What do you like best about PHPCI?

I setup PHPCI on my local 'cloud' (yes, I run my own cloud). It was fairly straightforward to setup. Once I got it up and going it took me a while to get an actual test to pass. I integrated with GitHub and the build result came out nicely, but the tests failed. As I didn't have a clear understanding of how PHPCI performed the actual unit tests, it took me a while to figure out what caused the failure. Regardless, it is now up an running nicely, and has been stable for weeks. I'd recommend at least giving PHPCI a try.

* Clean smooth interface

* YAML driven testing

* Awesome integration with YAML

* GitHub integration

* Built in composer

Basically, once I got the product up and running I was quite happy with it. It does continuous integration testing quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PHPCI?

* Setup configuration largely in PHP code

* Login section seemed to have trouble - I removed it.

* Currently, this is not a deployment utility.

* Updating it might be fun... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PHPCI:

Only use PHPCI for PHP.

Only use it if the person maintaining the server knows php.

Only use PHPCI if you want to use the correct tool (php for php integration),

Do not use it for deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PHPCI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Open Source Continuous integration without Jenkins. It works, I don't have to run Java - it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
