It was the best tool for CI/CD
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with the best partners of the market. From GitHub to Bitbucket, it offers deep integration with biggest players of the market. And we can improve our code pipeline and quality by adding merge checks depending on build tools. Also, non-technical people can easily deploy into the desired environment without making a mess or stopping development team to make a deploy for a demo or feature review.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new pricing model makes us migrate to another service. It's more expensive than AWS CodeBuild and doesn't have such integration with AWS Services. That's why it should be more cheap than AWS CodeBuild or come back with the old pricing model. The old pricing model was much cost-benefit cause we are not impacted for queuing jobs, but we could predict the pricing at the end of the month. With the new pricing model it was much, much harder to predict how much we would spend by the month. If we need to expedite a hotfix to production environment it was the fixed pricing, with the new pricing model, if an unexpected hotfix appears, that means more dollar will be spent by the of the month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complexity of deploy multiples times per day. It handles automated deploy for all environments, so our developers can see and delivery to QA Team what we are delivering in question of minutes and a couple of clicks. Our developers can easily see logs of what errors are throwing during the compiling. So basically, it's the end of "in my machine works" excuse. We can go directly to the point causing the error, and it's not directly assign to a developer, another developer also can see the error and find a solution. It's the end of the dependency of and especific developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Forget about Travis and Jenkins. CircleCI is the next generation of CI/CD pipeline. But beware with your budget, with the new pricing model the billing by the end of month could be astronomical.
Very helpful!
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a super friendly framework for AWS apps!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, so good! I find CircleCi incredibly helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debugging the app releases have been easier with the logs, linting the app before release has been great, overall pretty seamless app deployment
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.
Please integrate this in your development pipeline and enjoy all the feature it has!!!
What do you like best about the product?
How it integrates to github and other software repositories. Easy to define tasks and checks an automate things.
What do you dislike about the product?
really don´t have what to put here. it is easy to setup but a little difficult to understand at the beginning. However, is really easy to catch up and enjoy all the product features

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.
Nothing compares to it
What do you like best about the product?
Usability, when using these sort of software we are always expecting to have the best usability
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I have no real complaints, is very user friendly so I can't complain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployment has never been so easy
Great self hosted experience
What do you like best about the product?
I greatly liked the reliability of the service. We switched from Jenkins and haven't looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting up and running took a bit, but it was pretty effortless once we had it configured.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to reduce costs of maintaining our Jenkins setup.
Good. But lagging behind Github Actions
What do you like best about the product?
Good conceptual model for doing CI, good features, good UI. Better CI concepts. It offered simple integration with Github (obviously industry standard), good permission controls, especially across organizations. A relatively good UI and straightforward billing model (discounted when activated from Github).
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of sharable library and buy in for said feature from community. Seems "heavy". Multiple workflows would be really nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, automated deployment, builds, artifact generation and continuous testing. We maintain a mono repo and so getting builds right is important. Circle CI's caching mechanisms were especially useful there, but slightly too slow to be fully used. We ended up switching to an inhouse S3 based solution. Faster docker image downloads and better layer caching would also be particularly useful. Until Circle CI gets better at offering a lightweight experience, with multiple flows and better modularity and sharability, ill be using github. Very tight integration with Github will make the effort to use a separate platform over githubs internal options are really required.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Circle CI for a solid CI/CD experience, but consider Github Actions for a more lightweight, extensible experience.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with my testing suite and github
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, I'm still figuring out all the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing automation, automating processes, reducing bugs.
