Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Being easy to setup is one of its greatest advantages. Also, I liked the idea of opening my dashboard and I can use my Github repositories directly without any further setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far .. everything is working as what planned but may be a cosmetic changes like:
1. Better dashboard design
2. I don't like how the workflow tab is organized I can't find my branches easily
3. Also, may be we can have more insights charts specific to some actions like how many builds failed because of failure in testing (not in building for example) or how was the unit testing coverage for the past month and if it was increasing or not? ... etc.
4. I need to have circle ci mobile app (I am always working on the go / car and I need to access my reports faster)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI for our continuous delivery and continuous integration. We automate the following actions without any interference from our devs side:
1. Build on each commit for specific branches
2. Run tests (either unit / integration / e2e) on each build
3. Deploy specific branches to our different envs on AWS
4. Easy logging and debugging about what happened in each build/deploy process

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to automate your builds and having continuous integration / continuous delivery in your project which is a best practice .. I recommend CircleCI for this purpose as it is easy to use and you will not spend a lot of time in order to get it ready and working
Great Experience Automation using CircleCI
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with github, using the circle ci docker repository for various ready to use containers, scheduling workflows and one page view for various artifcats or reports are the best features of circle ci
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no Limitations for a small product or app. However, bigger products may face resource limitations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running automation on every commit for santiy, smoke and business test cases are critical.
It helps less regressions in product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Circle CI as the name suggestis more suitable for running unit tests, sanity, smoke on every commit and if you feel to schedule some tests weekend - circle ci does support this.
Nice interface, very easy to follow and create concurrent workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Creating concurrent workflows. Ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
There was one troubling UI thing where it was tough to click on the failing segment of the workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just running builds for PRs, running test suites and making sure nothing is broken.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product
Great CI Experience
What do you like best about the product?
- Very easy to install and setup.
- Enough memory to build your project.
- Significantly faster build process.
- Integrates great with cloud services.
- Exceptional failure analysis - you can easily tell why a build/deployment pipeline failed.
- Docker based Support is amazing.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Documentation can be confusing.
- Most of the build time is spent spinning up the environment - that can be made more efficient and faster.
- Yaml file can become verbose at times.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- CircleCi is of great help to our development teams. Helps us with our automated build and deploy infrastructure.
- Runs automated unit tests for our projects without having to maintain our own infrastructure.
- We were looking to move to a tool that solves our IaC (infrastructure as code) problems and move away Jenkins. CircleCI fits our requirement very well as we are able to include all our configuration and deployment code in the repo with the code.
- We are also executing Integration tests and in the process of creating Docker containers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Solid CI for Python applications.
- Really easy to set it up. You don't need any special configurations in most situations.
- Definitely consider it if you are using common platform such as GitHub and Heroku for code versioning and deployment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
None
Enterprise needs work
What do you like best about the product?
Smooth interface, one of the slickest out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise install is not polished and really could use a conversion to K8s or Fargate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smooth easy CICD
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Smoothest CICD for users, admin is still rough around edges.
Fantastic, revolutionary service which promotes all the development community stands for
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI allows a user to leverage the whole product on their personal projects to help bootstrap them
Once the ground has been established and you recognise the instant value moving to a paid plan is seamless and inexpensive compared to hosting on site deployments of legacy solutions like Jenkins or GoCD

What do you dislike about the product?
Remote docker instance is overly complicated (willing to expand further on a call)
Sharing of keys is painful (contexts work but being able to stack contexts like mixins would be nice)

generally good, but Docker support can be better
What do you like best about the product?
Clean experience with everything defined in a file. Everything is based on Docker.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the best Docker support: no layer caching.
Workflows are not really useful because they don't share Docker images between them, and pushing/pulling them from the registry will consume a lot of time, which grows with the size of the image.
The builds are sometimes slow.
The new pricing makes it unusable, so we'll have to move to something else, probably Github Actions or Gitlab CI.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CI/CD. Docker images building. We used codeship before, where everything had to be configured manually in the settings, and it eventually became messy.

Workflows are hard to make right.
Very powerful and simple CI/CD tool
What do you like best about the product?
Great integration with GitHub, fast deployment and simple configuration of deployments/builds/etc..
