Apache Maven vs Travis CI

• Facilitates build processes: through the use of POM files and plugins, this feature helps developers focus less on the tedious mechanical details of project implementation.
• Well organized: users are able to locate their project information easily, whether it's dependencies, test reports, etc.
• Catalyzes process for making updates and migrations: minimal time is needed for users to make changes to their project based on new installations, etc.

• It's simple and easy to get started (it can detect the language being used based on build configuration files like a Maven pom.xml).
• It's free (as in beer) for open source projects.
• It has a responsive staff (you can file issues on GitHub to ask for new languages or packages to be supported, and the turnaround time isn't too bad for the free offering).
• The user interface is beautiful and easy-to-use, including features like live-tailing in-progress builds.
• It supports specifying private environment variables and encrypted credentials, so that you can safely automate deployments (for example, pushing built docker images to DockerHub).

• It only supports Linux and OS X, so other vendors (like AppVeyor) have to be used for Windows support.
• The build matrices can be difficult to set up in the travis.yaml file.
• Build queues can be long sometimes, since the open source offering has limited infrastructure. This problem does not affect the commercial offering, however.
• Builds are limited to various versions of OS X and Ubuntu; other operating systems can be used for teh build via the Docker support.
