Top Pro

Easy installation

TeamCity has different installation packages for different operating systems. All the user needs to do is download the correct one and run it. See More

Top Con

Expensive

TeamCity has a free tier which includes a maximum of 100 build configurations and up to 3 build agents. If you want to add 10 more configurations and 1 more agent, it will cost $299; unless you choose to buy an enterprise license which starts at $1999. See More

Top Pro

Cross-platform build support

The fact that it is based on Java does not hinder TeamCity's ability to support different build environments. TeamCity in fact supports a large number of languages and tools for each of those languages (build runners and test frameworks). Some of the languages/platforms that are supported include: Ruby, .NET, Java. See More

Top Con

Poor quality plugins

At least some of them do not work, probably because they're not updated to more recent TeamCity versions. See More

Top Pro

Supports build chains

The user can easily compose dependencies between builds by adding snapshot and artifact dependencies, all on the one screen. All output of upstream builds is available to downstream builds. Triggering sets off the entire build chain and supports re-running of the portions of the chain that failed. See More

Top Con

Inter-branch merges trigger emails to unrelated committers

Whenever an inter-branch merge occurs, TeamCity pulls up the first parent of the merge commit and sends them an e-mail. However, this sort of information would be more useful to the merge author. See More

Top Pro

CircleCI

Top Pro

Quick setup

CircleCI excels with its setup process. All that's needed is a GitHub login and CircleCI automatically detects the settings for Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java and Clojure. The setup process is their most widely praised feature. See More

Top Con

Changes the environment without warning

Unless you count forum posts as a warning. A mysql upgrade caused days of debugging. See More

Top Pro

Simple and intuitive GitHub integration

CircleCI can be connected to any project that is hosted on GitHub by logging in using the GitHub OAuth and adding the desired repository. Whenever a new commit is pushed to GitHub, CircleCI runs the tests that have been already defined and if none of them fails, the build is deployed to the runtime environment. See More

Top Con

Does not cache docker images

The way to fake it is to save the image on disk, in the cache folder (it tars it), and restore it afterwards. But in tests it was slower than not caching. See More

Top Pro

SSH support

Users can access the Virtual Machine via SSH and run commands. See More

Top Con

Docker is way outdated on the VM provided

Currently (October 5th 2016), Docker installed on the VM is: 1.9.1-circleci-cp-workaround, build 517b158, and docker-compose is 1.5.2, build 7240ff3. docker-compose in particular is almost too old to be used. See More

Top Pro

Easy configuration with YAML

In most cases CircleCI automatically get settings from your code. When it fails, edit circle.yml. See More

Top Pro

Very fast parallel testing

Tests can be parallelized across multiple machines reducing test times drastically. They support up to 8-way parallelization. Additionally, CircleCI caches the build environment. See More

Top Pro

Clean, intuitive UI

Circle CI's web UI is clean and easy to use. It gives all the information for a single build in a feed and gives the explanation for each step of the build, what it's doing and what the step is related to. On the top it displays author information and the time and date when the build was started and finished. This is all done by giving only the most essential information without clogging the screen. See More

Top Pro

Supports 8 languages and 16 databases

Support for Ruby, Python, Node, Java, PHP, RoR, DJ, JavaScript. It also detects settings for Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java and Clojure. It als has support for: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Riak, Redis, SQLite, Solr, CouchDB, ElasticSearch, Neo4j, Couchbase, Lucene, Sphinx, ThriftDB, Memcache. See More

Travis is free for all public repositories on Github. See More

Top Con

Only partial .NET support

.NET support is limited to .NET Core and Mono. See More

Top Pro

Easy to set up and configure

All that is needed to set up Travis is a configuration file (travis.yml) in the root of the repository where it will be installed and Travis takes care of the rest. See More

Top Con

Only GitHub support

It does not support BitBucket. So it's not in list for companies using BitBucket private or public repositories. See More

Top Pro

Github integration

Travis registers every push to GitHub and automatically builds the branch by default. See More

Top Con

Relatively expensive

Commercial plans for Travis are relatively expensive compared to other tools. They start at $129/month. See More

Top Pro

Supports most technological stacks

Supports the most widely used technological stacks (Node, Ruby, PHP, Python etc...) for free. See More

Top Con

Jenkins

Top Pro

Free and open source

Jenkins is a free and open source continuous integration tool, while its source code is hosted on GitHub. See More

Top Con

Poor quality plug-ins that are difficult to combine

There have been several complaints by users regarding the quality of the plug-ins found in Jenkins' official plugin repo. A lot of plugins found in the default plugin directory are no longer actively maintained and as a result, they may be incompatible with later versions of Jenkins or other plugins. See More

Top Pro

Highly customizable

Even though Jenkins is pretty functional and useful out of the box, there's a large plugin ecosystem from which the user can choose plugins to integrate into their Jenkins build. This is needed for when the user wants to extend any of the tool's features. See More

Top Con

High overhead

Unlike some of the simple and hosted alternatives, users need to host and setup Jenkins by themselves. This results in both a high initial setup time, as well as time sunk into maintenance over a project's duration. See More

Top Pro

Safe to store key environment variables

Self-hosting provides a safe location to store key environment variables since it is the user who is in charge of the server and environment where Jenkins is hosted. See More

Top Con

Unstable and lack of plugin integration QA process

Jenkins without plugins is almost useless. All plugins are treated equal and published almost right away. Because there is no process for testing Jenkins' integration, the overall Jenkins experience is not that great. Furthermore, Jenkins' core and plugins are released on a regular basis, all requiring instant restarts, meaning that updates appear more than once a day! See More

Top Pro

A lot of resources and tutorials available

Jenkins has been in development since 2004 and is one of the most popular tools of its kind. This means that its technology is very mature and there is a lot of documentation and resources available for it. See More

Top Con

Restarting of pipeline steps only available in commercial version

Reliable pipelines with step restarts are only available in the enterprise version. Last time I talked to them in 2018, I was quoted $20k/year for that. See More

Top Pro

Multiple version control systems supported

Supports the most popular version control systems out of the box: SVN, Mercurial, and Git. See More

Top Con

Cannot get pipelines right

They are on the 5th attempt to make pipelines working. Still lot to be desired and clunky. Thoughtworks took CruiseControl and just rewrote it from scratch to make GoCD. Go.CD has pipeline support as first class citizens. See More

Top Pro

Scalable

The distributed builds in Jenkins work effectively, thanks to the Master and Slave capabilities. See More

Top Con

Vulnerable

Vulnerable to cross site and DOS attacks, read article Top 10 Java Vulnerabilities And How To Fix Them. See More

Top Pro

Stable release line for users who want less changes

This is called the Jenkins Long-Term Support (LTS) version and helps to provide the most stable and assuring version of the Jenkins CI possible. Every 3 months, a version (which has been deemed the most reliable by the community) is chosen. After this, its branched, well-tested features are added (if they are missing), it is tested with the new features, bug fixes are then carried out if necessary, and from there it is released as the official Jenkins LTS version. See More

Top Con

Limited pipeline size

Pipeline-as-code is limited to a JVM method size limit. See More

Top Pro

User can source control their chain of automation

Starting with Jenkins 2.0, the pipeline capability, which has been available as a plugin before this version, has been built into Jenkins itself. This allows developers to describe their chain of automation in text form, which can be version controlled and put alongside the source tree. See More

Top Pro

Quantity of available Plugins

For most operations we need not reinvent the wheel, there are plugins already existing. See More

Top Pro

Cross-platform build support

Being a Java application it can be installed under any OS: Windows, Linux, and macOS. On the other hand, JNLP slaves also enriches the cross-platform build support for its agents. See More

Top Pro

Easy to get up and running

A Jenkins install is very simple and the user can have the service up and running within minutes. To install Jenkins, the command java -jar jenkins.war is all that is needed - nothing more. See More

Top Pro

Supports most of the technological stacks for free by specific plugins

Including, Docker, Amazon EC2 and S3. See More

Top Pro

Great community

Jenkins has a large and helpful community, which welcomes new users and provides a great number of tutorials. Project Website, including links to Blog , Wiki, Docs. Community groups via Jenkins Users ML group. See More

Top Pro

AppVeyor

Top Pro

Free for open-source projects

AppVeyor is free for public GitHub repositories. See More

Top Con

Not free

This is open-source but not free. See More

Top Pro

Supports Windows build enviroment

AppVeyor has a build environment for Windows available. See More

Top Con

Configuration is limited

AppVeyor's configuration (which is done from the .yaml file in the root of the project) is unfortunately very limited. The configuration is either tied to a branch or, in other cases, it's global. This limits the developer to a single build process. However, since you can use arbitrary scripts for building, all those limitations can be overcome. Configuration can also be done from the web UI without a .yaml file. See More

Top Pro

Clear, straight-forward user interface

Well I suggest you check it out for yourself, but what I like most is that it's simple yet effective: no bells and whistles, simple black/grey/light-blue/white color scheme, it's immediately clear where you have to go for each specific task, and build settings pages are like that as well. Getting a 'standard' build running literally took me a minute the first time I used it. See More

Top Pro

Easy access to build VM

AppVeyor allows the user to login to the actual build VM. See More

Top Pro

The initial setup is easy

There's practically no setup involved prior to working with AppVeyor: simply sign in, add the project, and start a new build. See More

Shippable

Top Con

Requires way to much permissions when logging in using Bitbucket

It even requests the permission to "Delete your repositories". See More

Top Pro

Builds are faster

The fact that Shippable runs inside of Docker means that it keeps a persistent state and every build will not have to revert to initial state where it needs to install every dependency from the ground up. Classic CI tools that run on virtual machines need to reset their environment every time and every time install the gems, packages and services needed. See More

Top Con

No Direct Deploy to S3

Currently, Shippable does not allow for build artifacts to be natively deployed to S3. This can be gotten around, however it is a rather large hole when compared to Travis. In order to deploy to S3 you have to add a couple of lines to the yml file. For example: env: global: #secure variable contains values for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - secure: HKwYujx/qmsyQQdHvR2myu8HLUDtcLeDyYV149YJuxIV4J7Hk3SxeY8X3D6aTlR8mvMnd/ZFY+tGNUh4G0xtLLjjZcPsBgvFlB build: on_success: - aws s3 sync $SHIPPABLE_BUILD_DIR "s3://bucket_name" --region "us-east-1" See More

Top Pro

GitHub and Bitbucket integration

Shippable supports both BitBucket and GitHub. Repositories uploaded on either of those services can be built using Shippable. See More

Top Con

Docker security measures may be a hindrance

Shippable runs inside Docker containers. Docker has some specific security measures which may or may not become a hindrance in using Shippable. It may be harder for users who are not very comfortable with a Linux container environment and that can create some security problems. Even for more advanced users, it's still something more that they have to address while using Shippable. See More

Top Pro

Free plan available

Unlimited builds for unlimited public repos and up to 5 private repositories. See More

Top Pro

Docker integration

Shippable is built using Docker, a popular open source Linux container. It was originally built using it's own container but when that started to become too complex, they switched to using Docker. Since the beginning Shippable was different from other CI tools because while Shippable uses a container (Docker), traditionally CI tools have used virtual machines to manage their workloads. See More

Top Pro

Quick setup

All Shippable needs for it's setup is a shippable.yml file in the root of the repository that needs to be built. The bare minimum Shippable needs is the language and the version number specified in that file. See More

Top Pro

Integrated code coverage and test results visualization

No need to use coveralls or any other tool for code coverage visualization. Code coverage and test results are integrated into the product. See More

Top Pro

Build as Code

Builds are described in the shippable.yml file located in the root of your project. This empowers engineers to take responsibility for code delivery. If you are coming from Travis CI, Shippable reads your .travis.yml file directly so you can try it out painlessly. See More

Top Pro

Build on your own host

Teams can set up Docker containers on their own servers and run Shippable in there. See More

Top Pro

Supports monitoring and tracking utilization and system performance for your devops automation infrastructure

Top Pro

Cheaper than competitors

Plans are significantly cheaper than competitors. See More

Top Pro

Testing against multiple runtimes, versions and environments

Supports builds against multiple runtimes, environment variables, and platforms. See More

Top Pro

Semaphore CI

Top Pro

Automatic Testing

Whenever a new push is made on GitHub or Bitbucket, Semaphore automatically runs tests on that branch. See More

Top Con

Proprietary with private project for $30/month

Semaphore is not free and nor is it open source. Pricing starts at $29 per month. However, there is a free option for private projects which have less than 100 builds per month and it's free for open source projects. See More

Top Pro

Free for open source

Semaphore supports open source and offers unlimited open source projects. See More

Top Pro

Complete customer support

Semaphore offers all-around customer support for its commercial users. See More

Top Pro

Free 100 builds per month for private projects

Top Pro

Docker support

Out of the box Docker support. Additionally, Semaphore can cache Docker images by using included docker-cache commands. See More

Top Pro

Easy to configure

Semaphore is quite easy to configure and work with. It easily integrates with GitHub and a first build is only a few clicks away. Semaphore is configured using .yaml configuration files which can be added from the web UI. There are a lot of tutorials out there that help developers configure Semaphore to their preference. See More

TFS

Top Pro

Concurrent

TFS contains very few locks and aims to be as suitable for multithreaded systems as possible. It makes use of multiple truly concurrent structures to manage the data, and scales linearly by the number of cores. This is perhaps the most important feature of TFS. See More

Top Con

Not ready for use

While many components are complete, TFS itself is not ready for use. See More

Top Pro

Usable in other systems

It was never planned to be Redox-only. See More

Top Pro

Revision history

TFS stores a revision history of every file without imposing extra overhead. This means that you can revert any file into an earlier version, backing up the system automatically and without imposed overhead from copying. See More

Top Pro

Data integrity

TFS, like ZFS, stores full checksums of the file (not just metadata), and on top of that, it is done in the parent block. That means that almost all data corruption will be detected upon read. See More

Top Pro

Copy-on-write semantics

Top Pro

O(1) recursive copies

Like some other file systems, TFS can do recursive copies in constant time, but there is an unique addition: TFS doesn't copy even after it is mutated. How? It maintains segments of the file individually, such that only the updated segment needs copying. See More

Top Pro

Guaranteed atomicity

The system will never enter an inconsistent state (unless there is hardware failure), meaning that unexpected power-off won't ever damage the system. See More

Top Pro

Improved caching

TFS puts a lot of effort into caching the disk to speed up disk accesses. It uses machine learning to learn patterns and predict future uses to reduce the number of cache misses. TFS also compresses the in-memory cache, reducing the amount of memory needed. See More

Top Pro

Better file monitoring

CoW is very suitable for high-performance, scalable file monitoring, but unfortunately only few file systems incorporate that. TFS is one of those. See More

Top Pro

All memory safe

TFS uses only components written in Rust. As such, memory unsafety is only possible in code marked unsafe, which is checked extra carefully. See More

Top Pro

Full coverage testing

TFS aims to be full coverage with respect to testing. This gives relatively strong guarantees on correctness by instantly revealing large classes of bugs. See More

Top Pro

Improved garbage collection

TFS uses Bloom filters for space-efficient and fast garbage collection. TFS allows the FS garbage collector to run in the background without blocking the rest of the file system. See More

Top Pro

SSD friendly

TFS tries to avoid the write limitation in SSD by repositioning dead sectors. See More

Top Pro

Full-disk compression

TFS is the first file system to incorporate complete full-disk compression through a scheme we call RACC (random-access cluster compression). This means that every cluster is compressed only affecting performance slightly. It is estimated that you get 60-120% more usable space. See More

Top Pro

Asynchronous

TFS is asynchronous: operations can happen independently; writes and reads from the disk need not block. See More

Drone.io

Top Con

Does not allow you to configure two projects using the same GitHub repo

Drone.io does not let developers configure two different projects against the same repository. Instead, one must fork that repository into a new one and use that to create a new Drone.io project. See More

Top Pro

Integrated with GitHub, BitBucket, and Google Code

Drone.io integrates perfectly with GitHub, BitBucket and Google Code. See More

Top Pro

Easy self-hosted setup

Bamboo

Top Con

Very limited basic license.

Although they have $10 license it is very limited even for modest shops. Even next step of commercial license is very expensive for what you get. See More

Top Pro

Fine-grained control over each environment the project needs to be deployed to

Bamboo is the only build server to offer first-class support for the "delivery" aspect of continuous delivery. Deployment projects automate the tedium right out of releasing into each environment, while letting you control the flow with per-environment permissions. See More

Top Con

Bamboo Cloud is going away in Jan. 2017

Migration to Bamboo Server is non-trivial and may not be worth the effort. See More

Top Pro

End-to-end visibility when linked to JIRA, Stash and HipChat

When connecting Bamboo with Stash and JIRA, details like JIRA issues, commits, reviews and approvals follow each release from development to production. If HipCHat is part of the integration, team members get notified right away in addition to email notifications. See More

Top Con

Free open-source require application to use

Bamboo does offer a free option for open source projects though it requires the user to apply for it in order to use it past the free trial. See More

Top Pro

Integration with Docker

Bamboo allows using Docker containers to create build agents. Using Docker agents lets you run multiple remote agents on the same host without conflicting requirements. It makes it easier to duplicate and distribute changes to build agents, and to use scripts for creating and maintaining agents. How can you define and build your own image and push it to a registry to share? This is when Bamboo’s Docker tasks come into play. Docker tasks make it possible to build an image, run a container, and push a Docker image to a registry from within your build or deployment project. See More

Top Pro

Out-of-the-box support for Git branching workflows

Bamboo allows you to automatically detect and build new branches, merge branches together when tests pass and continuously deploy code to staging and production servers based on branch name. See More

Top Pro

Test automation

Out-of-the-box features that let developers perform parallel testing on elastic agents and quarantine flakey tests. See More

Top Pro

Easy enterprise-grade administration

Avoid plugin hell by having most important capabilities as out-of-the-box features, not plugins. Bamboo is not just built for teams, but teams-of-teams. It has the administrative features you need to manage and maintain CI at scale. Enterprise model for access control, management, and support. See More

Top Pro

Bundled AWS CodeDeploy task

Distelli

Top Pro

Can deploy to any server, on any platform

Distelli suports all of the popular platforms and can be deployed to any server. See More

Top Con

Security concerns

Although Distelli is very easy to use and helps developers who don't want to spend time setting up their build environment, there are a number of security concerns regarding the tool. This is because you have to host an agent that allows RPC with a relatively unknown third party. See More

Top Pro

Allows tracking deployments

Through Distelli, the user can track who deployed what application to what environment, as well as when it happened. See More
