"CircleCI: makes everything better"
5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

Completely scripted which makes version control very easy. At every point you have control over what is going to be executed and ther are no surprises. We were using Jenkins as a solution for a long time but we are migrating our system to be solely CircleCI dependent when it comes to CI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

Missing some features like out-of-the-box control over pipeline execution depending on code changes (e.g to skip some steps if non-related code is changed). Cool feature would be to have possibility to use real hardware as executors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good platform for our CI/CD workflows"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

Love the visibility of the box resourcing. Love the ability to easily parallelize workflows and the interface is intuitive to work with. I would recommend circleci for growing companies that don't need a ton of complex orchestration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

We've had to move some of our workflows to codefresh that are more complex and require a lot more orchestrated flows. It would be nice to be able to consolidate our flows to one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy yet futuristic"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

It was quite straightforward to migrate our CI pipelines to CircleCI. It's really easy to create jobs and workflow and SSH into jobs and I liked the way we can use external and internal Orbs! CircleCI for sure receives my recommendation 🎉 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

IP ranges are currently available exclusively for the Docker Executor and we had a few CI pipelines where we needed to use Machine Executor to make calls to private APIs and we couldn't! It may be avoided if your use case doesn't require Machine Executor making calls to private APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and clean yet powerful"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

The UI makes things so understandable, I rarely have to ask someone else about something because everything is so clear and feels in its place, I like that you can have multiple projects and change between them with a dropdown Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

I don't know how easy is to setup because I didn't do that job myself, but if you can make that as simple as it is to actually use it, then you're pretty much set Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"From the commit to the repo"
5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

I like that is free at entry level so you can build your entire pipeline and only when you need more performance you need to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

Learning curve, it is difficult at first to integrate everything and make it work. After that you always feel that the effort pay off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool I rarely have to think about"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

The integration with github along with the configuration files that can be committed to git make this a tool I don't have to worry about configuring when setting up new projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

The lack of an overall dashboard for an overall view of the stats for builds across the organisation. Also a team level view for owned repository based on code owner files would be useful for meta analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I enjoy working with this tool"
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

You can easily figure out which step is blocking the build since you can see details of the whole process. We have notifications in Slack when our Selenium tests are failing which makes more eyes dig into the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

There is always something to improve and to make debugging process easier and faster. Of course, improving velocity will be a great lift and will make CI processes more pleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customisable, quick and intuative CI Platform."
4/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

The amount of customisation you can do is top notch. In a fully customisable YAML file that doesnt feel clunky.

The UI & UX is leagues above others such as Jenkins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

However, I am not a fan sometimes of its speed. Whilst this is the issue with most CI platforms & is also down to build times, the speed in which the web/app could load could be better slightly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to setup CI/CD"
5/5
What do you like best about CircleCI?

CircleCI integrates directly with version control systems, like Github and Bitbucket, and validates code changes in real time. CircleCi UI is easy to navigate to quickly view projects and pipeline status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CircleCI?

It can be challenging for first-time users to set up, but once you get going easy to navigate. Would be nice to have a GUI to edit the workflows.

When a new project is set up, under the insights tab it may not contain any data, so perhaps add a guide on how easy it may be to add insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
