Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is clearly the leader in CI/CD for microservices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult for us to migrate from 1.0 to 2.0 and the pricing plan makes it difficult to support both.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our CI/CD both on-prem and in the cloud is being migrated to Circle. Engineers love it, so it makes my life easy.
CircleCI is a great experience
What do you like best about the product?
- Docker-first approach
- very stable: almost no outages
- fast UI experience
- JUnit XML integration: see test failures in the UI

What do you dislike about the product?
- setup takes longer than for other tools due to Docker, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tests are executed faster and more reliable. CI is fun again.
Great for Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to deploy a public repository to a private server while hiding all sensitive content. Travis CI does not allow for this. The builds are also significantly faster than other platforms, and the UI is modern unlike some of the other competitors. I am surprised this isnt more popular among open source communities as it is pretty much free for both private and public repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of their new 2.0 system. I find the config file too verbose but this could be good if thats what you need. Travis CI and Gitlab have a much nicer config set up which I prefer. It is nice that they provide sample configs we can copy so it is bearable. I can see how this could be better for more complicated projects. I also find the dashboard a bit confusing. I think Travis CI nailed this with their UI, so this is something Circle CI could improve on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Other Continuous integrations do not provide the ability to deploy open source projects to private repositories. Circle CI however does let us, which means we can deploy things like our documentation to private servers for hosting but let the general public provide their editing and skills. The ability to set private environment variables and the ability to copy the public key so I can use that on my private servers for deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, its free!
CircleCI is what CI should be
What do you like best about the product?
Workflows and how easy it is to parallelize build jobs. I didn't have to ask devops to set up anything!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have services behind a VPN that public CircleCI cannot access. This is likely solved by CircleCI Enterprise but so far I haven't been able to get Devops to set this up for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would like to run our CI test jobs in a very parallelized environment. We also realized that we can run all kinds of useful scripts that analyze our pull requests and interact through GitHub's API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hook it up to one of your open source projects and try it for free. It really is great! Take the time to understand how to use workflows. It might sound complicated but it is not complicated at all. It really is great!
Burn after reading
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to get a build setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how often circle ci is down or experience slowdown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving testing issues. Since CI we have added more coverage to our testing for most of our applications.
It's a fantastic way to automate almost any project from testing to deployment
What do you like best about the product?
The workflows and ability to run different sets of tests or types of tests on a single repository is fantastic. You can have both your javascript frontend code and python backend code in the same repository and run tests and deployments on them both.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a little confusing for the cloud-based setup in terms of deciding what you really need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If the desire is to move to infrastructure as code and move away from tools like Jenkins, this seems like a great way to do it. We're able to include all our configuration and deployment code in the repo with the code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check it out. Their support team has been great so far in giving advice and input on the best way to implement some things.
Time saving tool

CircleCI works great
What do you like best about the product?
Works great for complicated, single-branch builds. We use it to build a docker image, run tests, then deploy to production.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wide build matrix is not as easy as Travis. Which is not a factor in my application, but makes it less suitable for open source libraries (for example).
