Great CI tool with good parallelization options

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SSH access and wide parallelization of builds are by far the best features. We use 24x parallelization on our builds and it has made a huge difference in our day to day development efforts. Their file caching system is really good as well and very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit buggy at times, especially with large parallelization. You generally have to refresh the page to see any updates. The loading of logs can take a while. Both of these are cosmetic. We also find that at times of large usage of the overall system, i.e. Monday morning, the system can become unstable with tests due to longer test times (I think)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving continuous build and integration. Hook Circle up to heroku to get passing master builds to staging is super nice. Our large and expansive set of tests help us catch things early and easily. Give us high confidence in deploying.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, but quality has gone down for support and UI bugs. Definitely look in to seriously.

Easy to get started, easy to add to your pipeline! Love it!

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to add continuous integration to your project. If you can write a simple shell script, you can add CI, which is awesome. When you are working on a small agile team, the learning curve of a heavy build tool can be a big burden. CircleCI makes it really easy to get going and keep improving your pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options for the performance. Sometimes it's easier to throw "hardware" at the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to quickly build all our development branches and create artifacts for deployment.

Nearly complete solution for Continuous Integration

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Easy to setup for developers
2. Ability to spin up different repos efficiently
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Lack of integrations with different hosted git repository options
2. Containerization of processes is a bit clunky and depends too much on the AWS infrastructure being up or down
3. Ability to parallelize should be docker or container based - not VM based.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team needed a solution that allowed it to spin up a continuous integration process without the headache of setting up and maintain different CI Solutions. CircleCI has filled this gap fairly well.

Unfortunately, it's great for smaller teams and I can't see it scaling to enterprise-level support or needs as the cost would be completely prohibitive.

CircleCi as part of CD pipeline

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very good. Things are clear and easy to read.

Integration with GitHub is also very good!
SSH access has been very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Circle.yml can be quite confusing.
The ability to use self to built build machines would be good as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's speed up creation of articacts.
Seeing as it's SaaS for a startup like us; not having to deal with maintenance is a god send.

Positive overall

  • January 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Seamlessly integrates with Github and is ridiculously easy to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Outages seem to occur more than I would like, likely because Circle depends on a lot of other services?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having an efficient and reliable CI / CD pipeline, the benefits are frequent and reliable deployments and the ability to ship features quicker.

Beautiful UI for Automated Unit Testing

  • September 30, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is beautiful and the documentation is really good. Just config a yml file, push to git, and your tests start running!
What do you dislike about the product?
Their containers are a bit out of date running older version of Ubuntu for example, but they are quickly fixing this!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCi lets us visualize our automated testing in a way we couldn't previously. It saves our development team tons of time and lets us deploy faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CircleCI is a great tool to run automated tests and keep the entire team up to date on the build status. I would recommend it for anyone running PHP or NodeJS. Integration is really easy. If you're running Docker (like us) it's possible but requires a lot of setup.

Fantastic continuous integration services

  • September 22, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is one of the best continuous integration platforms available. Their services are fast and very feature rich, allowing things such as ssh capabilities for failing builds etc which can save mountains of time. Their service is very good at getting default builds running, and allows tweaking from there to make the build and running processes as smooth a possible. The support is always fantastic, with responses often coming within minutes of enquiries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Native support for some up and coming technologies has been slow to evolve e.g. Elixir; however there are many unofficial methods out there to support most technologies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration needs to be at the core of every development team. We have tried many providers, including hosting our own, and nothing had the simplicity and reliability that we've had with CircleCI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, the free tier is very generous, there's likely to be very little that you'd want to accomplish in the continuous integration space that you won't be able to do.

Pretty darn good.

What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI let's you focus on development and getting things done. It's not another responsibility and it allows you to use your time more wisely (coding rather than baby sitting builds)
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI needs work. During builds we get a bunch of logs spit out and it takes forever to scroll down and follow along with the logs. This is seriously annoying and the behaviour doesn't seem consistent. Some initial set up also isn't all that simple, but once you get it going it's not really a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps you and your team focus on writing code and building features, compared to other CI solutions circle isn't another responsibility. Once it's set up it usually does its thing and it does it well. It's become invaluable.

Great if you need heavier features, otherwise heroku's CI features work just fine

  • July 23, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the automation of it. No issues with a developer forgetting to run a specific suite of tests, because you can't push without it. Also a little bit of public shaming when someone brakes the build is always fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a super basic setup. A couple of projects, with basic unit test and only a team of 3 developers so it's just a little too heavy for us. I don't see the benefit of dealing with the confusing UI when the heroku CI github integration works just find and is all in the same place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure we don't push broken code!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Checkout heroku or Travis

Super awesome CI

  • July 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nice interface, realtime build logs, works with Ruby on Rails, rspec, and cucumbers. Integrates with Heroku and deploys after each successful build.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. It's a free product, and does awesome stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration in the cloud. Way better and easier than a custom built solution, and CircleCI solves that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of the best cloud based CI tools out there.
