Easy to set up and use for uncomplicated projects
What do you like best about the product?
If you've got a typical build pipeline and want to add your Android projects so they build on a 3rd party service instead of setting up your own Jenkins server, CircleCI should be on your short list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could never get caching of SDK downloads to work, so it always updated their build images version of the Android SDK to the latest before building and that was a waste of 5-10 minutes.
For larger projects, the VM they give you also doesn't have enough memory, but for larger projects, you're probably to be looking at more complicated solutions that involve running tests on emulators in parallel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifies setting up a CI/CD pipeline for your Android (and server) projects without requiring you to setup and maintain your own build servers in-house and worrying about them running of disk space, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Circle CI 2.0 is a lot faster now and is well worth considering. We ended up only needing to pay the lowest cost bracket.
Hold your whole team to the standards you test
What do you like best about the product?
You can push up your local branch and let the whole test suite run while you continue to work so see if there are any tests that you might have broken. This is very effective for the 'unintended' consequences for your PR and not knowing what other parts of the code base might be effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the whole team setup was not that easy or getting access to your teams other branches so that you can see what you are waiting on in the queue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration and pre-deploy code checks to make sure that master is not broken.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely worth it to keep you whole team accountable.
An effective, if clunky, CI
What do you like best about the product?
Once it's set up, you can just let it run without having to think about it. If any of your builds do fail, it offers a lot of tools to examine what exactly failed and replicate the failure. It's really easy to see if something failed so you can fix it quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI's interface is incredibly obtuse at times. Various settings are scattered on different pages and there are sometimes arcane requirements to unlock features that makes onboarding new developers a hassle. (To their credit, though, their support team is fantastic.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI almost exclusively as an automatic testing tool. I believe it also automates deployment, but we do not use that feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation. There is an incredible amount you can do that isn't apparent from daily use.
Extremely Flexible, Docker Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent ability to parallelize builds, especially with the (currently beta) Workflows 2.0.
The new Workflows 2.0 is EXTREMELY flexible.
Very responsive to help requests.

What do you dislike about the product?
UI can be slow to load, doesn't work on some browsers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vastly reduced deployment times, much better visibility of builds for less technical team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Workflows 2.0 as soon as possible.
Easy, simple, powerful. Yet sometimes black magic to make edge cases work.
What do you like best about the product?
Love that I don't run infrastructure. Love that it integrates nicely with Github. Really like the pricing structure, i.e not per project but per parrallel build...
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to do a lot of googling around to figure out things. The way it "inspects" your code to figure out build steps means that it's a bit like Rails, there is some magic going on!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to package and deploy every successful commit taht passes CI into our containerized environment for Quepid.com. It lets us provide a simple URL to our team (QA, product management, interested parties) so they can see in isolation every change made by every commit! https://github.com/o19s/grand_central
Amazingly smooth compared to TravisCI
What do you like best about the product?
- Very light config file gets the project up and running without endless configuration
- Clean UI gets out of the way and lets me see my tests
- Artifacts and Docker support are top notch

What do you dislike about the product?
Although UI is simply and gets out of the way it occasionally is very sluggish on the latest version of Firefox. Doesn't seem to be a problem on chrome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do everything from compiling C++ dependancies to ensuring data is in the correct format to unit testing applications
Clean and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add more containers. Links to github easily to see who's commit is currently being tested. Ability to cancel and rerun builds if necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only one queue, would be great if could have multiple queues for different repos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
integration testing
Simple replacement for jenkins
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and configure, good overall performances and support. Integration with GitHub and Pull requests was the final choice to switching from Jenkins.
What do you dislike about the product?
Docker support still not easy as I would imagine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing continuous delivery without the hassle to maintain a Jenkins infrastructure.
Excellent Service
What do you like best about the product?
I like simplicity and how can I monitor multiple deploys at the same time. We have a microservice architecture so a lot of things going on a the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Some builds take too much time to run (iOS)
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- A very organized deploy system for our microservices giving us speed and convenience.
