"Distributed C++ builds...yes please!"

5/5

What do you like best about Incredibuild?

Purely speed! Incredibuild allows you to build large projects in a fraction of the time by distributing the build over other servers/workstations (just like a rendering farm). The speed gains are dependent on your available hardware, however, you can cut your build time by up to 90%. Installation is a sinch and handled directly through the Visual Studio installer - the two work together seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Incredibuild?

The only downside is the licensing model, which can be a little confusing. You used to be able to use a free dev license, however, this has been changed to a trial license which is a shame - but at least you can still try it before taking the leap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Incredibuild:

If you are looking to distribute building within a Windows environment then Incredibuild is a one-stop solution that just works, with the free trial it's not to be overlooked. However, if you are working on Unix/Linux then there are other opensource options to consider like distcc and fastbuild. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Incredibuild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problem: Developer's time taken waiting around, holding building projects until the evening, machines out of action while building.

Solution: Incredibuild!

It's amazing how much time gets eaten up by build or re-builds. Incredibuild helps you by clawing back that time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
