Perfect for a startup
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use. Intuitive design, takes few mins to set up
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a cheaper plan for smaller startups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated builds and deployment
Great tool for integrated testing
What do you like best about the product?
It can easily be set up with GitHub, and from there makes sure a new feature to be pulled in the main code base doesn't break any of the tests that have been set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's probably not a circle-ci thing, but when first introduced to circle-ci and not doing the actual set up of it as a junior it can be a learning curve. When you have failing tests in the circle ci it can be hard to see the errors or know which commands to run depending on the test suite that is failing especially with es-lint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure that new features are compliant with the testing suites and that it doesn't break the main code base.
Works great but support could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Docker support, works very well, good options, the workflows are great
What do you dislike about the product?
Support could be better and the Circle V2 launch was a bit of a mess, they put out a service which was barely a beta. Fortunately it has stabilised a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration
Hard to setup and goes down a lot
What do you like best about the product?
The automatic pairing with Github is really slick, especially as I add more repos over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's super complicated to setup anything more than a default build, especially with the new 2.0 configuration. There also seems to be a ton of downtime or partial outages, and no compensation is given when this happens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving a need for Continuous Integration. As other parts of our process come into place later this year we hope to also use it for Continuous Delivery. The main benefit is that we have an automated ability to have our tests execute on each push to Github and see test results within Github PRs for easy review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to build against multiple versions of a library/language (such as Ruby), TravisCI might be better for you.
Awesome CI tool which can easily be configured to fit needs of small to large scale projects.
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to get up and running with a basic configuration
- Lots of options to improve your configuration
- Possibility to SSH into build containers to debug issues
- Fair pricing
- Fast e-mail support

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Unit and UI Tests automatically run on every commit
- Building iOS and Android apps automatically on merges to specific branches, and in some cases auto-publishing to respective stores
- Automated Deployment of web applications

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
