Overall Satisfaction with CircleCI

We've used CircleCI for the automation of build and test for smaller scale projects, in combination with another set of tools for continual deployment, hosting and visual testing. CircleCI is a great interface for viewing and managing automated jobs and workflows, and has made the process of CI more accessible for the team as a whole.
  • Simple integration with the provided YAML template
  • Quick setup with Git repos
  • Easy to add new jobs
  • Quick integration with related visual testing tools
  • Limited options on free plan
  • Sometimes buggy when modifying jobs
  • Jump between new and old UI
  • We're able to catch regressions and build errors ahead of deployment.
  • Quick integration
  • Quick iteration
CircleCI seemed to have a quicker setup than other similar products, with a good integration with GitHub repos. Projects are quick and easy to set up within the UI, and workflows can then be created off the back of those fairly intuitively. Clever interpretation of commit messages can also be used to skip jobs during setup when needed.
I have not been in touch with customer support, and as such am not able to rate this aspect of CircleCI.

Would you buy CircleCI again?

Great for quick setup of new projects, but may not be the most suitable to large scale production apps (not from experience, but the level of detail may not be sufficient - at least on the free tier).
