We performed a comparison between GoCD and TeamCity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"The UI is colorful."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"Using TeamCity and emailing everyone on fail is one way to emphasize the importance of testing code and showing management why taking the time to test actually does saves time from having to fix bugs on the other end."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"I need some more graphical design."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"If TeamCity could create more out of the box solutions to make it more user friendly and create more use cases, that would be ideal."
