Simple enough to start using. Featured enough to cover our needs.
What do you like best about the product?
1. Pipeline as a code. Zero pipeline configuration outside my repository.
2. The simplicity of starting with. My first production pipeline was done after one evening with CircleCI documentation.
3. Documentation is good enough and up-to-date.
4. Plan Usage gives me a good understanding of how to optimize expenses.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. I cannot cache my specific Docker image for CI jobs (only layers of end artifact).
2. I cannot clear caches from UI (Cache key's prefixes changing is annoying. I have created a special workflow to store empty caches).
3. Tests Insights works only for one branch and the chart looks broken.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a CI tool in the cloud. We use it exactly as a CI tool :).
CI gives significant benefits.

High performance pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
Orbs, to integrate behaviour from other open source projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to me to modularise my pipelines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to build 10 docker images, we used a matrix to work with templates.
Good SaaS CI
What do you like best about the product?
Works fine, highly stable - I don't remember any issues within last month or so. Pipeline triggers instantly after merge requests - no need to update page or trigger pipeline manually.
The site works fast and usually very responsive.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I need to manually refresh page to see pipeline progess - I noticed this only between running pipeline steps.
Also, sometimes rerun not work - maybe it related of how my pipelines implemented.
Both of these issue are super rare and not affect overal experience for me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI allows us to deliver features/changes to our project environments in durable and convenient way. No need to run and manage standalone services like Jenkins - believe me if you an accurate manager it will ate a lot of time.
It's stable and fast, but a bit hard to learn
What do you like best about the product?
It's capable of doing whatever you want at a very good speed, and it's reliable; it does not have builds fail over nothing, if something fails means there's something you need to fix. Also, integration with code repositories and Slack is very good (at least on my experience)
What do you dislike about the product?
It wasn't easy to understand how to build complex pipelines. The documentation I found helped with basic examples, but more difficult ones were mostly at trial and error. Also, the default dashboard doesn't provide much data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps with productivity & quality, doing builds at a fast speed, including some testing automation. Once you have your pipeline set, you can mostly forget about it!
A tool I rarely have to think about
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with github along with the configuration files that can be committed to git make this a tool I don't have to worry about configuring when setting up new projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of an overall dashboard for an overall view of the stats for builds across the organisation. Also a team level view for owned repository based on code owner files would be useful for meta analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A standardised platform for all our services to use to ensure our environments are consistent regardless of tech stack means we can focus on service delivery and not other issues.
Customisable, quick and intuative CI Platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of customisation you can do is top notch. In a fully customisable YAML file that doesnt feel clunky.
The UI & UX is leagues above others such as Jenkins.

What do you dislike about the product?
However, I am not a fan sometimes of its speed. Whilst this is the issue with most CI platforms & is also down to build times, the speed in which the web/app could load could be better slightly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Were undergoing a business change, thats cool - and so being able to deploy and CI in a quick fashion thats just helpful and modern is useful.
Easy yet futuristic
What do you like best about the product?
It was quite straightforward to migrate our CI pipelines to CircleCI. It's really easy to create jobs and workflow and SSH into jobs and I liked the way we can use external and internal Orbs! CircleCI for sure receives my recommendation 🎉
What do you dislike about the product?
IP ranges are currently available exclusively for the Docker Executor and we had a few CI pipelines where we needed to use Machine Executor to make calls to private APIs and we couldn't! It may be avoided if your use case doesn't require Machine Executor making calls to private APIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI simplifies Continous Integration (CI) pipelines with secure and advanced features, keeping the configuration file simple and understandable at the same time!
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
We used circle cI for such a long time, and It was really helpful to identify failures before deploying, sometimes when we are working on local machine, without knowing we are usung cache data and that can lead to various issue in our system. Without circleCI we could identify issues that making by our mistake
What do you dislike about the product?
For now nothing, but we would love to get integrate circle CI with communication Platforms like slack, ms Teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identify build and complite failures before, and help to achive unit test coverage and identify failures before QA
Circle Ci is very modular and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Circle Ci offers a lot of tools and customizations. It is very well linked to github and has a lot of orbs . The documentation is also very rich.
What do you dislike about the product?
Circli Ci still have some limitations, like the integration with private repositories is still limited, also there is no support for concurrent pipelines to wait for each other to begin ( synchronously runnig )
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Circle Ci is taking care of all the process of linting; validating; running unit tests; integration tests and e2e tests along with build and deploy; technically Circle Ci is doing all the heavy lifting
How CircleCI monitoring system benefits us on our daily work
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring features of it is the best among other platofrms
What do you dislike about the product?
It is separated from github and github is running their own solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running the ci/cd procedure with a beautiful UI
