CircleCI is great!
What do you like best about the product?
Easily to config (just drop a file in your Github repo, and it will run everytime)
What do you dislike about the product?
We're using docker, and currently it doesn't support caching for layers. I know that this is a WIP, but... :D
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CircleCI to compile our statics and it lowed our load CPU on deployment time

Gets the job done in the least amount of fuss possible
What do you like best about the product?
Circle ci makes configuring the integration server a snap - in most cases, a simple yml file with minimal changes between projects gets our android apps under CI easily!
What do you dislike about the product?
No one enjoys the one-off cases where the CI environment does not support the language features or runtime environment required to run the test suite!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Circle on most of our production android consulting projects! CI gives us confidence our projects conform to our client's expectations.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration, reliable service. Good customer communications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much-- We really haven't had any issues with the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration, build visibility
Great for small teams, still trying to scale for big ones!
What do you like best about the product?
Configuring is easy and fast. You'll be able to have some flexibility right from the start.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't scale well when you're running lots of builds or have lots of moving parts. Builds sometimes can take more than 40 minutes depending on how busy the tree is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having circleci around to run our tests and making sure everything is sane is helpful.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup and use. I like drilling down to the branch level and seeing the history of build successes/failures for that branch.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had issues with the dashboard UI being sluggish, using lots of resources in Firefox 51.0.1 and sometimes the UI doesn't stop loading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous integration and making sure all tests pass before a deploy.
Works great for small sized team of up to 25 engineers
What do you like best about the product?
Basically the easiest thing to get started on, aside from Travis.
The iOS testing ability is great too.
Pricing is clear, and dynamic, you can change containers up and down every hour.
Performance is good, if you know how to parallelize and script things.
Artifact retention is great.
Awesome github integration.

What do you dislike about the product?
Had some real downtimes over the last 16 months, pretty disappointed when the dev team got stuck.
Random flakiness with the container dying for no reason, had to manually rebuild.
Paralleilization infrastructure is not great compared to TravisCI, it locks containers into stages and doesn't work like a fluid work queue.
Lack of matrix build support means it can't support large scale projects.

Trying to keep our engineering team productive and shipping code quickly.
Easy to get started and flexible enough.

Better than the rest
What do you like best about the product?
Circle integrates easily into github. Circle also allow us to split up our tests across 16 instances which saves us a lot of time. We don't have to worry about the details of CI, which allows my team to focus more on delivery.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is often instability and its not always clear what the problems are. We often find that versions of things are updated without us knowing. Because we rely so heavily on circleci, when its down or has problems we are completely blocked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to roll our own CI using Jenkins and we were not happy with having to deal with upgrades and maintenance of the CI. We no longer have to worry about the details.
We use CI for development and delivery. We deploy 20+ times a day (or as needed)... circle is the center of our continuous delivery.

CircleCI is a huge help to quickly bootstrap any project with Continuous Integration
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is able to configure build automatically for most popular stacks like Java, Python, Node.js, etc.
At the same time, custom configuration can be added easily any time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Docker support isn't great, but they're trying to fix it with CircleCI 2.0 (currently in beta).
Outages happen (but rarely) and it's really hard to understand why some of the builds are suddenly slow.

We love CircleCI
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, pretty reliable, pretty customizable
What do you dislike about the product?
We think the dependency caching/cache restoring is slow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable testing, continuous integration
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get dockerized
Good for small to medium sized projects, not ideal for large projects with artifacts to deploy
What do you like best about the product?
CircleCI is easy to set-up. It typically automatically can detect the best way to run most types of projects -- both Ruby on Rails and Java.
What do you dislike about the product?
CircleCI makes it difficult to get a comprehensive view of what tests are running vs. what tests have run on each branch or remote. Compared to other tools I've used -- like TeamCity -- It feels like you really have to go searching to understand what's happening with your builds. It's not easy to see in one place what builds are in the queue, what the success vs. failure trend has been over several builds, or even to understand what builds have run longer than others or why. In addition, CircleCI is not as flexible when it comes to dependencies between projects, or using CircleCI to perform automated deployments. Finally, my biggest concern is that CircleCI seems to perform slowly -- it feels very slow and clunky to go from screen to screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a way to run automated unit tests for all of our projects without having to maintain our own CI servers. CircleCI handles all the infrastructure so we don't have to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider whether you really need a cloud-based option, or if you would be fine with maintaining your own install. There are other options -- TeamCity, for example -- that are more robust and free for the same size projects that CircleCI is aimed at.
Almost all CI software gets more expensive when you need more build agents, and CircleCI is no exception. Consider the value you're getting when you add more agents on CircleCI vs spending a similar amount of money on other options that are more flexible that have the trade-off of requiring you to maintain your own install.
