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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to evaluate it.
Long standing customer, CircleCI is good but we have had some problems
What do you like best about the product?
Much better value than travis. At some points we've had great support.
Docker integration is good.
Docker integration is good.

* doesn't work well on m
* ansi highlighting and new line control breaks for large outputs

The Cleanest Looking Build Manager
What do you like best about the product?
I am very impressed with how clean the UI/UX of CircleCI is. I have used many other build managers but none as nice as CircleCI. I also like how different aspects of the build were broken down by CircleCI. I haven't seen this on any other build manager and the individual times for each section are a huge help to figure out what part of the build process is taking the longest - helping us reduce time and reduce costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like how long builds have to wait. I get that there's a paid tier with more containers but waiting 20+ mins just to start a build is ridiculous. I think there needs to be a better solution to allow for more parallel builds
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving CI with unit tests and deployment for testing to Apple's TestFlight
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the support tools
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.
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!

An effective, if clunky, CI
What do you like best about the product?
Once it's set up, you can just let it run without having to think about it. If any of your builds do fail, it offers a lot of tools to examine what exactly failed and replicate the failure. It's really easy to see if something failed so you can fix it quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI's interface is incredibly obtuse at times. Various settings are scattered on different pages and there are sometimes arcane requirements to unlock features that makes onboarding new developers a hassle. (To their credit, though, their support team is fantastic.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI almost exclusively as an automatic testing tool. I believe it also automates deployment, but we do not use that feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation. There is an incredible amount you can do that isn't apparent from daily use.
Circle is my friend
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the simplicity. It just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Waiting on everything to run............
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous Integration

Great for small teams, still trying to scale for big ones!
What do you like best about the product?
Configuring is easy and fast. You'll be able to have some flexibility right from the start.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't scale well when you're running lots of builds or have lots of moving parts. Builds sometimes can take more than 40 minutes depending on how busy the tree is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having circleci around to run our tests and making sure everything is sane is helpful.
Better than the rest
What do you like best about the product?
Circle integrates easily into github. Circle also allow us to split up our tests across 16 instances which saves us a lot of time. We don't have to worry about the details of CI, which allows my team to focus more on delivery.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is often instability and its not always clear what the problems are. We often find that versions of things are updated without us knowing. Because we rely so heavily on circleci, when its down or has problems we are completely blocked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to roll our own CI using Jenkins and we were not happy with having to deal with upgrades and maintenance of the CI. We no longer have to worry about the details.
We use CI for development and delivery. We deploy 20+ times a day (or as needed)... circle is the center of our continuous delivery.
