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.
Automation
What do you like best about the product?
We can automate any thing. It is easy to run the test case while pushing code to github or bitbucket.
What do you dislike about the product?
Build and Test case execution taking long time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployment, Build and Config automation.
Good User Experience and Recommendable
What do you like best about the product?
Faster UI experience and low latency, Proper listing and description of builds for the User. Mailing Notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be Proper Log UI which helps to debug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building Continuous deployment and integration
Fast, reliable, and highly configurable CI system
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is an absolute breeze to work with, and can be configured to work for pretty much any project with as little as a few lines of config. It's native docker support is an incredible asset for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Docker layer caching is a paid additional feature, which we really feel should be included with any paid plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The release of CircleCI 2.0 was incredible for our team's productivity. We halved our build times, and were pushing more and more frequently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CircleCI's documentation is generally really great, and with the release of 2.0, their platform is better than ever.
CircleCI is one of the coolest CI systems in the block
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is very easy to use. You can see that the company puts a lot of effort to provide developers the best CI/CD integration there is. What I like best:
- Pipeline as code: deployment/build pipeline is part of your code and it's actually checked in in your VCS)
- Docker integration: CircleCI 2.0 is containers all the way
- Failure details: You can easily see at which stage and why a build/deployment pipeline failed

What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I would love to see CircleCI support is GPU but well that only applies if you're in the AI domain. Also probably better / more exhaustive build stats. I'm not entirely sure if it's possible but it would be nice if Docker volumes could be more easily supported when using the Remote Docker option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Continuous Integration
- Automated builds/deployments

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're into CI/CD then you ought to give CircleCI a try. It's a modern tool that can help you do a better job.
Fast, useful, most suitable for simpler projects
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI 2.0 now offers a powerful engine to run jobs on top of Docker images, which allows you to run whatever you need for your project, not being limited by the supported languages. Also, pipelines and workflows are highly customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although you can customize the pipelines however you want, having to write everything using YAML is really annoying and if you have a slightly more complicated pipeline, you'll end up with a huge YAML file on your project. Also, their UI needs to be upgraded with features like workflows in mind, as currently you can see a list of recent builds, as in 1.0, but cannot see a list with all previous workflows and which jobs have been ran on them, like in GoCD, for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm automating the test and deployment of many projects from my open-source organization. CircleCI has proved one of the best free options available due to its free plan to open-source repositories, even for mobile (iOS) projects.
Great hosted CI service, my usual choice for github/bitbucket project CI integration
What do you like best about the product?
Declarative configuration format, the 2.0 workflows is a good build abstractions. Supports bitbucket. and the ability to ssh to debug build is a HUGE win
What do you dislike about the product?
No support for private gitlab/codecommit integration
Docs for circleci 2.0 are still lacking, especially detailing built in images for services

Running tests on every push is a must in a modern software project
