CI system for windows based builds **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tauseef R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Language and framework support. Every problem that I have with travis, appveyor solves it. I tried a c++ project and setting it up to use a proper compiler was a breeze as appveyor comes with standard msvc and mingw compiler suites, ruby, python and most common languages are well supported. Builds started almost right away and showed up in the console whenever I pushed to github and the builds were very fast too. The web-ui is pretty slick and barebones, but it works for most of the cases. It mails your registered email address with latest build results. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Obviously, platform support. It works only well for windows. As it is right now, you have to use travis for linux/osx AND appveyor for windows. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** As with any CI systems, try it with a sample project first. It is easier than travis, as the same project took me a lot less to setup in appveyor so there is that. If you need to have cross-platform/windows build support, currently appveyor seems the only way. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** I just need to push to github and appveyor will start the build/test procedure right away, informing me the results via mail. This also negates the need to state current build status in readme as it can be seen directly form the ci badge. ### 10. appveyor - essential for cross platform application development **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael Ira K. | Senior Software Engineer, Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** ability to build my linux applications under windows using cygwin or msys **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** not clear if / how to set up concurrent builds **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** it seems to be the only CI that can easily be configured to build windows applications **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** open source project - trying to be multi-platform compatible - appveyor has made this possible for me. ### 11. Only free hosted CI server for Windows, very customizable **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhas B. | Trainee Decision Scientist, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** 1. Builds on Windows, essential for cross-platform applications 2. Free for open-source projects 3. Allows downloading compiled files, ready for distribution - called "Artifacts" 4. Very good integration with everything Windows - Nuget, Visual Studio, Azure and well documented. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** 1. Windows-only - A really cross-platform free CI server is very necessary to stop writing similar but different config files for separate Windows and linux severs. 2. Much slower compared to Travis CI, which runs multiple test setups in parallel by default. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Quite easy to use, but a bit overwhelming when getting started - Start with a basic appveyor config and start adding build steps one-by-one to get acquainted. Use Nuget to install things, it works just like apt-get for linux. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Testing and packaging cross-platform Python Modules for open source projects Benefits - Before I joined the project, it used to be developed by a linux-only person and so, it was marked as "Not ready for windows" because he couldn't test it on Windows machines. Considering that python itself is so cross-platform, it is sad to see such status alerts on some projects. After doing some minor Windows fixes, it was very important to do continuous testing on Windows, so that the admin can easily catch if it will fail on Windows, without maintaining such a setup. ### 12. CI system for Windows. Also pretty useful for Python developers. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nikhil H. | MTS, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Appveyor is built on Windows. Artifacts (downloaded compiled files - ready for distribution) are easily available and this is an advantage over Travis which is expensive for active projects. The web user interface is pretty cool and efficient. Appveyor also provides framework support - comes with standard MSVC and MINGW. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Platform dependent - Biggest drawback. Works well only for Windows GitHub organization authorization is not supported Slow compared to Travis CI **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** GitHub is the primary delivery address for me. Appveyor mails me the results of the build procedure right away so that saves me time from checking the status via a readme. Windows users do not need to face any problems as the python packages undergo automatic regression testing with Appveyor. ### 13. Quality Continuous Integration for the .NET Projects **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ken H. | Front End Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Generally fast build queue. We have multiple projects and when we're pushing out features rapidly it's nice to have the builds not pile up so we get immediate feedback if the build breaks. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** The setup / configuration of a project is complex. We generally have .NET applications so using the MS Build process works well for those. We haven't yet configured a Node application successfully and are still relying on deployment using GitHub hooks. There's not much in the way of documentation, mostly community questions and answers. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** AppVeyor let's us continuously build and test our code at a rapid pace. We can get the code in our test environment simply by merging to the right branch after all the tests pass. ### 14. Good online virtual machine **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bhaskar C. | Algorithms Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** The main feature eliminates the need for installing software on your laptop. The need to have a ubuntu system is also removed. Simple yet powerful. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** The online processing does take more time than usual. As it is online, internet is required. So when out of reach of internet we cannot use this service. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** The need for having a ubuntu system is removed. Virtual box or virtual machine makes the windows quite slow, so it is good to use appveyor if we intend to use ubuntu virtual machine just for compiling programs. ### 15. A really good integration system **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** It's simple and gorgeous. The build dashboard is impressive and comforting. It can add tests, and identify artifacts (results of the build) and act on them. You can automate deployment to whatever environment you like. Impressively, AppVeyor restores NuGet packages as well. It's a great example of Software as a Service AppVeyor says they "automate building, testing and deployment of .NET applications helping your team to focus on delivering great apps." Cool. I like automation, I like building, testing and deploying. I'm lazy, as are all good developers, so automated all the things! Their pricing is impressive. It's free for unlimited public repositories, which means I can setup a CI build for all my little utilities and open source projects on GitHub. However, their Pro and Premium options are extremely competitive when compared against running my own VM and CI system in Azure for a month. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** AppVeyor is really impressive, fun to use, and "just works." It's a great example of Software as a Service there is nothing much user can complaint when compared to other platforms in the same area **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** AppVeyor says they "automate building, testing and deployment of .NET applications helping your team to focus on delivering great apps." Cool. I like automation, I like building, testing and deploying. I'm lazy, as are all good developers, so automated all the things! I can add tests, and identify artifacts (results of the build) and act on them.you can automate deployment to whatever environment you like. Push to Blob Storage (like I do for myEcho), push to a NuGet server, or Web Deploy. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuous Integration. CI build that includes build, test, and deploy option for my CI system automate building, testing and deployment of .NET applications are the few applications AppVeyor says they "automate building, testing and deployment of .NET applications helping your team to focus on delivering great apps." Cool. I like automation, I like building, testing and deploying. I'm lazy, as are all good developers, so automated all the things! ### 16. Used it for unit-testing a Python package on Windows **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Utkarsh U. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2016 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** It is easy to set up and maintain, independently of other CI services. Also, it hooks well with Github pull requests. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** The free tier of the service is very slow and makes merging of PRs a little painful. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** AppVeyor is great for managing pull requests, but it is too slow for an active local development team. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** The package I am maintaining depends on functionality being provided by the OS and I like to maintain nearly 100% code coverage. I use other CI services for testing on Linux but AppVeyor allows me to run the tests on Windows as well. ### 17. Easy continuous integration testing on windows **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dominic M. | Research Scientist, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** - Ease of setup - Capability to develop test configuration interactively online - Availability of compilers and tool chains **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Probably my biggest complaint is the relatively high latency of builds. After a commit it takes a fairly long time before builds start. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used appveyor to implement continuous integration testing for several of my open source projects. This has made it possible for inexperienced developers (domain scientists) to contribute without running the risk of breaking the software ### 18. Great option for OSS projects to test in a Windows environment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joshua H. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Convenient configuration file format similar to travis, GitHub build status API integration, plenty of pre-installed software for testing environments. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Builds can sometimes be a bit slower than competitors. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Open source repositories to which I contribute need a way to test their software in a Windows environment (for free!) and ensure that everything works as expected. Appveyor provides exactly this service. ### 19. Solid cloud-based build solution for our Windows Phone app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peter D. | Senior Windows Developer, Consumer Electronics, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** I love that I do not have to maintain the build servers. Once our build configuration was set up, I could just forget about it, and it just works. Aside from that, support is great--fast, and helpful. It is also great to have that peace of mind about the status of the build when performing pull requests into our "develop" branch. Additionally, I no longer have to build store-ready packages on my own machine. Now, no matter the status of my own enlistment, I can pull ready-to-publish appxupload packages out of the build artifacts in our release branches and publish them straight to the store. It saves me hours of work during release cycles, which happen now every four weeks. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** My only wish would be tighter integration with HockeyApp. We currently deploy using a PowerShell script that I have written. In my experience, using custom scripts inside of CI is sometimes brittle. It hasn't failed so far in the two to three months since I set the whole system up, but if that integration were there, it would be one less thing to worry about. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Really dig into the trial to see if it meets your needs, and talk to support when you have pain points. Support is really helpful, and often they will implement things that are missing and preventing you from moving forward. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the problem of streamlining a continuous deployment of our mobile app. We need to push updates out every four weeks. In that world, catching build problems early and often, and being able to offload the actual building of the packages from our developers is extremely important. Two nice benefits materialized from this: QA always has the latest builds from "develop" without developer intervention, and our unit tests always get run, even when developers forget to do so. ### 20. A simple service that ensures the integrity of your code **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Terry N. | Assistant Programming Instructor, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** AppVeyor is virtually a turnkey solution for continuous integration and build automation. It's easy to configure to handle continuous integration. It has Github integration and giving it access to your repository is almost a one-click process. Github teams are supported as well, allowing people to maintain individual accounts to avoid sharing of accounts. Build times are short and logs are provided. We also don't seem to have run into any bandwidth issues, so downloading additional resources like art assets are not a problem. I don't use any of the unit testing options, but it supports a variety of implementation methods. You can test with an additional assembly or do simple scripts. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** It's an excellent solution for anyone developing on Windows. If you're on Linux, you'll be out of luck. Fortunately, there are plenty of other solutions to be had, like Travis CI. However, it would be convenient to have it all in one place. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Small teams with a .NET project that are looking for a CI solution for open source projects should consider AppVeyor. The setup is short and painless, and there are plenty of configuration options to support additional features like unit testing and hooks. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can easily tell with each commit whether or not the HEAD is currently broken. Additionally, producing daily developer builds to show to PMs as well as distribute to testers has been moved away from being someone's responsibility to something's responsibility. ### 21. AppVeyor: CI for Windows **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Federico T. | Freelance Software Engineer, Information Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** I cannot find any other alternative for running tests on Windows **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** It is somehow slow. Sometimes it can take hours waiting for a job to get started. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finally I have my tests running not only on Linux & Mac but also on Windows. ### 22. Cloud-based Continuous Integration and Deployment for .NET Development with AppVeyor **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary S. | Technology Architecture Delivery Senior Manager, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** For our solution we liked the ease of use AppVeyor gave us with the Microsoft .NET technology stack. There are similar products, but few that excel with this stack. As AppVeyor states, '#1 Continuous Delivery service for Windows'. I wrote a post on our POC at https://programmaticponderings.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/cloud-based-continuous-integration-and-delivery-for-net-development. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** There was very little to dislike. We first tested AppVeyor almost 1 year ago. It's continued to evolve and mature since then. It was easy enough while not being overly restrictive with a heavy UI. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Run a POC with an internal project or existing app with their free level. See how you like it. You can leverage your learning when you start using it for production. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** As we move more apps to the cloud, we were seeking an enterprise-scale solution for cloud-based Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment of .NET Apps and services. ### 23. Fantastic tool for continuous delivery **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mathieu S. | Web Developer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** AppVeyor, with a simple Yaml config, will really help your team build and deploy on various environments. Complete console output helps you find problem when someone... breaks the build! **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** Lately, AppVayor had suffered from its growing popularity, and weird problems have occurred, making builds fail for no apparent reason. Their team has fixed most of them I would say, and things seem to be back to normal. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Consider premium package if you have a large team building many projects everyday. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Replacing local instances of Jenkins with AppVayor has let us put much less time in build machine installation, configuration, and management, and more time in REAL software development. ### 24. Awesome product, fantastic support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anthony S. | Managing Director, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2015 **What do you like best about AppVeyor?** Simple to get up and running and then very customisable, whatever you want to do with your builds. Oh and the support goes above and beyond everytime you need it. **What do you dislike about AppVeyor?** UI could do with a bit of a facelift, but that's me being picky. **Recommendations to others considering AppVeyor:** Do it, you won't regret it. Amazing bit of software, can't recommend highly enough. **What problems is AppVeyor solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuous integration and deployment. We were able to build a variety of projects from front-end JS, ASP.NET MVC and WPF apps to back-end services built with Web API, Service Stack, etc. - [View AppVeyor pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/appveyor/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+12%3A59%3A26+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=87f62251-ac31-46e0-9bde-47cecd2ff85a&secure%5Btoken%5D=04c4ba07ac278969805cd3d32a86590e22c2aba2ce7e4be677154a5aaf882ac8&format=llm_user) ## AppVeyor Integrations - [Bitbucket](https://www.g2.com/products/bitbucket/reviews) ## AppVeyor Features **Functionality** - Deployment-Ready Staging - Integration - Extensible **Functionality** - Integrations - Extensibility - Test Customization **Management** - Processes and Workflow - Reporting - Automation **Management** - Automation - Processes and Workflow - Reporting **Agentic AI - Continuous Integration** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Agentic AI - Continuous Delivery** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top AppVeyor Alternatives - [Jenkins](https://www.g2.com/products/jenkins/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (549 reviews) - [Travis CI](https://www.g2.com/products/travis-ci/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (92 reviews) - [TeamCity](https://www.g2.com/products/teamcity/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (87 reviews)
