Great product, fast and easy to use

  • January 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Quick response from CircleCI when asking questions or seeking help
- Deep Docker integration, really fast builds with predictable results because of the ability to use your own build containers. Building Docker images with CircleCI is OK, needs some work.
- Deployments are nicely embedded in the product, and give all the room to customise to exactly what you need.
- Clean UI. It is quite quick, and is workable on mobile.
- Integration with Github
What do you dislike about the product?
- Inability to edit environment variables in project settings, delete and re-add with new values is a painstakingly slow process. Improving this part of the product will greatly enhance it!
- Random timeouts during building Docker images, the remote Docker engine does not feel quite robust yet.
- The CLI feels a bit underdeveloped. Having a local build that emulates CircleCI really well would be invaluable to keep the builds green.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Fully automated deployment of new versions of our product by building, publishing and deploying Docker containers easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Start with a working local build in a Docker container, publish that and use it in the CircleCI builds.

  • January 27, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to set up, flexible, easy to scale. Generally fast. Like the ability to SSH into the tests. The UI integrates nicely into our other tools

No particularly strong issues, the front end sometimes doesn't update if you leave the window open.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't run our own Jenkins server anymore, that was a pain.

It's worth your time

I am a lead technologist in Applicaster, dealing with multiple platforms and technologies in the day

  • January 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
it is faster in comparison to others that I tried and it gives solutions form all our platforms usage - Rails. NodeJS, Android and iOS.

After you get to understand the system it works very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the support. It usually takes a lot of time to get a response, and most of the times the answers are not helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing solutions for Tv broadcasters. We provide backend CMS and mobile apps for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is a reliable system but if you are stuck and need immediate support it is a problem.

It is easy to use after you get the hang of it. When you understand the way it works the configuration is sufficient.

It is hard to debug locally but it has a ssh debugging which help solving problems

Speed and convention over configuration for the win

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Getting up and going is a breeze. I spent weeks trying to get some other CI tools implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Container management needs more refinement. Sucks when you containers go unused because of parallelization settings and then other repos, get stuck in the queue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed. Speed to get automated test done and features into production.

CircleCI makes integrating CI into your workflow a breeze

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI provides really easy to use interface for integration. It has default integrations to a lot of frameworks such as Django, RoR etc. Its integrates seamlessly with Github. And the CircleCI dashboard is very well designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing particularly. They do have system outages regularly. But there are also very quick at fixing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having better code quality and ensuring every git commit is well tested.

Best CI tool

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The speed of the builds, and containers for each build, which makes it easy to configure the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of the ability to run builds on schedule rather than on each commit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI allows us to have a continuous deployment of our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very quick transition setup.

Great CI Tool

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a great tool for beginners, simple configuration and easy to understand. In most cases you just create your account enable test and you have it running on your next commit
Great integration with Slack
I have manage to get CircleCI running with several rails project and extended to use simplecov for coverage reports, rubocop for code style analysis and Docker/kubernetes deploys
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes configuration of special needs can be tricky, specially when you bring tools like Docker to the mix. Currently they are working on a new version with better Docker support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is important to have a CI tool you don't need to worry about deploys if you set up your deploys phase and the team is always aware of the state of the build
Adding code analysis (styles, best practices and security) can improve your code review process
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using Docker is a bit more of work, but for simple projects is a great and simple tool

It works fine, i miss a nicer UI.

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the configuration options. They fit nicely mi way of thinking.
I like just so much the inference engine. Sometimes I would like to be able to get rid of it.

I like the github integration where users don't have to create a CircleCi specific account, and they just login with their github user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I would like to be able to totally disable the configuration inference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with several concurrent projects, and making sure that every single commit and PR is being tested is super helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better support for building through docker, I miss docker images caching between builds.

Good ci but containers need to be faster

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
They provide a free build container for open source projects.
They support some built in services for the build process, such as mysql, elasticsearch, etc.
The build process could be split into multiple parallel containers if you have a paid account and have free containers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The containers are somewhat slow, our builds take upto 20 mins to ups using a single container and no parallel containers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use circleci to continuously test our rails poroject and auto deploy the code when we are building release branches.
