"Powerful Management of CI Pipelines"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

It's very difficult without a tool like CircleCI to actually understand the health of one's development pipelines - whether or not things are actually slow, failing often etc. etc. Collecting data is easy, but putting it together into useful charts so that a human being can actually glean insights takes a bit of art and CircleCI provides that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

I find the default Dashboard view to be fairly useless, and would recommend new users jump straight to insights where the actual 'dashboard' graphs are. A list of jobs and their status is... semi-useful, but it shouldn't be the default homepage. A user would be looking for failures or looking for high-level understanding (percentages and the like) of all jobs over some duration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good SaaS CI"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

Works fine, highly stable - I don't remember any issues within last month or so. Pipeline triggers instantly after merge requests - no need to update page or trigger pipeline manually.

The site works fast and usually very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

Sometimes I need to manually refresh page to see pipeline progess - I noticed this only between running pipeline steps.

Also, sometimes rerun not work - maybe it related of how my pipelines implemented.

Both of these issue are super rare and not affect overal experience for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good CI/CD tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

The best thing is the ability to re-start a test step wtih SSH and see what failed, mess around the pod to fix it, and then commit on your local machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

It is expensive. There are various plans, but the cost was too great for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple enough to start using. Featured enough to cover our needs."
4.5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

1. Pipeline as a code. Zero pipeline configuration outside my repository.

2. The simplicity of starting with. My first production pipeline was done after one evening with CircleCI documentation.

3. Documentation is good enough and up-to-date.

4. Plan Usage gives me a good understanding of how to optimize expenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

1. I cannot cache my specific Docker image for CI jobs (only layers of end artifact).

2. I cannot clear caches from UI (Cache key's prefixes changing is annoying. I have created a special workflow to store empty caches).

3. Tests Insights works only for one branch and the chart looks broken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
