A solid CI/CD pipeline platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use it to build iOS apps, which many other CI/CD platforms do not support. Highly configurable via a solid declarative pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Environment variables cannot be switched based on branch/environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building mobile apps, front-end projects and APIs and reporting back on code quality to the repositories.
Simple to use and configure. Nice UI.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration and integration with other services. Especially when it comes to alerts on messaging apps like Slack or Flowdock.
Also, the integration with GitHub or Bitbucket in order to rapidly set up projects is a nice feature.
If you use Docker, start using CircleCI is a matter of minutes.
The automatic setup: it makes a separate branch for it and you barely have to fix some small settings.
The best part probably, since I'm using Heroku for most of my projects (mainly Ruby on Rails apps), is the plugin to add it and automate the deployments.
If you are a Quality Assurance Automation engineer, it's also an amazing tool to have your tests running and it is not technically hard to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation on how to build my own integration (with some custom tool).
The change of the User Interface design was a little confusing and I keep using the old one for some time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have my continuous integration and continuous delivery tasks for my projects running there. But I have also some functional tests for dev branches.
As a freelancer I used to use CircleCI to run small projects or proof of concepts.
It's also a good tool to learn using Continuous Integration and the foundation.
The main benefit is the easy access (I mean, the low price/free option).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. The learning curve is quite short and you will be up and running in an eyeblink.
Is great to integrate with other tools. Its price is affordable so you can try and test it for some time with some small projects.

My Circle CI 'Get me that Amazon Voucher bribery does work' review
What do you like best about the product?
Maintenance of standards in code formatting and layout styles.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to see the reasons for failure within Github directly, but having too click out to review them within the CircleCI platform, however not sure if this is your issue, or Github's, but I don't like it either way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintenance of standards in code formatting and layout styles, and saving recourses to monitor that
A nice CI tool
What do you like best about the product?
User facing UI and functionalities. Full featured.
Fast and resilient, especially when the release of version 2.0, we are able to benefit from docker layers caching..our build time improved by 70%
Docker support is great when using container based builds
-Competitive pricing and free tier
-Snappy / Responsive UI
The great configurational freedom to the user makes it suitable for any and all kinds of applications. The step by step view provided is very helpful UI to track the whole process. The YML templates make it very easy to set up and the git configuration part is very well documented and just a few steps can make it work.
Is integrated with several tools like slack - Configure a project is simple and quick, and most of the cases once you have done this, you will not need to log in into the platform. You will have build going in a couple of hours. - I have it running in several project and works really well.

What do you dislike about the product?
The ui really needs to cleanup a bit, make it simpler. Also their need to provide more integrations with third party tools
Pricing could be a little bit better I guess or have a better free plan for beginners, I don't think any cons of using CircleCI actually.
Have seen a few downtimes in the last couple of months.
Version 2 has a lot of complexity that can make it hard to get started with. Their Orbs concept is bringing back some simplicity.

Automatization is making us saving time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nice tool. Should go with it, frequent update and such.

Very convenient once everything is set-up.
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates well with AWS services. Can filter deployment depending on the branch used in git. Can SSH into the machine during build phase in case errors show up. Shows a step by step procedure for every phase. Can divide the deployment into phases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to find out what went wrong during set-up. Some docker images lose support, thereby breaking builds that were already working in the past. Sometimes takes a while to set-up a build.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Runs auto-deployment with test cases together with my repositories. We get an idea for when a change can possibly break in the environment we use. Doesn't deploy code to live if tests fails. Saves time deploying the changes to live server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set-up is difficult especially when you don't have a template to use. Searching for solutions can take a while when encountering errors. Once set-up is done, it is very convenient since most of the time the errors will be coming from your code or the server to deployed on. Highly recommended for long term use.
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.
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
