A great platform for CI

  • September 08, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This platform is fast and friendly, and most importantly helps run all my unit tests to stop issues making way into production
What do you dislike about the product?
Prefer the old interface to the new one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build our code AMI and run tests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A strong CI platform that can do everything you would need. I couldn't imagine us wanting to move to another platform any time soon.

Better than hosting and managing your own CI/CD

  • September 04, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how it integrates with GitHub and the UI is fairly streamlined. Also, the documentation is decent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific, although I remember encountering issues when sorting out the dependency cache.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing continuous integration and automation around all of our codebases in order to ensure quality and consistency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying out several comparable solutions to make sure the one you select is a good fit. Also, a managed service is preferable to maintaining your own based on experience. You need to have a fairly specific need.

Fast, solid, reproducible builds every single time

  • September 02, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Integrates really well with source code repos like Github. Builds are generally fast and the container aspects of the pipelines are fully customizable. Very reliable and cheap compared to maintaining an in-house CI/CD solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new workflows take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise nothing much negative to report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI completely replaced our Jenkins based build systems, making our pipeline miles faster, more stable and easier to maintain. Once we moved to containerised build we were able to build container images on CircleCI and push them out to our deployment/repo system with very little effort. The CircleCI configuration is also really easy to pick up for new team members and really easy to customize to our needs.

A nice CI tool

  • September 02, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
User facing UI and functionalities. Full featured.
Fast and resilient, especially when the release of version 2.0, we are able to benefit from docker layers caching..our build time improved by 70%
Docker support is great when using container based builds
-Competitive pricing and free tier
-Snappy / Responsive UI
The great configurational freedom to the user makes it suitable for any and all kinds of applications. The step by step view provided is very helpful UI to track the whole process. The YML templates make it very easy to set up and the git configuration part is very well documented and just a few steps can make it work.
Is integrated with several tools like slack - Configure a project is simple and quick, and most of the cases once you have done this, you will not need to log in into the platform. You will have build going in a couple of hours. - I have it running in several project and works really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ui really needs to cleanup a bit, make it simpler. Also their need to provide more integrations with third party tools
Pricing could be a little bit better I guess or have a better free plan for beginners, I don't think any cons of using CircleCI actually.
Have seen a few downtimes in the last couple of months.
Version 2 has a lot of complexity that can make it hard to get started with. Their Orbs concept is bringing back some simplicity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatization is making us saving time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nice tool. Should go with it, frequent update and such.

Very convenient once everything is set-up.

  • September 02, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Integrates well with AWS services. Can filter deployment depending on the branch used in git. Can SSH into the machine during build phase in case errors show up. Shows a step by step procedure for every phase. Can divide the deployment into phases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to find out what went wrong during set-up. Some docker images lose support, thereby breaking builds that were already working in the past. Sometimes takes a while to set-up a build.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Runs auto-deployment with test cases together with my repositories. We get an idea for when a change can possibly break in the environment we use. Doesn't deploy code to live if tests fails. Saves time deploying the changes to live server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set-up is difficult especially when you don't have a template to use. Searching for solutions can take a while when encountering errors. Once set-up is done, it is very convenient since most of the time the errors will be coming from your code or the server to deployed on. Highly recommended for long term use.

It was the best tool for CI/CD

  • September 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Integration with the best partners of the market. From GitHub to Bitbucket, it offers deep integration with biggest players of the market. And we can improve our code pipeline and quality by adding merge checks depending on build tools. Also, non-technical people can easily deploy into the desired environment without making a mess or stopping development team to make a deploy for a demo or feature review.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new pricing model makes us migrate to another service. It's more expensive than AWS CodeBuild and doesn't have such integration with AWS Services. That's why it should be more cheap than AWS CodeBuild or come back with the old pricing model. The old pricing model was much cost-benefit cause we are not impacted for queuing jobs, but we could predict the pricing at the end of the month. With the new pricing model it was much, much harder to predict how much we would spend by the month. If we need to expedite a hotfix to production environment it was the fixed pricing, with the new pricing model, if an unexpected hotfix appears, that means more dollar will be spent by the of the month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complexity of deploy multiples times per day. It handles automated deploy for all environments, so our developers can see and delivery to QA Team what we are delivering in question of minutes and a couple of clicks. Our developers can easily see logs of what errors are throwing during the compiling. So basically, it's the end of "in my machine works" excuse. We can go directly to the point causing the error, and it's not directly assign to a developer, another developer also can see the error and find a solution. It's the end of the dependency of and especific developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Forget about Travis and Jenkins. CircleCI is the next generation of CI/CD pipeline. But beware with your budget, with the new pricing model the billing by the end of month could be astronomical.

Very helpful!

What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a super friendly framework for AWS apps!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, so good! I find CircleCi incredibly helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debugging the app releases have been easier with the logs, linting the app before release has been great, overall pretty seamless app deployment

Flexible and robust, ramp-up can be frustrating

  • September 01, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The free plan to get your test harness working before spending $$$ on cycles. Heroku CI and Travis CI don't seem to have that free, non-non-profit plan. And the flexibility to have a config that could handle literally anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can feel like days of guess-and-check with the configuration, and every once in a while tests will randomly fail on their end for a day, and then pass the next day.
Also the new UI was very circuitous and frustrating to use for a long time, and only last month were most of the problems fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full-stack testing and unit testing for B2B and consumer apps. The benefits have been reliable test coverage and QA with our small team, without having to dedicate our own laptops to constant running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free plans as much as possible until you get your configurations ready, so you don't feel a monetary burden just for learning someone else's DSL/API.
