Good and solid product
What do you like best about the product?
Support for OSX platform and Docker containers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web UI could be a bit more user friendly and provide more configuration, like Semaphore CI does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast and stable way to test each code change.
CircleCI a Novice Experience Review
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that tests are automatically found without me having to set anything up is an amazing feature that I've been looking for in CI for quite some time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike. The documentation is a bit confusing for a novice with little no experience using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily, the efficiency of starting and setting up a new project is the greatest benefit from CircleCI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start off slow, there's no need to feel in a rush with CircleCI as many of the pit-holes normally faced when integrating some form of CI into your project are easily conquered through CircleCI's generous handholding.
Easy to set up and use for uncomplicated projects
What do you like best about the product?
If you've got a typical build pipeline and want to add your Android projects so they build on a 3rd party service instead of setting up your own Jenkins server, CircleCI should be on your short list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could never get caching of SDK downloads to work, so it always updated their build images version of the Android SDK to the latest before building and that was a waste of 5-10 minutes.
For larger projects, the VM they give you also doesn't have enough memory, but for larger projects, you're probably to be looking at more complicated solutions that involve running tests on emulators in parallel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifies setting up a CI/CD pipeline for your Android (and server) projects without requiring you to setup and maintain your own build servers in-house and worrying about them running of disk space, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Circle CI 2.0 is a lot faster now and is well worth considering. We ended up only needing to pay the lowest cost bracket.
Easy, simple, powerful. Yet sometimes black magic to make edge cases work.
What do you like best about the product?
Love that I don't run infrastructure. Love that it integrates nicely with Github. Really like the pricing structure, i.e not per project but per parrallel build...
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to do a lot of googling around to figure out things. The way it "inspects" your code to figure out build steps means that it's a bit like Rails, there is some magic going on!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to package and deploy every successful commit taht passes CI into our containerized environment for Quepid.com. It lets us provide a simple URL to our team (QA, product management, interested parties) so they can see in isolation every change made by every commit! https://github.com/o19s/grand_central
Clean and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add more containers. Links to github easily to see who's commit is currently being tested. Ability to cancel and rerun builds if necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only one queue, would be great if could have multiple queues for different repos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
integration testing
Simple replacement for jenkins
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and configure, good overall performances and support. Integration with GitHub and Pull requests was the final choice to switching from Jenkins.
What do you dislike about the product?
Docker support still not easy as I would imagine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing continuous delivery without the hassle to maintain a Jenkins infrastructure.
Excellent Service
What do you like best about the product?
I like simplicity and how can I monitor multiple deploys at the same time. We have a microservice architecture so a lot of things going on a the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Some builds take too much time to run (iOS)
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- A very organized deploy system for our microservices giving us speed and convenience.
Circle Works well
What do you like best about the product?
It makes CI easy and seamless for common platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
Some less common utilities don't work as well. We've had performance issues where tests failed for no reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of continuous integration and continuous delivery. We found that using this method to software deployment greatly increases our productivity by closing the feedback loop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely consider using Circle if you are using common platform such as GitHub and Heroku for code versioning and deployment. The less mainstream and unique your deployment situation the less well Circle will work out for you.
CircleCI review
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to configure using the circle.yml file, unlike jenkins where you need to configure everything centrally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no such I dislike, sometimes the service gets a little bit slow compared to travisci or bitrise but it's still okay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing, linting, building static html sites and uploading to s3.
My Journey With Circle
What do you like best about the product?
There is very little needed in terms of maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of having to have someone follow the projects. I get a lot of unnecessary emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing and docker image creation
