Is IncrediBuild worth it?
Yes, it’s good, though I used it a few years ago and haven’t revisited it since. We didn’t get the issues outlined in another answer with reliability. We had a project where it reduced build time from hours to minutes. You need enough spare CPU capacity on enough machines to scale it out sufficiently.
