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.
Essential part of our CI pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is easy to use, has a very simple and powerful authentication mechanism (via Github permissions). It's very easy to add custom elements to the deployment pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, that's not a lot to dislike. All good!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's used for every project in our organization. Thanks to CircleCI we're able to test our projects and deploy them.
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
Gets the job done in the least amount of fuss possible
What do you like best about the product?
Circle ci makes configuring the integration server a snap - in most cases, a simple yml file with minimal changes between projects gets our android apps under CI easily!
What do you dislike about the product?
No one enjoys the one-off cases where the CI environment does not support the language features or runtime environment required to run the test suite!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Circle on most of our production android consulting projects! CI gives us confidence our projects conform to our client's expectations.
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
Great for small teams, still trying to scale for big ones!
What do you like best about the product?
Configuring is easy and fast. You'll be able to have some flexibility right from the start.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't scale well when you're running lots of builds or have lots of moving parts. Builds sometimes can take more than 40 minutes depending on how busy the tree is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having circleci around to run our tests and making sure everything is sane is helpful.
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.
Works great for small sized team of up to 25 engineers
What do you like best about the product?
Basically the easiest thing to get started on, aside from Travis.
The iOS testing ability is great too.
Pricing is clear, and dynamic, you can change containers up and down every hour.
Performance is good, if you know how to parallelize and script things.
Artifact retention is great.
Awesome github integration.

What do you dislike about the product?
Had some real downtimes over the last 16 months, pretty disappointed when the dev team got stuck.
Random flakiness with the container dying for no reason, had to manually rebuild.
Paralleilization infrastructure is not great compared to TravisCI, it locks containers into stages and doesn't work like a fluid work queue.
Lack of matrix build support means it can't support large scale projects.
