What do you dislike about the product?
- Product roadmap could be more transparent. The switch to CCI2 was pretty well executed, but I'd love to get more involved in plans for new features, bugfixes etc. Some kind of Changelog would be nice.
- I sometimes feel like the responses on the discuss.io board are a bit lacking, but that's very subjective.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Spend some time figuring out how you can improve the workflow of one small project.
- Use the first config you created and think about how you can go further and which parts of your process could possibly be automated or made easier with CCI.
- Write the support team or join their discuss board if you have specific problems you can't solve on your own.

Good stuff
What do you like best about the product?
Continuous integration tests, deployment features. Reduces need for me to go through manual deploy process
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is too steep to get started in a weekend. Had to hire an external contracting firm to get us set up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CI fixes problems before deployment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to spend some serious time (~1 month) getting it integrated with your system
It's just that easy
What do you like best about the product?
No fiddling with servers or configurations, just put your config into some YAML and away you go!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it was challenging to customize things to the level of control that I was used to with a solution like Jenkins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We spent a lot of time building and maintaining our CI servers- with CircleCI all of that pain is gone
Fast, fast, fast
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from TravisCI, there was a significant speed improvement switching to circleCI. Our builds run on average in about 1/3 of the time they took previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for a build has a lot of info and takes a little while to get acclimated in. Once I got used to it, I could always find what I needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating build deployment and testing for PR review for a large code base.
Great service
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to integrate into our existing workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are occasionally outages that prevent builds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build automation and continuous integration.
The Easiest CI
What do you like best about the product?
I like circle ci with the ease of it's implementation, doesn't have to learn the whole new things, it's also provide us with ssh access to your build which can be helpful sometimes to debug your problems, and you can do it with a single click.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't control how many cpu that circle ci use for my build, or I don't know how, maybe I just need to read the docs, i'm just too lazy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It help us with the automated build and test and also provide us with the build artifacts which we can use for the deployment also give use archive for each of our build, this things save us alot of time and cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take it, it will save you alot of times and hard work
Fast deployment for all DEV
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure for multiple projects. Circle allow to run tests (unit and functional) on every push.
What do you dislike about the product?
On Free plan sometime the queue can be long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Circle to test and deploy all branches on dev which provide an easy way to check if the development do what we want.
All teams can now test their request before production

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Free plan let you try and discover the platform even with private repo
Easy implementation and very comfortable for default use-cases
What do you like best about the product?
Super simple setup for small projects. The inference (CircleCI guessing your configuration) works really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI 2.0 is not usable for us without completely reconfiguring our development environment. When trying to get it up and running we ended up with a CircleCI configuration file which was more than 500 lines long, compared to maybe 100 lines in version 1.0.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enabled us to do continuous integration and continuous deployment, even when we were a small development team of just 3 people. No need for administration work, you just get it configured once and you're good to go.
Needed to give feedback to my reviewers on the state of my test
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use. You can analyse the state of your task with ease.
Very powerful configuration scripting through a very simple yaml file.

What do you dislike about the product?
Had some problems reaching a configuration that worked for me.
It all came down to some inexperience with the type of machine that runs the jobs.
It would be great to have docker image that would boot a local machine where you could test run your setup.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Github won't let merge any code without passing the tests.
My reviewers have a quick assurance that all tests are passing or they have a look at what failed and make fun of me. :)

Our mobile CI
What do you like best about the product?
During our search for our new CI provider for primarily our iOS team, CircleCI came to our attention. Their models allow for highly concurrent builds and fast startup times, which is very important to us. Their support is fast and on point. The best thing is the launch of workflows which come with their 2.0. They enable a lot of complex builds.
What do you dislike about the product?
They just released their 2.0 version and at the moment it lacks some features we really would like to see. But they are working hard on bringing these as fast as possible to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI for our continuous integration and delivery of our mobile applications. In the past we only had 1 Jenkins jobs running and the developers had to wait a long time until their tests were run. With CircleCI they see the results within minutes.
