Great for Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to deploy a public repository to a private server while hiding all sensitive content. Travis CI does not allow for this. The builds are also significantly faster than other platforms, and the UI is modern unlike some of the other competitors. I am surprised this isnt more popular among open source communities as it is pretty much free for both private and public repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of their new 2.0 system. I find the config file too verbose but this could be good if thats what you need. Travis CI and Gitlab have a much nicer config set up which I prefer. It is nice that they provide sample configs we can copy so it is bearable. I can see how this could be better for more complicated projects. I also find the dashboard a bit confusing. I think Travis CI nailed this with their UI, so this is something Circle CI could improve on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Other Continuous integrations do not provide the ability to deploy open source projects to private repositories. Circle CI however does let us, which means we can deploy things like our documentation to private servers for hosting but let the general public provide their editing and skills. The ability to set private environment variables and the ability to copy the public key so I can use that on my private servers for deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, its free!
CircleCI is what CI should be
What do you like best about the product?
Workflows and how easy it is to parallelize build jobs. I didn't have to ask devops to set up anything!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have services behind a VPN that public CircleCI cannot access. This is likely solved by CircleCI Enterprise but so far I haven't been able to get Devops to set this up for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would like to run our CI test jobs in a very parallelized environment. We also realized that we can run all kinds of useful scripts that analyze our pull requests and interact through GitHub's API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hook it up to one of your open source projects and try it for free. It really is great! Take the time to understand how to use workflows. It might sound complicated but it is not complicated at all. It really is great!

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to get a build setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how often circle ci is down or experience slowdown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving testing issues. Since CI we have added more coverage to our testing for most of our applications.
It's a fantastic way to automate almost any project from testing to deployment
What do you like best about the product?
The workflows and ability to run different sets of tests or types of tests on a single repository is fantastic. You can have both your javascript frontend code and python backend code in the same repository and run tests and deployments on them both.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a little confusing for the cloud-based setup in terms of deciding what you really need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If the desire is to move to infrastructure as code and move away from tools like Jenkins, this seems like a great way to do it. We're able to include all our configuration and deployment code in the repo with the code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check it out. Their support team has been great so far in giving advice and input on the best way to implement some things.

ECS deploy
Good stuff
What do you like best about the product?
Continuous integration tests, deployment features. Reduces need for me to go through manual deploy process
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is too steep to get started in a weekend. Had to hire an external contracting firm to get us set up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CI fixes problems before deployment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to spend some serious time (~1 month) getting it integrated with your system
It's just that easy
What do you like best about the product?
No fiddling with servers or configurations, just put your config into some YAML and away you go!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it was challenging to customize things to the level of control that I was used to with a solution like Jenkins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We spent a lot of time building and maintaining our CI servers- with CircleCI all of that pain is gone
Fast, fast, fast
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from TravisCI, there was a significant speed improvement switching to circleCI. Our builds run on average in about 1/3 of the time they took previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for a build has a lot of info and takes a little while to get acclimated in. Once I got used to it, I could always find what I needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating build deployment and testing for PR review for a large code base.
Solved all of our needs!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use, UI, supports all of our platforms: Back end with docker deploy, front end, Mobile.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was hard to get a decent Slack integration. Support could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With CircleCI we were able to unify the continuous integration process of all of our apps.

Take some time to evaluate it.
