What do you like best?
Granular customization of deployment scenarios and projects. Ease of integration with other tools and Cloud platforms. You don't have to be a "DevOps Guru" to run and even maintain and debug your or anyone else's builds.
FinalBuilder's logging feature is superb and extremely helpful in debugging process because it logs the output from all tools it calls during the build process. Also, logs from previous builds are archived.
What do you dislike?
There's quite a learning curve before one could master FinalBuilder. Therefore, creating a build project could be fraught with errors and oversights for novice users of FinalBuilder.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I use FinalBuilder for deployment of multiple code versions to various Dev and QA environments as well as Production. Provide Dev and QA department members with limited access to build projects for adjustments/tweaks and other purposes. There's a great deal of other purposes and business needs that FinalBuilder solves (and makes lives of all participants of the software development life cycle a lot easier), such as version control, task automation, automated software builds etc. which, in my opinion, is a set of must-have features that should come standard with any other alternative tools/software.
