Not sure which CI Server to use?

We've been using CruiseControl.Net for our builds in Stormwind Project.

Even though I like CCNet a lot, it's coming to the point where we need more from our CI Server. We were going to build this ourselves as plug-ins for CCNet.

That's a lot of work though, so I started to think about trying other build servers. I, then, stumbled on this gem: CI Feature Matrix.

It's a MASSIVE comparison of Build Servers all around by ThoughtWorks and CodeHaus. If you're not sure which one to pick, or just would like to have more options, by all means, check it out.

TeamCity looks OK to me. Have you tried it?

Not yet. Have you? I'm in the process of installing Bamboo from Atlassian to check it out.

Thanks for the comment,

I haven't done anything advanced via TeamCity so far (just typical CI cycle), nevertheless IMO it's much easier to configure and manage than CC.Net. Especially when you have many projects and many build configurations.

CC.Net is OK, but it's rather basic.

Licensing is not a factor for TeamCity in OS projects.

And... TC is from JetBrains ;)

Anyway - it's worth to take a look at.

Thank you very much for your support Pawel, and since we are at it, do you use NAnt with TeamCity? Do you know if that is feasible? Is it easy? Do you want to talk in Msn about it?

Sorry for the loads of questions. If you'd like to help me just send me an e-mail at heynemann at gmail with your msn and I'll add you! :)

Thank you very much for your help anyway!

TeamCity all the way.

I am using NAnt with teamcity. Artifacts produced by the build are picked up by teamcity without any major configuration, you can easily add artifacts as tabs in the build report.

I could sit here for hours talking about the benefits. I did a couple of presentations about TeamCity awhile ago in Orlando. Definately check it out. It's worth it.
