Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is clearly the leader in CI/CD for microservices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult for us to migrate from 1.0 to 2.0 and the pricing plan makes it difficult to support both.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our CI/CD both on-prem and in the cloud is being migrated to Circle. Engineers love it, so it makes my life easy.
Time saving and scalable workers
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI provides an easy to way to setup projects with multiple workers and pipelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Painful when you need to migrate 20+ projects from circle v1 to v2
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Deployment.
Benefits are: I don't need to manage my own CI instance nor hire build masters to maintain my CI infrastructure and builds.

CircleCI is a great experience
What do you like best about the product?
- Docker-first approach
- very stable: almost no outages
- fast UI experience
- JUnit XML integration: see test failures in the UI

What do you dislike about the product?
- setup takes longer than for other tools due to Docker, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tests are executed faster and more reliable. CI is fun again.
Perfect for a startup
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use. Intuitive design, takes few mins to set up
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a cheaper plan for smaller startups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated builds and deployment
Great tool for integrated testing
What do you like best about the product?
It can easily be set up with GitHub, and from there makes sure a new feature to be pulled in the main code base doesn't break any of the tests that have been set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's probably not a circle-ci thing, but when first introduced to circle-ci and not doing the actual set up of it as a junior it can be a learning curve. When you have failing tests in the circle ci it can be hard to see the errors or know which commands to run depending on the test suite that is failing especially with es-lint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure that new features are compliant with the testing suites and that it doesn't break the main code base.
Works great but support could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Docker support, works very well, good options, the workflows are great
What do you dislike about the product?
Support could be better and the Circle V2 launch was a bit of a mess, they put out a service which was barely a beta. Fortunately it has stabilised a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration
Hard to setup and goes down a lot
What do you like best about the product?
The automatic pairing with Github is really slick, especially as I add more repos over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's super complicated to setup anything more than a default build, especially with the new 2.0 configuration. There also seems to be a ton of downtime or partial outages, and no compensation is given when this happens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving a need for Continuous Integration. As other parts of our process come into place later this year we hope to also use it for Continuous Delivery. The main benefit is that we have an automated ability to have our tests execute on each push to Github and see test results within Github PRs for easy review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to build against multiple versions of a library/language (such as Ruby), TravisCI might be better for you.
Awesome CI tool which can easily be configured to fit needs of small to large scale projects.
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to get up and running with a basic configuration
- Lots of options to improve your configuration
- Possibility to SSH into build containers to debug issues
- Fair pricing
- Fast e-mail support

What do you dislike about the product?
- Product roadmap could be more transparent. The switch to CCI2 was pretty well executed, but I'd love to get more involved in plans for new features, bugfixes etc. Some kind of Changelog would be nice.
- I sometimes feel like the responses on the discuss.io board are a bit lacking, but that's very subjective.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Unit and UI Tests automatically run on every commit
- Building iOS and Android apps automatically on merges to specific branches, and in some cases auto-publishing to respective stores
- Automated Deployment of web applications

Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Spend some time figuring out how you can improve the workflow of one small project.
- Use the first config you created and think about how you can go further and which parts of your process could possibly be automated or made easier with CCI.
- Write the support team or join their discuss board if you have specific problems you can't solve on your own.

Great for Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to deploy a public repository to a private server while hiding all sensitive content. Travis CI does not allow for this. The builds are also significantly faster than other platforms, and the UI is modern unlike some of the other competitors. I am surprised this isnt more popular among open source communities as it is pretty much free for both private and public repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of their new 2.0 system. I find the config file too verbose but this could be good if thats what you need. Travis CI and Gitlab have a much nicer config set up which I prefer. It is nice that they provide sample configs we can copy so it is bearable. I can see how this could be better for more complicated projects. I also find the dashboard a bit confusing. I think Travis CI nailed this with their UI, so this is something Circle CI could improve on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Other Continuous integrations do not provide the ability to deploy open source projects to private repositories. Circle CI however does let us, which means we can deploy things like our documentation to private servers for hosting but let the general public provide their editing and skills. The ability to set private environment variables and the ability to copy the public key so I can use that on my private servers for deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, its free!
CircleCI is what CI should be
What do you like best about the product?
Workflows and how easy it is to parallelize build jobs. I didn't have to ask devops to set up anything!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have services behind a VPN that public CircleCI cannot access. This is likely solved by CircleCI Enterprise but so far I haven't been able to get Devops to set this up for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would like to run our CI test jobs in a very parallelized environment. We also realized that we can run all kinds of useful scripts that analyze our pull requests and interact through GitHub's API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hook it up to one of your open source projects and try it for free. It really is great! Take the time to understand how to use workflows. It might sound complicated but it is not complicated at all. It really is great!
