CircleCi Review
What do you like best about the product?
Improved team productivity, Performance, and automated builds
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not encountered any problem with CircleCi
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it Automatically identifies =problems, which code changes caused errors and solve them quickly.
A nice CI tool
What do you like best about the product?
User facing UI and functionalities. Full featured.
Fast and resilient, especially when the release of version 2.0, we are able to benefit from docker layers caching..our build time improved by 70%
Docker support is great when using container based builds
-Competitive pricing and free tier
-Snappy / Responsive UI
The great configurational freedom to the user makes it suitable for any and all kinds of applications. The step by step view provided is very helpful UI to track the whole process. The YML templates make it very easy to set up and the git configuration part is very well documented and just a few steps can make it work.
Is integrated with several tools like slack - Configure a project is simple and quick, and most of the cases once you have done this, you will not need to log in into the platform. You will have build going in a couple of hours. - I have it running in several project and works really well.

What do you dislike about the product?
The ui really needs to cleanup a bit, make it simpler. Also their need to provide more integrations with third party tools
Pricing could be a little bit better I guess or have a better free plan for beginners, I don't think any cons of using CircleCI actually.
Have seen a few downtimes in the last couple of months.
Version 2 has a lot of complexity that can make it hard to get started with. Their Orbs concept is bringing back some simplicity.

Automatization is making us saving time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nice tool. Should go with it, frequent update and such.

Very convenient once everything is set-up.
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates well with AWS services. Can filter deployment depending on the branch used in git. Can SSH into the machine during build phase in case errors show up. Shows a step by step procedure for every phase. Can divide the deployment into phases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to find out what went wrong during set-up. Some docker images lose support, thereby breaking builds that were already working in the past. Sometimes takes a while to set-up a build.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Runs auto-deployment with test cases together with my repositories. We get an idea for when a change can possibly break in the environment we use. Doesn't deploy code to live if tests fails. Saves time deploying the changes to live server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set-up is difficult especially when you don't have a template to use. Searching for solutions can take a while when encountering errors. Once set-up is done, it is very convenient since most of the time the errors will be coming from your code or the server to deployed on. Highly recommended for long term use.
It was the best tool for CI/CD
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with the best partners of the market. From GitHub to Bitbucket, it offers deep integration with biggest players of the market. And we can improve our code pipeline and quality by adding merge checks depending on build tools. Also, non-technical people can easily deploy into the desired environment without making a mess or stopping development team to make a deploy for a demo or feature review.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new pricing model makes us migrate to another service. It's more expensive than AWS CodeBuild and doesn't have such integration with AWS Services. That's why it should be more cheap than AWS CodeBuild or come back with the old pricing model. The old pricing model was much cost-benefit cause we are not impacted for queuing jobs, but we could predict the pricing at the end of the month. With the new pricing model it was much, much harder to predict how much we would spend by the month. If we need to expedite a hotfix to production environment it was the fixed pricing, with the new pricing model, if an unexpected hotfix appears, that means more dollar will be spent by the of the month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complexity of deploy multiples times per day. It handles automated deploy for all environments, so our developers can see and delivery to QA Team what we are delivering in question of minutes and a couple of clicks. Our developers can easily see logs of what errors are throwing during the compiling. So basically, it's the end of "in my machine works" excuse. We can go directly to the point causing the error, and it's not directly assign to a developer, another developer also can see the error and find a solution. It's the end of the dependency of and especific developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Forget about Travis and Jenkins. CircleCI is the next generation of CI/CD pipeline. But beware with your budget, with the new pricing model the billing by the end of month could be astronomical.
Very helpful!
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a super friendly framework for AWS apps!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, so good! I find CircleCi incredibly helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debugging the app releases have been easier with the logs, linting the app before release has been great, overall pretty seamless app deployment
Flexible and robust, ramp-up can be frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
The free plan to get your test harness working before spending $$$ on cycles. Heroku CI and Travis CI don't seem to have that free, non-non-profit plan. And the flexibility to have a config that could handle literally anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can feel like days of guess-and-check with the configuration, and every once in a while tests will randomly fail on their end for a day, and then pass the next day.
Also the new UI was very circuitous and frustrating to use for a long time, and only last month were most of the problems fixed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full-stack testing and unit testing for B2B and consumer apps. The benefits have been reliable test coverage and QA with our small team, without having to dedicate our own laptops to constant running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free plans as much as possible until you get your configurations ready, so you don't feel a monetary burden just for learning someone else's DSL/API.
Please integrate this in your development pipeline and enjoy all the feature it has!!!
What do you like best about the product?
How it integrates to github and other software repositories. Easy to define tasks and checks an automate things.
What do you dislike about the product?
really don´t have what to put here. it is easy to setup but a little difficult to understand at the beginning. However, is really easy to catch up and enjoy all the product features

Circle CI is the most flexible CICD platform by far
What do you like best about the product?
Regardless of your needs, you can find a way to configure your pipeline to meet those needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reliability and uptime isn't 100%. Circle CI relies on a number of other services (GitHub, AWS, Docker Hub, Atlassian, GCP) so when those services are disrupted, Circle CI is as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast, easy, well tested, builds and deployments.
Reliable service
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a reliable CI platform. In my experience, when issues with your build arise, it's easy to trace them down and fix.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are minor UX issues. For example, when "rebuilding from last failed", the UI takes you for some reason to "All Pipelines" instead of the relevant pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI to continuously integrate the codebase, run tests, enforce rules and make sure the code is ready for merge.
Nothing compares to it
What do you like best about the product?
Usability, when using these sort of software we are always expecting to have the best usability
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I have no real complaints, is very user friendly so I can't complain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployment has never been so easy
