Why you should use CircleCI
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that you no longer have to worry about manually pushing out your builds to the Google Play Store and that with Continuous Deployment you can just sit back and watch this great product work.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike with CircleCI is when you have a PR that is being checked but then you push new changes to that same branch the first build needs to be completed before it can run the check with new changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We save tons of time with code review and avoiding code change issues by using CircleCI it's really a life saver especially when you have many people working on one code base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're not using CircleCI you need to implement it because you're wasting time!
Good
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with GitHub, Slack, level of polish, being able to SSH in to debug, using yaml for the configuration file
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow builds, blocked builds, inability to test on GPU instances
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Golden builds, automated testing. All developers know what the golden build it -- like the ability to prohibit merges if a build breaks or tests do not pass. Forces a high bar.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it
Convenient & debuggable
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI makes it possible to connect to your CI instance and debug anything that went wrong, which is oodles faster (and makes less of a mess in git) than trial-and-error.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still remotely hosted CI on shared infrastructure, so you're at their mercy to roll out system changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI is easy to configure for CI and debug when it goes wrong.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a whirl. Push as much config as you can out of any CI-specific config file, though - shell scripts are your friend.
Great and getting better!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quick the hooks are! v2's new DSL is a lot easier to use too
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to iterate on CI, so it can be difficult to set up a complicated job. Once it works, it's fine though. Build caching doesn't seem to work very well for us, so build times are bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running large test suites is the main benefit. We hope to create Docker containers with a pipeline next.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They are improving very fast!
Get continuous integration working quickly.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to SSH into test machines is invaluable. This lets you figure out errors very quickly. It would be great to do this locally but SSH is nearly as good.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for 2.0 is sparse right now. Fortunately, the support staff is responsive. If something isn't clear it's quick to discuss with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly to have a single source of truth for the quality of a code base. We have also come to use it for automated deployments to some of our servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's an initial learning curve to configuring the test, but CircleCI does a great job of trying to make it easy to debug by allowing you to SSH into the test boxes. This allows you to solve issues very quickly since you have an interactive session.
CircleCI gets the job done!
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to identify where in your build things might have gone wrong, and to rebuild/fix them when they do. It works well across all of my company's stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't seen any guest user functionality, which might be useful for our contractors who push to our codebase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration/deployment, and running builds.
A relevant solution for your CI/CD needs
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub integration, UI, free-flowing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not completely cross-browser, and builds can take quite some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Requirements checking for pull requests prior to merge.
CircleCI is great!
What do you like best about the product?
Easily to config (just drop a file in your Github repo, and it will run everytime)
What do you dislike about the product?
We're using docker, and currently it doesn't support caching for layers. I know that this is a WIP, but... :D
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI to compile our statics and it lowed our load CPU on deployment time
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration, reliable service. Good customer communications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much-- We really haven't had any issues with the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration, build visibility
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup and use. I like drilling down to the branch level and seeing the history of build successes/failures for that branch.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had issues with the dashboard UI being sluggish, using lots of resources in Firefox 51.0.1 and sometimes the UI doesn't stop loading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration and making sure all tests pass before a deploy.
