All the services that are being build via Mule can be available via team city to be deployed.Its features include build history, user management and system maintenance. Build history has excellent feature of holding the various build version that are deployed earlier.Use service messages in your build scripts, interact via REST API, or create plugins for TeamCity using Open API. User Management has different ways of user authentication, and a log with all user actions for the transparency which can be used for tracking all activity on the server.Best feature is Version Control System(VCS) in which Team city in a single build it can take source code from different VCS Repositories.All the versions history is available environmental wise. Cons The least of this software is there are some additional features required for the versions to avail across different enviroments like manual build configurations process can be avoided for the lower environments and UI part can be increased looking for new enhancements Review Source EW Eric W. Systems Engineer II Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Teamcity" May 18, 2022 5.0 Pros I am able to successfully manage over 600 projects in Teamcity in my environment. Updates are a breeze and downtime has been damn near zero in the five or six years I've used this product. The build configs are super flexible however I've not used another product so I'm not sure how my experience compares to the next. Cons I'm not a huge fan of the experimental UI for some views but for other items I prefer it. I'm often switching back and forth between the two UIs Alternatives considered [Jenkins](https://www.capterra.com/p/171026/Jenkins/) Reason for choosing TeamCity I wasn't part of that conversation as it was before my time but probably because we are an enterprise and require that level of support.

Security Engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TeamCity makes a strong case against the potential of science and ingenuity to advance civilization" February 18, 2026 1.0 In our development department we use TeamCity on a daily basis for automated testing and continuous integration. Pros It is often usable for automated testing and continuous integration purposes, and supports a broad range of platforms including server, client and mobile. Cons 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 Source JK Jitae K. Sr.Devops Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible and Integrative!" September 30, 2025 4.0 Setting it up for each projects is pretty easy and TeamCity has good integration a tool like Git, which makes admin's life lot easier. So far its been a pretty smooth ride. haven't heard many complaints from Dev side. Pros They supports many Plugins which makes us to add more feature and can customize it based on our needs and easy to debug on each builds because it can display very details of each steps. Cons I used to like their UI which is pretty straightforward and easy to setup, but the most recent version of TeamCity now make it harder to change config/setting on projects. Also it does not support for parallel runs on a project. You have to wait for each builds to finish before running next one in a queue. Review Source Gurleen K. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TeamCity - A platform to approach Continuous Integration and Delivery. " February 14, 2019 5.0 TeamCity By JetBrains provide the hassle free Continuous Integration & Delivery. The freeware license come with up to 100 build configuration and 3 build agent are enough to check the feasibility study of your product. The powerful build CI & smart configuration make it enterprise like DevOps tool. Pros TeamCity by JetBrains is one of the best and simple tool to manage the build and Integration. The powerful integration features out of the box make it unique and operation team first choice. The DevOps approach helps in continuous Integration & Delivery. Smart Configuration feature like project hierarchy, in-build templates, build chains & dependencies split the build sequence in multiple step to serve in simplex form. The Version Control Systems integrate the process in comprehensive way. Build History is also helpful in tracking the issue & let us allow in tracking the changes in the development process. Statistics of build history and test result help in generating the reports. Cons There are numbers of In-build configuration plugins for cloud integrations like Amazon, Azure, vSphere, Kubernetes and many more but cluster and creating the plugin for on-premises infrastructures is really a big and complex task to do with the TeamCity without the help of expertise.

Software Engineer Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great DevOps tool" May 18, 2022 5.0 Pros Highly customizable pipelines, supporting multiple build steps with intelligent links and flows between them. Integration with Azure and Octopus Deploy are easy. Cons Integration with Azure could be deepened, as at the moment it is done via an ad in rather then being natively supported. Review Source Christopher E. Independent Business Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Team City, My Personal Experience" January 18, 2019 5.0 My experience with TeamCity is great, and I would recommend it to any developer looking for an enterprise build server without cost. Pros Personally, I've used Jenkins, Team Foundation Server (DevOps), and a few others. For continuous integration, and multi-platform tool/build agent deployment nothing beats JetBrains TeamCity. Any kind of compiler, build tool, or plain application can be assimilated into your build model using JetBrains TeamCity. Best of all the application is free, the only limitation being the number of builds and branding. Cons My only issue would be it's heavy memory footprint, but that's due to the java run-time. If you use Visual Studio 2017, and TeamCity simultaneously there's going to be a lack of performance. Review Source Ekta K. Programmer Analyst Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for CI" June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros We manage all build configurations, deployments triggers, automated tests triggers through Team City. It is the best tool, I have used till now. It allows you to clone projects, mute/investigate failing tests, pause triggers. Cons You need some time to master the use of team city. There is a lot to learn if you are new to team city. But with time and practice, you are good to go. Review Source Vasyl S.

January 23, 2019 5.0 Pros It's easy to use (for it specialists), it has clean and friendly interface, it's very customizable Cons Have nothing to say about cons regarding this software Review Source Shankar C. Lead Application Developer Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "TeamCity Review" November 19, 2018 4.0 overall I like this tool to do the builds for .net and angular environments and is great tool to implement the CI/CD. Pros this is one of great tool to implement CI/CD. I like the way it packages the things after the build is done I like the way it keeps history of previous built packages versioning is also great way and you can also move the stuff after built is done Cons it can be be improved in the area of notifying the results of build after is done setting up the build agents and target environments need to be fine tuned. Review Source DP Dushyant P. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integrates well with existing workflows, but access management is a pain" December 5, 2022 4.0 The integrability is a major plus point, and it has taken away a major blocker of manually ensuring sonar and build validation is passed before PRs are merged to avoid code breakage. It can further see some improvement so as to make the process faster and more streamlined Pros Teamcity allows us to implement CI CD pipelines for PR validation, by ensuring sonar checks are complete and builds pass before a PR is allowed to be merged. It integrates well with our VCS, Stash (Bitbucket Cloud) to ensure a Teamcity flag is present and applied before a PR is merged.The process is reliable and consistent, and works for new repos and configurations as well Cons The admin panel is cluttered and hard to move around, with confusing mnemonics for different validation jobs. Access granting is also unclear.One major pain point is that TC doesn't allow manual trigger of first PR build, and the process takes a lot of time, reducing efficiency. Review Source KŻ Karol Ż. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool for CI/DI" October 13, 2022 5.0 Pros Free for small configurations, enough to small teams. Fast and stable. Easy to configure and maintain. Cons I guess the only drawback of this tool is that it runs on the JVM and thus requires a fair amount of memory resources. Review Source MSB Mahipal Singh B. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TeamCity Review" June 14, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with TeamCity is too good. It reduces the developer's efforts to push the changes in the server. Pros The most impactful feature of this software is to help the CI/CD. Team members can easily deploy the changes done in the product application to the server. It supports multiple version controls like git, svn, etc. We can easily integrate different version control to different servers to push the changes in the server. While deploying the changes it will also let the user what all the pending changes he needs to push onto the server. It is easy to use. Cons As of now, I don't have anything which I don't like about this software. Review Source DG Donovan G. Head of QA Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is okay... about that really" March 23, 2022 4.0 It worked in the setup we had it for. Doing it from scratch, I probably would use other tooling. Pros It did the job pretty well and the interface made it easy to diagnose issues in the runners. Cons It is not the easiest tool to use and there are far better, far more feature rich alternatives. This tool felt like it was an extra, unrequired layer in CI Review Source PC Philip C. Web Developer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for automating builds, especially with multiple devs" December 3, 2020 5.0 Good features overall and seems to be up to par with competitors such as Azure Pipelines; there is a learning curve for first-time users, and certain menus/settings are hard to find, but offers good options for configuration and flexibility Pros Ability for continuous deployment to happen when multiple devs are involved in projects; ability to kick off builds from merges into Git. The "target" branches can be switched temporarily to monitor other branches for short periods Cons Basic tiers only allow certain number of builds happening at the same time. Oftentimes automated testing tasks must be paused to allow site builds to happen Review Source MT Marco T. Software Developer Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "easy to configure, easy to use, powerful when works" September 20, 2017 4.0 Pros Teamcity is a small and powerfull continuos integration tool, I configured my first project in a good way reading the manuals, also it is easy to integrate with another development tools like TFS Cons I think the cons is the agents that you can use with free edition, also de configurations that you can includo as i remember the maxium is 20 Review Source AB Alessandro B. Team Lead Used the software for: ### "Extremely good, need some improvement for Continuous Delivery" November 26, 2014 5.0 Hi Guys, I'm a fan of TeamCity and I've convinced many of the teams at work to abandon Jenkins for TC. I see some limitations in Continuous Delivery, unfortunately TC's build chains are a quite clumsy, compared to the way you design a build pipeline in products like Thoughtworks Go, which has recently become free and opensource. That's the major limitation I see. For the rest, it's a fantastic product. Keep up with the good work! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great option for CI/CI, but on the more expensive side" May 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Great UI and very easy to setup and manage. Great integration if you are already in the Jetbrains ecosystem Cons More expensive than other industry alternatives like Jenkins Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SQA Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool to build your Application with confidence for continious Integration" December 27, 2018 5.0 We can solve a lot of problems using teamcity as it is one of the continuous integration tool which helps in never ending business success story. As it is been used for deploying our services to the server very easily. We can have teamcity configure with different various tools like ant maven which help us in continious integration process. Best of this it helps us understand where our build process went wrong and root cause for the failure rather than manual intervention in trouble shoot it directly show the issue we can dig the process and resolve the issue from there onwards and UI part is much more flexible so that we can organise as per our requirement Pros The good thing i always like with the teamcity is its cross platform means we can configure agents of other OS types so it can build anything easily. It is Good integration with variosu different frameworks and it has various methodologies that can be used as a part of your application development and code dump. It also have an amazing feature of supporting the extension via plugin mechanism we can also integrate with other popular tools such as artifactory plugin or we can write our own. When ever a new build failed teamcity has a special feature of trouble shoot and provide us the root cause for the failure. It has a very user friendly interface which is very easy for the navigation and understanding the standard of each options in the panel. It is an opensource product and a happy news is startup are eligible for the 50% discount on the package Cons There is nothing much least about this but there are few drawback like for a single person holding project teamcity is not right choice.Upgrading the teamcity is very lengthy process and consumes large amount of time. The logs that are being generated during the build process can be made much more beautiful with UI changes Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not an easy tool, but does the job " February 9, 2018 4.0 Pros It does its job, and once you've set it up it's pretty solid. Agents and server have never needed a reboot as far as I know, and upgrades are quick enough. The integration with the VCS (SVN where I work) can let you keep track of what you have down the pipeline and, if you use the right tracking tool and add ticket numbers to the commit comments, you might find useful seeing what brought to that commit. If you often create new projects, the template feature can enormously speed up the process. Cons It's very very easy to screw up. It gives you quite enough rope to hang yourself and your whole team twice, like creating dependencies among builds so that a simple commit can make the agents run for hours, or other amenities where you're not really sure what's the code you're building from (or, you might even be sure, but wrong!) If you're not well organized and don't know your way around the myriads of configurations, you may well end up not knowing what features you are deploying. It really needs some serious study before using it in production, and since it's not something you configure everyday, it's not easy to keep trained. In this perspective, the template feature will make you forget what's going on. Sadly, it's the only CI/CD tool I've ever used, so I can't compare it to anything else. Review Source AG Adrian G. Proprietor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A big time saver" September 22, 2022 5.0 I just love it. It saves us a lot of time, and makes every Pros \- Before using Teamcity, deployments took about 30 minutes and had to be performed during maintenance intervals. Now we can deploy to production servers during the day if necessary. - Running tests can take a while, so it might be forgotten if someone has to do it manually. Teamcity automates this, so that we don't even have to think about running them again. Cons It's hard to say. Teamcity is really well polished, so I have very few and only minor suggestions. The only big downside to using TeamCity is that the initial setup takes a lot of time. But that's not not Teamcity's fault and the time is well invested. Reason for choosing TeamCity Much easier to use and great interface. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not brilliant but OK" June 2, 2022 4.0 Better than some other CI tools, liked the support for branching in Teamcity. (Previously even forked off an OpenSource CI product - that was a very expencive solution.) Pretty reasonable product, but overhead of having own infrastructure, and always wanting more BuildAgents, made moving to AzurePipelines a more attractive proposition. Pros Configuration and ability to quickly set up new builds, nice integration into GitHub and other tools Cons Overly complex, I could never create a build without making a mistake, and having to go back and fix it up... Always got something wrong, although I have used it for around 10 years. Moved to Azure pipelines due to reduce cost, don't think it's any easier, but the build scripts are now in VersionControl Review Source LD Laura D. Softwaredeveloper Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible CI tool" July 8, 2022 5.0 Very stable CI tool with very low maintenance. Pros For smaller teams with less than 100 build configurations it is free of charge. It provides either an UI or an own language (Kotlin) for configuring the build configurations. Also offers wide options for automatical cleanups, reducing the required time for administering the application to almost zero Cons Some features, like artifacts path or filters offer their own filter syntax. I think it is pretty difficult to get into this syntax as the documentation could be better. But once your into it, it is very flexible and covers all requirements. Review Source Pravin kumar B. Software development lead Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One stop tool for CI/CD " February 22, 2019 5.0 I have used the tool with my two previous employers.. definitely improved the productivity of team.. it was uself with both web and desktop application Pros Highly flexibly and configurable.. filled with a ton of functionality.. if you don't find a functionality, you will still have option to configure through custom scripts Cons Learning curve can be annoying especially if you don't have support within your team. It takes time to master the tool Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent continuous integration and automated build tool" July 2, 2018 5.0 Pros TeamCity plays really well with .NET check-ins and continuous integration. If you've checked in something that breaks a build, or that won't pass the tests that have to be passed before a build commences, TeamCity will definitely let you know. This is a great kit for CI and getting builds out when you've got multiple players involved in updating and maintaining code throughout the day. Cons The security options for TeamCity to let people run it from workstations and simulate a build to see what might break -- that can be a little tricky to get going.
