Why I like Circle CI
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to set up, flexible, easy to scale. Generally fast. Like the ability to SSH into the tests. The UI integrates nicely into our other tools
What do you dislike about the product?
No particularly strong issues, the front end sometimes doesn't update if you leave the window open.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't run our own Jenkins server anymore, that was a pain.

It's worth your time
I am a lead technologist in Applicaster, dealing with multiple platforms and technologies in the day
What do you like best about the product?
it is faster in comparison to others that I tried and it gives solutions form all our platforms usage - Rails. NodeJS, Android and iOS.
After you get to understand the system it works very well.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the support. It usually takes a lot of time to get a response, and most of the times the answers are not helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing solutions for Tv broadcasters. We provide backend CMS and mobile apps for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is a reliable system but if you are stuck and need immediate support it is a problem.
It is easy to use after you get the hang of it. When you understand the way it works the configuration is sufficient.
It is hard to debug locally but it has a ssh debugging which help solving problems

Speed and convention over configuration for the win
What do you like best about the product?
Getting up and going is a breeze. I spent weeks trying to get some other CI tools implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Container management needs more refinement. Sucks when you containers go unused because of parallelization settings and then other repos, get stuck in the queue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed. Speed to get automated test done and features into production.
CircleCI makes integrating CI into your workflow a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI provides really easy to use interface for integration. It has default integrations to a lot of frameworks such as Django, RoR etc. Its integrates seamlessly with Github. And the CircleCI dashboard is very well designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing particularly. They do have system outages regularly. But there are also very quick at fixing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having better code quality and ensuring every git commit is well tested.
Best CI tool
What do you like best about the product?
The speed of the builds, and containers for each build, which makes it easy to configure the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of the ability to run builds on schedule rather than on each commit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CircleCI allows us to have a continuous deployment of our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very quick transition setup.
Great CI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCi is a great tool for beginners, simple configuration and easy to understand. In most cases you just create your account enable test and you have it running on your next commit
Great integration with Slack
I have manage to get CircleCI running with several rails project and extended to use simplecov for coverage reports, rubocop for code style analysis and Docker/kubernetes deploys

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes configuration of special needs can be tricky, specially when you bring tools like Docker to the mix. Currently they are working on a new version with better Docker support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is important to have a CI tool you don't need to worry about deploys if you set up your deploys phase and the team is always aware of the state of the build
Adding code analysis (styles, best practices and security) can improve your code review process

If you are using Docker is a bit more of work, but for simple projects is a great and simple tool
It works fine, i miss a nicer UI.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the configuration options. They fit nicely mi way of thinking.
I like just so much the inference engine. Sometimes I would like to be able to get rid of it.
I like the github integration where users don't have to create a CircleCi specific account, and they just login with their github user.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I would like to be able to totally disable the configuration inference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with several concurrent projects, and making sure that every single commit and PR is being tested is super helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better support for building through docker, I miss docker images caching between builds.
Good ci but containers need to be faster
What do you like best about the product?
They provide a free build container for open source projects.
They support some built in services for the build process, such as mysql, elasticsearch, etc.
The build process could be split into multiple parallel containers if you have a paid account and have free containers.

What do you dislike about the product?
The containers are somewhat slow, our builds take upto 20 mins to ups using a single container and no parallel containers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use circleci to continuously test our rails poroject and auto deploy the code when we are building release branches.
Great CI tool with good parallelization options
What do you like best about the product?
SSH access and wide parallelization of builds are by far the best features. We use 24x parallelization on our builds and it has made a huge difference in our day to day development efforts. Their file caching system is really good as well and very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit buggy at times, especially with large parallelization. You generally have to refresh the page to see any updates. The loading of logs can take a while. Both of these are cosmetic. We also find that at times of large usage of the overall system, i.e. Monday morning, the system can become unstable with tests due to longer test times (I think)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving continuous build and integration. Hook Circle up to heroku to get passing master builds to staging is super nice. Our large and expansive set of tests help us catch things early and easily. Give us high confidence in deploying.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, but quality has gone down for support and UI bugs. Definitely look in to seriously.
Easy to get started, easy to add to your pipeline! Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to add continuous integration to your project. If you can write a simple shell script, you can add CI, which is awesome. When you are working on a small agile team, the learning curve of a heavy build tool can be a big burden. CircleCI makes it really easy to get going and keep improving your pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options for the performance. Sometimes it's easier to throw "hardware" at the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to quickly build all our development branches and create artifacts for deployment.
