Good
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with GitHub, Slack, level of polish, being able to SSH in to debug, using yaml for the configuration file
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow builds, blocked builds, inability to test on GPU instances
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Golden builds, automated testing. All developers know what the golden build it -- like the ability to prohibit merges if a build breaks or tests do not pass. Forces a high bar.

Fully-featured product with awesome UI/UX
What do you like best about the product?
I really love CircleCI's UI / UX. Being able to see builds spin up and run in real-time is perfect. I find everything very intuitive and useful. Whenever builds fail, I can very quickly find the problem and re-run the build. My favorite feature is begin able to SSH into the machine which has come in handy for some very tough to track down build failures.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to core features, there's really nothing I dislike. CircleCI does a great job of providing an elegant, well-thought out product. Everything they do, they do well. So to find what I dislike, you basically have to look at what they don't do. The top thing on my list is Selenium support. We've gotten it to work in CircleCI but it's hasn't been easy. I feel like there's probably something they could do to improve Selenium support although it's probably not easy. But that would certainly bring them to the next level in my mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They allowed us to implement Continuous Integration / Deployment and automated testing *very* quickly. It really has made that process so fun and easy that I've never had to convince anyone on my team why that might be a good idea. We've vastly improved our reliability. No longer are buggy builds getting pushed to live. Definitely a vital part of our process now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CircleCI is the only solution I've tried in this space, but they do a great job. They've had one or two outages in my time with them, but they've addressed and resolved those outages very quickly and professionally. Their pricing is very fair and easy to try out before you need to commit to a large contract or anything so there's definitely no reason not to try them!
Convenient & debuggable
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI makes it possible to connect to your CI instance and debug anything that went wrong, which is oodles faster (and makes less of a mess in git) than trial-and-error.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still remotely hosted CI on shared infrastructure, so you're at their mercy to roll out system changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI is easy to configure for CI and debug when it goes wrong.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a whirl. Push as much config as you can out of any CI-specific config file, though - shell scripts are your friend.
Easy to use and works well
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to sign in with 3 clicks using GitHub and see all of my projects is the best feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't really used this enough to figure out what features are the best for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
N/A
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out with a couple of projects because you may not get a good idea using just one project.
Circle Ci makes our delivery process very smooth
What do you like best about the product?
We love the concurrent build feature the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the error reporting is a little cryptic but it's manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're maintain ing higher code quality by enforcing tests are evaluated close to real time, so the break-fix cycle is always as short as possible.
Great and getting better!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quick the hooks are! v2's new DSL is a lot easier to use too
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to iterate on CI, so it can be difficult to set up a complicated job. Once it works, it's fine though. Build caching doesn't seem to work very well for us, so build times are bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running large test suites is the main benefit. We hope to create Docker containers with a pipeline next.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They are improving very fast!
Get continuous integration working quickly.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to SSH into test machines is invaluable. This lets you figure out errors very quickly. It would be great to do this locally but SSH is nearly as good.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for 2.0 is sparse right now. Fortunately, the support staff is responsive. If something isn't clear it's quick to discuss with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly to have a single source of truth for the quality of a code base. We have also come to use it for automated deployments to some of our servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's an initial learning curve to configuring the test, but CircleCI does a great job of trying to make it easy to debug by allowing you to SSH into the test boxes. This allows you to solve issues very quickly since you have an interactive session.
CircleCI gets the job done!
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to identify where in your build things might have gone wrong, and to rebuild/fix them when they do. It works well across all of my company's stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't seen any guest user functionality, which might be useful for our contractors who push to our codebase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration/deployment, and running builds.
A relevant solution for your CI/CD needs
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub integration, UI, free-flowing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not completely cross-browser, and builds can take quite some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Requirements checking for pull requests prior to merge.
Essential part of our CI pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is easy to use, has a very simple and powerful authentication mechanism (via Github permissions). It's very easy to add custom elements to the deployment pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, that's not a lot to dislike. All good!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's used for every project in our organization. Thanks to CircleCI we're able to test our projects and deploy them.
