Read the documentation thoroughly as there are some things that I missed in the setup which caused me issues further on.

make our process alot faster
What do you like best about the product?
the ci pipeline that allow us to create automated jobs to perform any complex tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
the ui can be more simple, easier to find things
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
deploy hundreds of microservices app, with circleci, we were able to deploy them with a single click.
User-friendly Continuous Integration tool
What do you like best about the product?
The interface for tracking jobs and workflows is great and really works well. Even with multiple projects and organizations in play, you can get to what you want without too much hassle. The configuration is a bit complex, but it is very well documented. Getting started initially is fully documented no matter where you start. It works with bitbucket and github and probably gitlab too. Debugging why a job or workflow failed is straightforward thanks to the information provided.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration is very complex and can be a rabbit hole in some projects. It would also be nice if there docker images available was more clearly documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for automating production builds of client sites, testing and linting of development code, automated deployment process. It helps to make sure that everything is consistent and ready for deployment. We save time that we can spend elsewhere on the project without worrying about tending to circle. We know that it will only fail if we did something wrong and that is good as gold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are already using Github or another tool and you want to get into automating builds and deployments, this is the way to go. Getting started is quick and very well-documented. It is also possible to integrate with Slack and other software to provide other notification about build status.
Easy CI setup
What do you like best about the product?
Automatically deploy depending on which branch is pushed to; easy integration with Github to ensure tests pass before merge
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding some settings in the UI can be difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Requiring QA and unit tests to pass prior to merge to prevent regressions; not having to deploy anything manually
Makes CI/CD easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Circle is incredibly easy of use, I was ready to go in under an hour!
What do you dislike about the product?
Switching between old projects that don't have pipelines configured and new jobs on v2 is a bit of a break in experience
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before CircleCI, I was stuck using our company's old version of a self hosted Jenkins. New projects took hours to configure. The first time I tried out Circle, I was deploying within 20 minutes!
CircleCI - Easy, Fast, and Well-Documented Setup and CI for Small & Large Business
What do you like best about the product?
The new UI for CircleCI is user-friendly. The documentation is easy to use and you can learn the tool very quickly. I love the fact that you can do direct integration with Git and other tools without having to do a lot of research. Also, security is great with CircleCI with it's management of environment variables and secrets. When tests fail, you do see the tests that failed, with their names and the top-level error. This makes it very easy and quick to debug errors in CI builds where tests have many errors... only showing the most important ones at the forefront. I love that you can use Privar Docker containers in your config.yml builds. Other tools, such as GitLabCI, do not allow the usage of private containers, but only Private Docker repositories. We are utilizing the main Docker Hub with a private container and can test it using a public framework in a secure manner, this is very great functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Email notifications enabled with CI default. Sometimes it is not clear how the cache is used and how to maintain the cache in your config files to optimize the builds. The test results are not very verbose/detailed if all of the tests pass when running tests which output a JUnit/etc. file. It just states "All tests are passing." I wish it would include the attached test results PDF and screenshots taken during UI testing in this view somewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast CI for managing our Docker containers and assisting clients with new functionality faster than before. We are able to test things in a framework faster, and thus can get more changes to our Docker images out to clients. I am able to implement smaller changes quickly and get near instant results on test branches, all within the same tool. I can do live demos with clients, showcasing our integrations with 3rd-party tools (namely CircleCI) and Git as well.
Clean and Adaptable
What do you like best about the product?
I like how circle ci configs let you do anything you want with the build pipeline
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a little bit unintuitive a slight learning curve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving over from Travis CI we have reduce build/test times significantly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find config files that are similar to your tech stack and project and save time getting your build setup.
Simple configuration
What do you like best about the product?
I find it very easy to set up project to run and deploy in circleci workflows. I like that every job runs inside a container and it's easy to configure and run additional containers need for the job.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel the UI can be improved. For the way I use it I am only interested in workflows and not individual jobs. For some reason I get to the jobs page quite often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for continuous deployment and delivery. We use trunk base development and every commit to the master branch triggers a workflow that first runs the test and offers the option to approve the deployment after the tests have passed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it. I remember our company had a free trial for one or two weeks. I think there is also a free version for personal use.
Intimidating at first, but great flexibility and abilities
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in declaring multiple workflows and jobs:
- specifically can easily run the same set of tests with different criteria in parallel
- easily can have certain tests ran (or not ran) based on what's included in the change (pull request)
- specifically can easily run the same set of tests with different criteria in parallel
- easily can have certain tests ran (or not ran) based on what's included in the change (pull request)
What do you dislike about the product?
With great flexibility and power comes potentially great learning curve, and intimidating with all that can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated tests while maintaining a large open source project
Circle CI is easy to setup and saves a ton of time
What do you like best about the product?
Seeing Circle CI test runs right on the GitHub PR page
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the Circle CI UI could be cleaner
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI for almost all our CI needs, including unit tests, end-to-end tests, linter checks, etc. So it makes it super easy to check PRs for quality and to prevent code regression.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying it out. It’s super easy and makes development so much faster
