Solid cloud-based build solution for our Windows Phone app

What do you like best? I love that I do not have to maintain the build servers. Once our build configuration was set up, I could just forget about it, and it just works. Aside from that, support is great--fast, and helpful. It is also great to have that peace of mind about the status of the build when performing pull requests into our "develop" branch. Additionally, I no longer have to build store-ready packages on my own machine. Now, no matter the status of my own enlistment, I can pull ...
