Clean and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add more containers. Links to github easily to see who's commit is currently being tested. Ability to cancel and rerun builds if necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only one queue, would be great if could have multiple queues for different repos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
integration testing
Simple replacement for jenkins
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and configure, good overall performances and support. Integration with GitHub and Pull requests was the final choice to switching from Jenkins.
What do you dislike about the product?
Docker support still not easy as I would imagine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing continuous delivery without the hassle to maintain a Jenkins infrastructure.
Excellent Service
What do you like best about the product?
I like simplicity and how can I monitor multiple deploys at the same time. We have a microservice architecture so a lot of things going on a the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Some builds take too much time to run (iOS)
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
- Sometimes I need to manually rebuild without cache to avoid errors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- A very organized deploy system for our microservices giving us speed and convenience.
Circle Works well
What do you like best about the product?
It makes CI easy and seamless for common platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
Some less common utilities don't work as well. We've had performance issues where tests failed for no reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of continuous integration and continuous delivery. We found that using this method to software deployment greatly increases our productivity by closing the feedback loop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely consider using Circle if you are using common platform such as GitHub and Heroku for code versioning and deployment. The less mainstream and unique your deployment situation the less well Circle will work out for you.
CircleCI review
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to configure using the circle.yml file, unlike jenkins where you need to configure everything centrally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no such I dislike, sometimes the service gets a little bit slow compared to travisci or bitrise but it's still okay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing, linting, building static html sites and uploading to s3.
My Journey With Circle
What do you like best about the product?
There is very little needed in terms of maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of having to have someone follow the projects. I get a lot of unnecessary emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing and docker image creation
Why you should use CircleCI
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that you no longer have to worry about manually pushing out your builds to the Google Play Store and that with Continuous Deployment you can just sit back and watch this great product work.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike with CircleCI is when you have a PR that is being checked but then you push new changes to that same branch the first build needs to be completed before it can run the check with new changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We save tons of time with code review and avoiding code change issues by using CircleCI it's really a life saver especially when you have many people working on one code base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're not using CircleCI you need to implement it because you're wasting time!
Good
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with GitHub, Slack, level of polish, being able to SSH in to debug, using yaml for the configuration file
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow builds, blocked builds, inability to test on GPU instances
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Golden builds, automated testing. All developers know what the golden build it -- like the ability to prohibit merges if a build breaks or tests do not pass. Forces a high bar.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it
Convenient & debuggable
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI makes it possible to connect to your CI instance and debug anything that went wrong, which is oodles faster (and makes less of a mess in git) than trial-and-error.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still remotely hosted CI on shared infrastructure, so you're at their mercy to roll out system changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI is easy to configure for CI and debug when it goes wrong.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a whirl. Push as much config as you can out of any CI-specific config file, though - shell scripts are your friend.
Great and getting better!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quick the hooks are! v2's new DSL is a lot easier to use too
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to iterate on CI, so it can be difficult to set up a complicated job. Once it works, it's fine though. Build caching doesn't seem to work very well for us, so build times are bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running large test suites is the main benefit. We hope to create Docker containers with a pipeline next.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They are improving very fast!
