CircleCI – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

CircleCI is highly configurable for many different types of workflows. We rely on CircleCI for continuous deployment. Our tests automatically run and deploy code to the correct environment depending on the branch it's pushed to. It's also generally reliable these days. Reliability was an issue for us a few years ago but those issues are mostly gone now.

Nachteile

Since CircleCI is highly configurable it can also be difficult to build out a custom flow that works the way you need it to. We spent more time than we wanted to getting our automated deployment system set up.

Vorteile

CircleCI does everything we want in a CI product, and it works in the way that we want to use it (which is visiting the CircleCI user interface as little as possible). It offers very solid integrations with other services (such as Slack and GitHub) and it works well for managing an entire team's projects without getting too cluttered.

Nachteile

It can be slow. Especially if you don't have a lot of parallelism, but even sometimes if you do, it can take a couple of minutes just to deploy minor changes sometimes. This isn't much of a problem in reality, it just means you might need a different approach to your deployment process (one that doesn't require you to sit and wait for CircleCI to run before you move on).

Vorteile

It's easy to integrate most of the industry products with CircleCI, including tools used for Quality and Security. You only need some level of programming to get through the integration process. It works well for our model and we do not need the full DevOps suite to use Circle CI

Nachteile

There is nothing to dislike about this product.

Vorteile

-Docker support is great when using container based builds
-Competitive pricing and free tier
-Snappy / Responsive UI

Nachteile

-2.0 is missing features in 1.0
-Poor slack notification support
-yml format is strange. More complex commands can be very ugly

Vorteile

The great configurational freedom to the user makes it suitable for any and all kinds of applications. The step by step view provided is very helpful UI to track the whole process. The YML templates make it very easy to set up and the git configuration part is very well documented and just a few steps can make it work.

Nachteile

The pricing of the tool is a bit on the higher side compared to its competitors. Docker support is not complete.

Vorteile

Easy to manage pipelines and deployment to multiple servers and to manage versions from GitHub. Easy to restart pipelines or particular deployments.

Nachteile

New UI feels less intuitive than the old one, but does work well. Sometimes errors can be hard to track down, but think that may be our configuration / setup rather than CircleCI itself.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to see failed tests and to re-run the test suite, if needed.

Nachteile

I don't have any problems using CircleCI -- sometimes the test suites take a long time to run, but I think that has more to do with how robust our test suite is than anything to do with CircleCI.

Vorteile

I am using CircleCI within many projects and I like it - its feature-rich, supports every usecase we need and from my perspective is absolutely sufficient as CI/CD tool for projects I was working on. It also has free plan which could be enough for smaller teams or projects.

Nachteile

Not very often, but still, sometimes an inexplicable black magic happens and it requires a bit of debugging and reconfiguring of the project or the CircleCI.

Vorteile

It provides many useful features, and I can use most of them with a free plan.
Customer service is also excellent.

Nachteile

'Workflows' is useful, but it can not be tested locally by its nature.

Vorteile

Circle CI is a very nice CI tools, especially if you need to build on Apple devices

Nachteile

It's a bit pricy regarding other service that can be opensource

Vorteile

Fast, seamlessly, easy to implement.
Well documented.
Move from 1.0 to 2.0 was a piece of cake with a ton of improvements.

Nachteile

We are still fighting to get docker-compose to support cache but we know how hard is to enable caching on docker layers.

Vorteile

It let's you automate continuos integration fairly easy by just using a YML file. You can setup many different stages and rules for these stages to have different development environments. It's fairly easy to learn and implement. It integrates very well with Github.

Nachteile

Have seen a few downtimes in the last couple of months.

Vorteile

CircleCI is a very good tool that comes with a very nice UI. In addition it is pretty intuitive to use.

Nachteile

Maybe the free plan could be enhanced for young start-ups as they often try to cut costs everywhere.

Vorteile

Easy to configure via a YAML file
Sends email notifications without the use of external services
Not only runs our tests, but also triggers our deployments

Nachteile

Proactive communication about updates and breaking changes
Questions to account rep can sometimes take too long (for us -- > 1 day) to respond

Vorteile

The UI and integration is easy and very straight forward. Were able to get builds going in a couple hours.

Nachteile

When picking a CI to use for our business we tried a lot of the big names and CircleCi was great except for the price point for how fast the builds were. Alternatives like Strider gave CircleCi a bad taste.

Vorteile

This is my first experience using a CI software tool, and it's AMAZING. Tools that automate the workflow of code deployment gives a lot of

Nachteile

Not too much of a problem, but there's somewhat of a learning curve to set up your environment. Took me a few days to educate myself in the specifics, such as caching, jobs, workers etc.

Vorteile

Fast and resilient, especially when the release of version 2.0, we are able to benefit from docker layers caching..our build time improved by 70%.

Nachteile

sometimes it goes crazy especially in service discoveries since we are using docker compose to build and orchestrate ci env.

Vorteile

- Workflows is great tool for enabling parallel tasks
- deep customization for cache controls
- easily introduced deploy workflows

Nachteile

- config file tends to get verbose and too long ( I want to have some ways to separate concerns among some jobs)

Vorteile

The software works great, is fast, and extremely easy to use.

Nachteile

None, but I believe paid options could be less expensive

Vorteile

It's an excellent unobtrusive CI that keeps developers writing software rather than waiting for tests to finish. It can quickly run through thousands of tests and send alerts once complete. The UI is great and easy to use.

Nachteile

The config is probably the worst of the cloud CI software.

Vorteile

Robust, easy to use, great documentation, great feature set even on a free plan with sizable 1,500 build minutes per month (quite a lot for smaller projects).

Nachteile

As you grow, cost rises quite rapidly as well, especially if you require multiple containers run in parallel.

Vorteile

Multi-architecture builds, full Docker support, and streamlined declarative pipeline config made me feel right at home!

Nachteile

Could use a better comparative analysis marketing doc to explain differences from folks coming from Travis-CI to better understand the advantages.

Vorteile

Easy to start, good integration with GitHub, free for small and open-source projects.

Nachteile

The pricing is a bit higher compared to its competitors.

Vorteile

Support for OSX environment and Docker platform, very fast builds, advanced cache, up to date software. Web UI is not so bad, but i love the simplicity and configuration possibilities, that eg. Semaphore CI provides

Vorteile

Very fast time to start on builds and you can pay for powerful machines to get your builds done faster. Clever use of containers. Shareable configuration snippets using Orbs.

Nachteile

Some parts of web UI don't seem to attempt to hide/reduce complexity and instead seem to try to impress you with all the builds you have running.

Vorteile

I love that this software is fast, very reliable and integrates perfectly with all the tools modern software developers use.

Nachteile

It can be a little slow for medium to big test suites, if you don't add enough parallelism (which comes at a price, of course).

Vorteile

CircleCI is very valuable component in delivering analytical work. It makes the whole process of deployment seamless. Its integration with other components is also very helpful.

Nachteile

CircleCI has no cons as such, it needs some good scripting and coding skills to work with it but for the features it provides it should not be an issue

Vorteile

Very reliable service with plenty of customisation options for your CI pipelines. Easy GitHub integration makes connecting repositories to pipelines a piece of cake.

Nachteile

The UI is nice but could have been a little simpler for CI noobs to get started quickly.

Vorteile

We use CircleCi, extensively, for various suites of Cypress tests for many repos as part of our PR process and for scheduled test runs. It has been working great as there are may orbs that allow use to use the best of CircleCi.

Nachteile

None so far with the user level I have experienced.

Vorteile

Circle CI offers so much control over how to test, build and deploy code. Workflows make it easy to automate CI/CD jobs in workflows organized in clearly defined steps that trigger concurrently or depend one job to trigger before another can be executed. I love how the interface offers a graphical user interface that clearly shows the different stages or steps the build process goes through and follow to whichever job is failing the build

Nachteile

The configuration can take time to set up with some config files growing up to about 200 lines of code. But fortunately circle ci offers a way to reduce repeating code while using aliases and executors

Vorteile

Automatically checks my PR on github when I add commits. It's useful to make sure my code works and doesn't have errors.

Nachteile

It's kind of overwhelming because it's packed with features.

Vorteile

CircleCI is a easy to use solution for building and deploying your projects. It support concurrency and has unlimited build time in most plans

Nachteile

If you need to build on MacOS, you'll need to pay a high price and get limited build time. This makes the solution less desirable than its competitors.

Vorteile

The best feature that CircleCI offers is the low set-up integration with GitHub allowing me to start using it in a few minutes.

Nachteile

I don't think there is anything in particular that I dislike about CircleCI, maybe the price could be a bit better?

Vorteile

Easy to set up, fast, pleasant UI and UX. Tight github integration is critical for teams that move fast.

Nachteile

No .NET support. By not having windows support there are projects that cannot leverage CircleCI and must move to an alternative.

Vorteile

We've been on the free plan for a few months now and it's been great. Very flexible and customizable. Builds are much faster than my previous CI.

Nachteile

User interface is a bit overcomplicated IMO.

Vorteile

It offers very solid integrations with other services (such as Slack and GitHub) and it works well for managing an entire team's projects without getting too cluttered. Minimal interaction with user interface to get things done

Nachteile

It would also be great to be able to specify which docker images are cached on all executors.
it can take a couple of minutes just to deploy minor changes sometimes.

Vorteile

A server less platform for managing CI which is great compared to Jenkins for example

Lots of modules you can easily use

Regular YAML spec

Nachteile

A bit cumbersome to begin creating a new pipeline compared to something like Github Actions

Vorteile

It does everything you would expect from a continuous integration tool and everything in the cloud, being even better.

Nachteile

I did not used the tool for much time for having any complaints, when i researched and used the tool i found it satisfactory.

Vorteile

Using this one can post large amount of data and hides its personal data from unauthorized access. It is well accepted global tool and integrates well with existing cloud services. Docker and other services also integrates well.

Nachteile

Writing the code in YAML is required which you have to learn and get familiarity to start working with this tool. Documentation is documented very badly.

Vorteile

CircleCI provides a significant benefit in its user-friendly nature and straightforwardness, allowing developers to easily create, manage, and tailor their workflows through a simplified and intuitive interface that is effortless to set up and use.

Nachteile

Great software overall, liked the ease of use.

Vorteile

CircleCI is easy to configure and supports integration with majority of tools and services. It have a very nice user interface and allow us to access our build so that it helps and saves time in debugging.

Nachteile

Although it saves time in many other thing but we have no control on how much cpu time and resources it will consume. It also lacks a lit bit in performance and is slow compare to others.
