CircleCi
What do you like best about the product?
The configuration was the only thing we had to do. After that It just runs and reports back to us via github seamlessly. It was very easy to write a config file and once it is in the repo it just works every time. The only tricky part was setting up custom env variables in the build... but even that was not hard
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time there are hiccups where Circle processes will just crash and run out of memory. It gives us the false impression that something we did went wrong, but a restart is all we need to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Circle to ensure that test, linting, et cetra are all taken care of before code is merged in. This ensures our codebase is consistent and that all tests are always passing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a bit of time to tweak the config. As long as you know what you are trying to accomplish with circle it should be rather straight forward
Best CI on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Clear breakdowns, trace-ability, and configuration options. Integrates well and covers most use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation always feels a little behind, and like it's lacking examples. Mixed information online, so its hard to tell what's definitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build automation and logging. Removing human error from this part of the development process is a godsend.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your configs simple to start. Don't try to overload your CI step with too much responsibility. Leverage parallelization early on if you can.
CI/CD made simplehas never been easier and dependable
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is integrated with BitBucket which makes it easy to use. It works with BitBucket Pipelines which makes build and test automatic.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI, for a total beginner can be a bit intimidating to use. But with proper introduction and familiarization, it can be a very powerful tool in developing software fast. The cost per user can be reviewed as it is a bit pricy. And its user interface could be improved as it is not as user friendly at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI gave us the technology to use CI/CD. It is easy to setup and performs well. It does the automation quite good.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It is a solid solution for CI/CD.
Great tools, Excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is an industry standard for cloud verification and testing of code. The fact it's a managed platform means you can work on any repo from any location, on any machine, all without ever merging bugs or errors.
The support team are both very friendly, and very knowledgable, and have always replied in a timely manor even for the lowest of support tiers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the setup is a little complicated, which you can expect with any highly configurable service. But there are multiple guides out there, and once a repo has been configured, you won't need to edit it again for a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stability in code between team members. We use Rubocop and RSpec to ensure everything looks the same and runs the same.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch out for caching! That's the only issue we seem to run into.
Great platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automate deployments and Orbs are very useful so to make setting everything up much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is still a bit glitchy and I need to refresh my page to get updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is greatly increased the deployment speed and ease of deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product the free version and its integration with Github is very useful and easy to set up
Easy to use continuous integration service that has a lot of pre-built integrations
What do you like best about the product?
the abundant examples and pre buit integrations they call orbs.
What do you dislike about the product?
For more advanced workflows sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to debug what is wrong and the documentation is not great when things get more sophisticated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
make it easy to deploy software into the cloud using Docker containers and have relative confidence that what is being deployed is being tested.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CircleCI is a straightforward, well document and robust continuous integration platform to use and can save you days/weeks of time from having to maintaining and building your own CI system.
The best CI ever
What do you like best about the product?
The .yml configs, the docs and the website
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the way that we are billed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a CI/CD to a private organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best software development tool to use with Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. 100% recommended
It Integrates, It Deploys, ad it does so continuously!
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with github works pretty well. I like that I can click in Github and then it wil lautomatically bring me to Circler CI and there I can see what the error is although sometimes it is hard to scroll to find the error I am looking for. I have no strong feelins on the old vs the new interface, they are both alright if you ask me
What do you dislike about the product?
some menu options are confusing, especially when deploying and trying to find it under workflow vs. jobs. I often have to search for where something I just deployed it running, and once or twice thought it did not run when it did because I was looking in the wrong place. Also apparently theres a dicfference if I click on the repo name vs click on the master branch name in the dropdown and i dont really get why
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great for finding errors that crop up
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other. It gets the job done I guess. That's mostly all I ask for.
Good stuff
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, and adopt + teach to others
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is not the best nor most fluid

Better documentation/More concrete examples.Possibility of videos?
CircleCI has been very beneficial to our test automation
What do you like best about the product?
Our automated testing has been able to run smoothly and provide us an in depth overview of our systems functions
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of our tests are having difficulties with timing within the system, these have however been able to be handled successfully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved a problem where we were using multiple systems to run our integration tests and to provide reports on the outcome, Circle CI has provided us all of these along with the added benefit of providing feedback daily of how are tests are running and information on failures encountered.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend giving CircleCI a try, it is simple to implement and you will see benefits immediately
