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
The CI solution you dreamed of, but didn't have the time to build yourself.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, very clear documentation, and strong real world examples make it a perfect CI solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a great deal to complain about I'm a real fan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes Continuous integration a breeze for any software development project.
Fully-featured product with awesome UI/UX
What do you like best about the product?
I really love CircleCI's UI / UX. Being able to see builds spin up and run in real-time is perfect. I find everything very intuitive and useful. Whenever builds fail, I can very quickly find the problem and re-run the build. My favorite feature is begin able to SSH into the machine which has come in handy for some very tough to track down build failures.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to core features, there's really nothing I dislike. CircleCI does a great job of providing an elegant, well-thought out product. Everything they do, they do well. So to find what I dislike, you basically have to look at what they don't do. The top thing on my list is Selenium support. We've gotten it to work in CircleCI but it's hasn't been easy. I feel like there's probably something they could do to improve Selenium support although it's probably not easy. But that would certainly bring them to the next level in my mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They allowed us to implement Continuous Integration / Deployment and automated testing *very* quickly. It really has made that process so fun and easy that I've never had to convince anyone on my team why that might be a good idea. We've vastly improved our reliability. No longer are buggy builds getting pushed to live. Definitely a vital part of our process now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CircleCI is the only solution I've tried in this space, but they do a great job. They've had one or two outages in my time with them, but they've addressed and resolved those outages very quickly and professionally. Their pricing is very fair and easy to try out before you need to commit to a large contract or anything so there's definitely no reason not to try them!
Circle Ci makes our delivery process very smooth
What do you like best about the product?
We love the concurrent build feature the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the error reporting is a little cryptic but it's manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're maintain ing higher code quality by enforcing tests are evaluated close to real time, so the break-fix cycle is always as short as possible.
Essential part of our CI pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is easy to use, has a very simple and powerful authentication mechanism (via Github permissions). It's very easy to add custom elements to the deployment pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, that's not a lot to dislike. All good!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's used for every project in our organization. Thanks to CircleCI we're able to test our projects and deploy them.
Gets the job done in the least amount of fuss possible
What do you like best about the product?
Circle ci makes configuring the integration server a snap - in most cases, a simple yml file with minimal changes between projects gets our android apps under CI easily!
What do you dislike about the product?
No one enjoys the one-off cases where the CI environment does not support the language features or runtime environment required to run the test suite!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Circle on most of our production android consulting projects! CI gives us confidence our projects conform to our client's expectations.
Good Service
What do you like best about the product?
- Mainly speed and flexibility, in how the test platform can be configured to run the workload exactly as I wanted
- Support is actually very good and very technical, easily the best I have seen in a vendor

What do you dislike about the product?
- It is not easy to test systems built against Ubuntu 16.04 (only Ubuntu 14.04 available out of the box)
- Sometimes tests are slow
- Containers are allocated evenly across projects in the organisation, so projects that have slow tests can simply steal containers away from projects that have fast tests, which is unfair.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We wanted a way to test every commit and not have to run our own Jenkins and babysit it
- We wanted testing run as fast as possible, notifications sent to chat rooms and so on
- So far CircleCI has solved these issues for us
- In addition the build parallelisation feature exposes issues in test ordering and is very good

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Invest time properly to craft a proper CI workflow with CircleCI at the centre instead of treating it as a simple remote RSpec runner.
Easy to use at a good price tag
What do you like best about the product?
- Super simple to setup
- Good price
- Excellent support for deployment
- Good price
- Excellent support for deployment
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks features found in Jenkins CI such as dependencies and using variables from one build job in another
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI helps our dev team spend less time on deployment and testing and more time writing code.
Stays out of your way and just works.
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to auto-deploy to Heroku for successful builds.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not sing me to sleep at on long cold nights.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just wanted to have reliable continuous integration & deployment, as well as automated builds.
A modern CI platform that just works
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI offers simple YAML configuration that gets committed with the code repository, meaning we don't have to spend time visiting the CircleCI UI unless we actually want to check the dashboard. Circle integrates with everything, the most important of which for us is GitHub.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI can often feel a bit sluggish, even with a multi-concurrency plan. The issue isn't so much with concurrency as it is the time it takes to spin up a single instance, configure it, check out the code, run your tests, and then finally deploy. This process can easily take a couple of minutes or longer depending on the size of your code repository and the number of tests, but as long as you aren't waiting for each deployment in order to continue development then it should not be a real concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are fully automating our testing and deployment process from our local development machines up to the production server thanks to CircleCI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out all of the options and choose for yourself--I think it's easy to see the benefits of CircleCI in comparison with pretty much any other CI tool out there.
