CircleCI review
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part about circleci is automatically running unit tests every time you open a PR. It also tells you exactly where build and unit tests fail. I also like how java jars are deployed automatically so you can run your branch on the servers and makes iteration time faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that when looking at build and run tests from github it does not open in a new tab. I also think there could be a better summary page in the UI about the unit tests. Make it more clear where which ones failed and which ones were successful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem of taking a really long time to build and deploy jars. This was the main benefit and it made testing new code so much easier and faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My advice is to reap the benefits by using the build services, continuous integration services and deployment services. Integrating with other software will optimize circleci use.
An excellent tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I use this tool for is the automation of testing and deployment processes from GitHub. It really is an excellent tool for this, it helps a lot and saves a lot of time. It is very easy to learn to use and there is a lot of information about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really can't find a disadvantage of this tool yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration and continuous deployment. The ability to automate these tasks in GitHub is really useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend the use of this tool.
Seems like a good CI/CD platform from PM perspective
What do you like best about the product?
Seems like a good CI/CD platform from PM perspective. We are still trialing but it seems to have a solid feature set.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is a bit on the old side, or maybe command line driven design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control of what gets deployed and integrated for our SaaS solution
Nice interface, very easy to follow and create concurrent workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Creating concurrent workflows. Ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
There was one troubling UI thing where it was tough to click on the failing segment of the workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just running builds for PRs, running test suites and making sure nothing is broken.

Great product
Great CI Experience
What do you like best about the product?
- Very easy to install and setup.
- Enough memory to build your project.
- Significantly faster build process.
- Integrates great with cloud services.
- Exceptional failure analysis - you can easily tell why a build/deployment pipeline failed.
- Docker based Support is amazing.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Documentation can be confusing.
- Most of the build time is spent spinning up the environment - that can be made more efficient and faster.
- Yaml file can become verbose at times.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- CircleCi is of great help to our development teams. Helps us with our automated build and deploy infrastructure.
- Runs automated unit tests for our projects without having to maintain our own infrastructure.
- We were looking to move to a tool that solves our IaC (infrastructure as code) problems and move away Jenkins. CircleCI fits our requirement very well as we are able to include all our configuration and deployment code in the repo with the code.
- We are also executing Integration tests and in the process of creating Docker containers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Solid CI for Python applications.
- Really easy to set it up. You don't need any special configurations in most situations.
- Definitely consider it if you are using common platform such as GitHub and Heroku for code versioning and deployment.

Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Great integration to most technologies like node, javascript, web techs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The organization settings might be convoluted
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic deployment and test.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
None
Fast build / deploy, high build and test flow customization level
What do you like best about the product?
Build speed, containers, parallel builds
What do you dislike about the product?
UI sometimes has bugs and small performance issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it as a CI/CD system for my commercial development and deployments on GCP.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nice product and good pricing.
Wonderful tool for linter and more
What do you like best about the product?
It runs so seamlessly that I’m impressed with the overall process. It’s great to see it all come together so easy and quickly. Plus it just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing to watch out for is the documentation, it needs more detail
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building and Linters
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It’s the gold standard, if you need something that just works - this is it.
Super Powerful Tool for Continuous Delivery
What do you like best about the product?
We can build all our software and test it, everything from services written in Scala and Go to apps for iOS and Android! It's configured using a yaml file so developers can add or modify the build process without administrative access to CircleCI which is huge.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a little confusing at first so it takes some getting used to but once you've used it for a few projects it makes sense. It would be nice if it was easier to search for a project by its name. We have almost 500 GitHub repositories!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build and package all of our services with it and ship the resulting Docker images to a repository. We set up the repository so that only the CircleCI process can push in new images so we can verify that all the images are of code that passed tests and was reviewed during the pull request process.
Great service with a lot of flexibility; parallelization is great
What do you like best about the product?
The parallelization is great. You configure your yml file with a lot of prebuilt docker images and specify how many containers it can use. Very intuitive.
Also newly added support for Windows VMs is a very welcome and long needed addition. Now all major platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows) are supported.

What do you dislike about the product?
The performance plan where you can run unlimited builds is quite pricey, they count both your active users and the amount of resources you use, so it feels a bit like you're billed twice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Faster test execution (parallelization) -> more team productivity
- Build automation
- In the future we might use it for CD as well
