Great self hosted experience
What do you like best about the product?
I greatly liked the reliability of the service. We switched from Jenkins and haven't looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting up and running took a bit, but it was pretty effortless once we had it configured.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to reduce costs of maintaining our Jenkins setup.
Good. But lagging behind Github Actions
What do you like best about the product?
Good conceptual model for doing CI, good features, good UI. Better CI concepts. It offered simple integration with Github (obviously industry standard), good permission controls, especially across organizations. A relatively good UI and straightforward billing model (discounted when activated from Github).
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of sharable library and buy in for said feature from community. Seems "heavy". Multiple workflows would be really nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, automated deployment, builds, artifact generation and continuous testing. We maintain a mono repo and so getting builds right is important. Circle CI's caching mechanisms were especially useful there, but slightly too slow to be fully used. We ended up switching to an inhouse S3 based solution. Faster docker image downloads and better layer caching would also be particularly useful. Until Circle CI gets better at offering a lightweight experience, with multiple flows and better modularity and sharability, ill be using github. Very tight integration with Github will make the effort to use a separate platform over githubs internal options are really required.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Circle CI for a solid CI/CD experience, but consider Github Actions for a more lightweight, extensible experience.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with my testing suite and github
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, I'm still figuring out all the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing automation, automating processes, reducing bugs.
Overall, the service is fine, only small items that might be improved
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to develop and test all of our apps, from Scala and Go to iOS and Android applications! It is built with a yaml file such that developers can add or change the build process without an comprehensive administrative CircleCI access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is often a bit complicated, as can be expected from any extremely configurable operation. But there are some tutorials available so you won't have to update the file again for a while after a file has already been setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normal CI for checking with the launch of a new pull file. We build and deploy to AWS when the creator merges to master. We saw comparable costs to operate our own Jenkins case, but we had much less operational problems with CircleCI. Your UI is easy to use so that users without DevOps will access it without support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It sure you have enough time to change the setup. As long as you know what the circle is like, it will be straight ahead
CircleCI the Best
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to manage even for non - developers. I got introduced CircleCI last year for my Android Application. Before that we used to have Jenkins for build porcess. After CircleCI I would prefer to go with CircleCI for my future apps as well. Recommended other teams to get into it.
What do you dislike about the product?
User and application mapping may not happen for sometime
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable delivery.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and find its best.
Best CI tool with free plan
What do you like best about the product?
Free plan, lots of prebuilt orbs. Simple configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free plan limitations. No mac os enviroment in free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not so powerful secrets and passwords manager. No first party terraform provider.
One of the best CI/CD platforms on the market
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to start, a lot of resources, manual approval, quick, low cost and a very good resource management. Friendly YML and UI/UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user-seat feature is a little overpriced, could be a little bit lighter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using to automate the unit testing of our softwares, doing online End-2-End testing, making deploys to AWS, using with SonarQube. Basically, CircleCI is the hub that connect our software with the entire world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simply the best one of the market. A lot to offer, ready-to-start, really good solution for those who need agility and a lot to explore. You can use any kind of OS (like linux, windows or MacOS), you can use manual approval to deploy your stuff, you can integrate with a lot of platforms that use code analytics, you can integrate with GitHub for the best experience (and then you can put all your testing on the CircleCI, so every push/pull request will start a new job to check if your code is great).
The best one!
The best one!
Versatile, resourceful, insightful, and overall amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
I just love the whole aspect of being able to spin up different type of nodes very easily with different configurations and docker makes things easy so implementing with circleCI makes it even easier, we use CircleCI at my company, we integrate it with GitHub and cant merge a PR until all unit tests pass!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have any complaints, but maybe some more documentation, but like examples, more real world examples and custom / weird configurations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure all unit tests pass on Pull requests before we merge them, The benefits are that it can run in the background (circleci) then show the results on github and its always on the same environment
CircleCi
What do you like best about the product?
The configuration was the only thing we had to do. After that It just runs and reports back to us via github seamlessly. It was very easy to write a config file and once it is in the repo it just works every time. The only tricky part was setting up custom env variables in the build... but even that was not hard
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time there are hiccups where Circle processes will just crash and run out of memory. It gives us the false impression that something we did went wrong, but a restart is all we need to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Circle to ensure that test, linting, et cetra are all taken care of before code is merged in. This ensures our codebase is consistent and that all tests are always passing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a bit of time to tweak the config. As long as you know what you are trying to accomplish with circle it should be rather straight forward
Best CI on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Clear breakdowns, trace-ability, and configuration options. Integrates well and covers most use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation always feels a little behind, and like it's lacking examples. Mixed information online, so its hard to tell what's definitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build automation and logging. Removing human error from this part of the development process is a godsend.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your configs simple to start. Don't try to overload your CI step with too much responsibility. Leverage parallelization early on if you can.
