CircleCI, the Power House that Runs your Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI offers an interface that's easy to consume and easy to integrate with. Through a simple configuration file, a vast array of jobs can be run. Whether it be unit tests or build processes, all can be configured through a simple file.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI does not automatically refresh the state of jobs being run which can be an annoyance when jobs run quickly and as a developer I expect live updates.
The configuration file doesn't enable our a team a way to easily version between configuration versions which would be incredibly helpful when testing new job changes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the issue of build automation, deployment and integration. We use CircleCI aggressively in our entire workflow pipeline from development to release.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As an industry that was born on Jenkins, I would recommend giving CircleCI a try as it offers a more modern interface and offers better integrations for other products.
Circle CI works
What do you like best about the product?
Circle CI works just fine for my needs. I don't have to think about it very often
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is confusing at times. It can be hard to find certain actions.

A more simplified way to build pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
A more simplified way to build complicated pipelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Yet stuck with some caveats configuring number dependencies in one build
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continue deployment at most
Fast and easy way to add CI to your project
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to get started. The integration with Github worked well -- most everything just seemed to work right away. The documentation is much better than most tools out there and the sales/product engineers have been great to talk to as we were ramping up our integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't an easy way to manually trigger a job apart from opening a pull request. Not having dynamic workflows means you need to do a bunch of conditional logic in bash to skip parts of your workflow that depend on state.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standard CI in which we run tests when a new pull request is opened. When the developer merges to master, we build and deploy to AWS. We've seen similar costs to running our own Jenkins instance but have experienced far fewer operational issues with CircleCI. Its UI is easy to use so non-DevOps people can use it without assistance.
Best CI tool ever

The robustness and versatility of handling multiple platforms and languages
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be simplified for some users who wants to check build status or test pipeline

Circle Ci allows me to deploy things easily and overwrite changes with a series of a la carte scripts.
