Really good but some things could improve
What do you like best about the product?
First, parallel builds, second the support from the CircleCI team has been pretty good and the tool itself has a very nice user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the failing tests are shown is not that nice. We would like to have a nicer breakdown of the tests so it would be much easier to find. At the moment we have to go through the log or search the word "failing" to find out what is wrong. I really hope this changes later on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One big problem with had before with another CI was the unavailability of parallel builds that was one of the main reasons our team decided to move to CircleCI
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Overall, I think the tool can be improved but I am optimistic about its future. I hope they listen to users and keep improving.
CircleCI has a clean UI that presents information a concise manner.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of the tool in the presentation of the build queue. Information is easy to see at a glance, leading to quick resolutions. CiricleCI also has amazing uptime.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is packed with useful features, but not all of these features are explained. Greater integration into the workflow would make me feel like I utilizing the tool to the fullest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI manages the builds for our applications. It provides comfort and a single point of reference on the status of our builds.

What do you like best about the product?
automated, responsive, good UI, and can filter down to only my builds
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes i have to re-login to flush out stale UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
guarantees our builds work in all our environments
Moving from jenkins to circleci is the best thing we done
What do you like best about the product?
- Declarative configuration
- Container everywhere
- Speed

What do you dislike about the product?
- Some features only available by contacting the team
- Pricing scheme not clear, performance plan only available by contacting the team
- Pricing scheme not clear, performance plan only available by contacting the team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing jenkins was becoming more and more difficult. Moving to a managed, performant solution allowed us to spend less time maintaining and debugging and more time on improving our developers productivity
software developer
What do you like best about the product?
it is good and builds when we push the code to remote github, very convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a few minutes to build and have to wait...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to build the code changes.
Excellent service
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is continuously adding new features such as Workflows and support for Docker, which has fit very well into our software development lifecycle. In particular, support for docker-based builds and tests works very well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new workflows feature reports build success/failure on each step without indicating which part of the workflow succeeded or failed, making it difficult to know when a run is complete. Per-workflow notifications rather than per-job notifications would improve this substantially for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI to automate running test suites on our software products as part of our regular software development lifecycle. Having tests run automatically after pushing commits gives us confidence to release early and release often, and also to identify problems early in the software development cycle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great service with a good support community and I personally received excellent direct support from several CircleCI employees via the support forums and direct email. The initial setup is straight forward and I was able to get our first project building and running tests using CircleCI in about a day's worth of effort.
Critical component of our development pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to configure and start using
What do you dislike about the product?
removal of the 'rebuild without cache' button
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated testing for all branches and pull requests. Passing CircleCI builds is a required step before code written by any developer can be merged into our codebase. Using CircleCI has saved us from a countless number of bugs and mistakes--it's our engineering team's primary safety net.
I love CI about as much as Circle does
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of configuration is unparalleled. We use CI on new projects day one.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of tools for multi project repos. We would love to keep our front and back-end code together in one repo while splitting the CI for them. So, it'd be great if we could run two builds separately based on the same repo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lots of them. We run all our projects through CI and deploy from Circle as well. It's definitely simplified the way we operate.
Convenient, managed, quick, expensive
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI, once configured correctly, builds immediately once code is pushed to GitHub, whether master, develop, or feature branch. It’s simole and quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a hosted solution, and costs a fortune for enough licenses. It is difficult and manual to specify configuration values to inject during builds, such as encrypted or protected values.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run automated builds and deployments via CircleCI for all dev envirtonments to gain immediate view of the status of code and services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be ware of cost!
Just the right tool for the right price
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is versatile, easy to setup and integrates well with our existing cloud services like Github and Slack. The pricing is calculated "per parallel build", as opposed to "per project" - this allows us to include several small projects on the side as well, without breaking the bank. The ability to SSH into a machine is a nice bonus, it reduces the amount of time spent on tracking down errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike. Its versatility can be a bit overwhelming and it does affect the usability sometimes: some settings can be difficult to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI ensures our builds are tested, linted, and style-checked. This makes our review process more efficient and greatly simplifies the deployment procedures.
