Flexible and robust, ramp-up can be frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
The free plan to get your test harness working before spending $$$ on cycles. Heroku CI and Travis CI don't seem to have that free, non-non-profit plan. And the flexibility to have a config that could handle literally anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can feel like days of guess-and-check with the configuration, and every once in a while tests will randomly fail on their end for a day, and then pass the next day.
Also the new UI was very circuitous and frustrating to use for a long time, and only last month were most of the problems fixed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full-stack testing and unit testing for B2B and consumer apps. The benefits have been reliable test coverage and QA with our small team, without having to dedicate our own laptops to constant running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free plans as much as possible until you get your configurations ready, so you don't feel a monetary burden just for learning someone else's DSL/API.
Circle CI is the most flexible CICD platform by far
What do you like best about the product?
Regardless of your needs, you can find a way to configure your pipeline to meet those needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reliability and uptime isn't 100%. Circle CI relies on a number of other services (GitHub, AWS, Docker Hub, Atlassian, GCP) so when those services are disrupted, Circle CI is as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast, easy, well tested, builds and deployments.
Reliable service
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a reliable CI platform. In my experience, when issues with your build arise, it's easy to trace them down and fix.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are minor UX issues. For example, when "rebuilding from last failed", the UI takes you for some reason to "All Pipelines" instead of the relevant pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI to continuously integrate the codebase, run tests, enforce rules and make sure the code is ready for merge.
Overall, the service is fine, only small items that might be improved
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to develop and test all of our apps, from Scala and Go to iOS and Android applications! It is built with a yaml file such that developers can add or change the build process without an comprehensive administrative CircleCI access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is often a bit complicated, as can be expected from any extremely configurable operation. But there are some tutorials available so you won't have to update the file again for a while after a file has already been setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normal CI for checking with the launch of a new pull file. We build and deploy to AWS when the creator merges to master. We saw comparable costs to operate our own Jenkins case, but we had much less operational problems with CircleCI. Your UI is easy to use so that users without DevOps will access it without support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It sure you have enough time to change the setup. As long as you know what the circle is like, it will be straight ahead
Best CI tool with free plan
What do you like best about the product?
Free plan, lots of prebuilt orbs. Simple configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free plan limitations. No mac os enviroment in free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not so powerful secrets and passwords manager. No first party terraform provider.
CircleCi
What do you like best about the product?
The configuration was the only thing we had to do. After that It just runs and reports back to us via github seamlessly. It was very easy to write a config file and once it is in the repo it just works every time. The only tricky part was setting up custom env variables in the build... but even that was not hard
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time there are hiccups where Circle processes will just crash and run out of memory. It gives us the false impression that something we did went wrong, but a restart is all we need to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Circle to ensure that test, linting, et cetra are all taken care of before code is merged in. This ensures our codebase is consistent and that all tests are always passing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a bit of time to tweak the config. As long as you know what you are trying to accomplish with circle it should be rather straight forward
CI/CD made simplehas never been easier and dependable
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is integrated with BitBucket which makes it easy to use. It works with BitBucket Pipelines which makes build and test automatic.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI, for a total beginner can be a bit intimidating to use. But with proper introduction and familiarization, it can be a very powerful tool in developing software fast. The cost per user can be reviewed as it is a bit pricy. And its user interface could be improved as it is not as user friendly at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI gave us the technology to use CI/CD. It is easy to setup and performs well. It does the automation quite good.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It is a solid solution for CI/CD.
Great platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automate deployments and Orbs are very useful so to make setting everything up much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is still a bit glitchy and I need to refresh my page to get updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is greatly increased the deployment speed and ease of deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product the free version and its integration with Github is very useful and easy to set up
The best CI ever
What do you like best about the product?
The .yml configs, the docs and the website
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the way that we are billed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a CI/CD to a private organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best software development tool to use with Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. 100% recommended
