Overall Satisfaction with CircleCI
At the moment, Circle is used across the company to make continuous integration and continuous delivery for the mobile native applications. Circle went to solve us the problem of have a dynamic and easy-to-use cloud-based continuous integration and delivery for mobile, without the maintenance cost of the resources and using only for the computing use.
- Jobs Configuration: I think that the configuration way of Circle CI is very simple and useful. You only have to add an YAML file in your Git repository root and add some tasks inside it.
- Environment Variables Encryption: The way to encrypt sensible data, for example tokens or credentials, is very simple and secure.
- The compute credit cost is cheap: You don't need a large amount of money to start using Circle.
- Cost per user: The cost per user is very high.
- UI: The UI is not as intuitive as I need. If you have a lot of applications enabled, it's a bit difficult to find in the home page the build which you're looking for.
- The billing and usage information: It's a feature that was enabled in 2019 June. But it's not specific to any place, and the information of June is incomplete.
- Positive: Circle helped us to make a fast release process of our native based application and reduced our time to market.
- Positive: Circle helps us avoiding the time and money maintenance cost of a release process system.
- Negative: The cost per user and billing it per month make it a bit difficult to make the payments on time if you are working in a big company with a lot of payment processes.
