At my current employer, we successfully use Jenkins.

But there are other such systems, for example the java-based http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ and its .NET cousing http://www.cruisecontrolnet.org/ - both of them were used at one of my former employers place. At another former employers place, we used post-commit hooks triggering a self-written python daemon which ran appropriate scons build files. And AFAIR, Microsoft also provides some auto-build solution for VSS or TFS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration#Software contains a list of CI software.

So even if you don't like Hudson or Jenkins for whatever reason, there are lots of alternatives, and I strongly suggest you evaluate continuous integration in your environment.

Best regards
