Good ci but containers need to be faster
What do you like best about the product?
They provide a free build container for open source projects.
They support some built in services for the build process, such as mysql, elasticsearch, etc.
The build process could be split into multiple parallel containers if you have a paid account and have free containers.

What do you dislike about the product?
The containers are somewhat slow, our builds take upto 20 mins to ups using a single container and no parallel containers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use circleci to continuously test our rails poroject and auto deploy the code when we are building release branches.
Easy to get started, easy to add to your pipeline! Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to add continuous integration to your project. If you can write a simple shell script, you can add CI, which is awesome. When you are working on a small agile team, the learning curve of a heavy build tool can be a big burden. CircleCI makes it really easy to get going and keep improving your pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options for the performance. Sometimes it's easier to throw "hardware" at the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to quickly build all our development branches and create artifacts for deployment.
CircleCi as part of CD pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very good. Things are clear and easy to read.
Integration with GitHub is also very good!
SSH access has been very useful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Circle.yml can be quite confusing.
The ability to use self to built build machines would be good as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's speed up creation of articacts.
Seeing as it's SaaS for a startup like us; not having to deal with maintenance is a god send.

Positive overall
What do you like best about the product?
Seamlessly integrates with Github and is ridiculously easy to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Outages seem to occur more than I would like, likely because Circle depends on a lot of other services?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having an efficient and reliable CI / CD pipeline, the benefits are frequent and reliable deployments and the ability to ship features quicker.
Fantastic continuous integration services
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is one of the best continuous integration platforms available. Their services are fast and very feature rich, allowing things such as ssh capabilities for failing builds etc which can save mountains of time. Their service is very good at getting default builds running, and allows tweaking from there to make the build and running processes as smooth a possible. The support is always fantastic, with responses often coming within minutes of enquiries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Native support for some up and coming technologies has been slow to evolve e.g. Elixir; however there are many unofficial methods out there to support most technologies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration needs to be at the core of every development team. We have tried many providers, including hosting our own, and nothing had the simplicity and reliability that we've had with CircleCI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, the free tier is very generous, there's likely to be very little that you'd want to accomplish in the continuous integration space that you won't be able to do.
Pretty darn good.
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI let's you focus on development and getting things done. It's not another responsibility and it allows you to use your time more wisely (coding rather than baby sitting builds)
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI needs work. During builds we get a bunch of logs spit out and it takes forever to scroll down and follow along with the logs. This is seriously annoying and the behaviour doesn't seem consistent. Some initial set up also isn't all that simple, but once you get it going it's not really a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps you and your team focus on writing code and building features, compared to other CI solutions circle isn't another responsibility. Once it's set up it usually does its thing and it does it well. It's become invaluable.
Circel Ci is easy to integrate and use with cool UI/UX
What do you like best about the product?
Circle Ci is easy to use, integrate and have cool UI.
I mostly love all the feature of it.
It also provide 1 free container that is good for open source project. Open source project owner can be use this Circle Ci integration tool easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some times it's take a lot of time for test a build, i think it can make faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration for the product and Apps are easy to achieve with circle ci.
[Ci skip] is also supported by circle Ci so if we don't want to run CI for documentation releated code then it's make easy to use.

Engineering lead on an open source project using CircleCI
What do you like best about the product?
I don't have to host it and it's free for open source projects. For a relatively simple (dependency-wise) Go project with a good suite of unit tests, it was easy to get running, integrated with GitHub to ensure every PR was passing our unit tests. Once it's all configured it's great, it just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
YAML configuration files are kind of a pain. The available database services seem to be targeting a cross section of technologies and outside of the old school core RDBs (MySQL, PostgreSQL), hit a mix of highly used, and kind of esoteric options (do they have a lot of Neo4j or Riak users?). It would be nice to see a few more options available (we have a RethinkDB integration, hint, hint...) because I'm not going to pick my services because the CI system supports it, I'm going to pick a CI system because it supports my services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating test runs against all submitted PRs. We later added a CodeCov integration and we submit coverage analysis from CircleCI over to CodeCov. That visibility helped us raise our test coverage from ~55% to ~75% over about 3 months, all through small, less than 1%, bumps in coverage with each PR merged to master.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're test and build environments are relatively straightforward, it's a good tool. However other solutions are easier to work with as your setup becomes increasingly complex.
small team tested
What do you like best about the product?
The docker integration is super handy when I'm lucky enough to have a side project built that way. I have used it without docker for smaller projects too... I even think that is better than Travis, but my experience is less deep there. The setup is painless
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a bit sparse in an unhelpful way. Either the text and elements could be bigger, or more could be added. I don't often use the web interface, but when I do it's a "meh" experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for small client projects with private repos and few specs along with developing larger internal services in docker environments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it's the best built-in CI for docker environments I've used so if that applies to you it might be worth switching.
Continuous Integration flexible and modern
What do you like best about the product?
You pay for containers so you can have lots of projects running their integrations in the same container, in that sense is cheaper than TravisCI service, and generate the .circle.yml file on the repo can be done too on the UI
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't found shell tools for check the .yml syntax of the .yml file though the alternative of being generated by the web is cool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a travel company with lots of subsystems and apis connected, so continuos integrations of these apis was critical in order to don't have downtimes, or bugs that can interrupt the service
