QuickBuild Reviews & Product Details

Likes:

The STEPS, STATUS views, GRID, Administration TAB.

The GRID tab to manage the agents is really awesome as it provides the different status like ACTIVE, INACTIVE and UNAUTHORIZED tabs which is going to help us a lot in case of testing and maintenance.

The Que menu really helps us in overviewing the status of the execution in detail.

The beauty comes in the Administration menu where LDAP integration setting is the one help us a lot.

The database management is really easy and provides the different authenticators options to go with.

The option to submit the support requests strait from the login page, the base data collection required for the support ticket, makes the life easy here.

Dislikes:

Need to restart the agent for any change in the environment if it is coming from variables.

The size of the build configuration is more sometimes which would consume the disk space quickly, but its okay in todays environment.

The SCM trigger need rework as it doesn't work as per the design sometimes.

Recommendations:

Need something solid implementation to dynamically distribute the environment variables changes quickly without restarting the agents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
