CircleCI

Avantages

As any Continuous Integration tool it does what it should do. Builds and runs. Hard to say what's the most because haven't used other CI tools but CircleCI does what's expected and there was no thoughts about changing to other tools. So I would recommend using it.

Inconvénients

The tutorials are not yet clear. They don't lead from start to workable CI.

Avantages

Most complete and most used among the developer community I know

Inconvénients

For large teams the price is a little expensive

Avantages

These features helped us with fixing issues and shipping more: Configuration Management, Build Log and Approval Workflow.
All of that made our workplace headache-free and reduce the number of sleepless nights for our developers...

Inconvénients

The software lacks these features: Chat/Messaging, Authentication and Assignment Management.

Pourquoi choisir CircleCI 

Logiciel antérieur 

Avantages

automated testing, building and deploying really helped or project in reaching maximum velocity for the scrum teams

Inconvénients

What I least like about Circle CI is the slow learning curve for some of the programmers so that they are able to make a build and deploy script themselves

Avantages

generous free plans for open source projects
easy to set up
plenty of features
plenty of customization
runs quick

Inconvénients

Additional containers are a bit pricey. There are other services offering similar products at much lower prices.

Avantages

CircleCI takes away the need to fiddle with infrastructure and lets teams focus strictly on CI and CD. It's enjoyable to use, and helps integrate with multiple technologies in order to keep everything efficiently connected.

Inconvénients

I think the only con is that it can get quite expensive fast, and when you need parallelism for tests then cost can get high quickly.

Avantages

Awesome UI/UX. Excellent customer service support and ease of use. There is also a constant update on the product based on feedback which is not common with most products.

Inconvénients

The developer community of Circle CI is not so strong compared to some other product. The have taken feedback on this and are already improving it.

Avantages

I use the free version and it is very good software. You can download CircleCI to your local machine by using docker and then run the test on local before committing your code.

Inconvénients

Documentation needs a bit of work. So far so good, but needs more explanation about how to set it up on a certain framework

Avantages

Ease of use and the extensibility of having your tests ran upon pushing without having to configure the .yml file to find tests.

Inconvénients

The biggest con of the software would have to be the initial documentation on how to set up. This can get kind of confusing.

Avantages

- Integration with GitHub and Slack
- Automation of several types of tests (schema validation, integration, unit tests, etc)
- Easy to monitor the results of tests while they're still running

Inconvénients

Perhaps due to the high volume of simultaneous users, sometimes it would be faster to run tests locally rather than on circleci

Avantages

Simplicity of use, integrations and features make CircleCI one of the best CI systems in existence

Inconvénients

Pricing goes really high when you need to do some custom solution, like have self-hosted runners

Avantages

It’s test driven environment makes development and testing much easier. Integration is also easy with just one config file.

Inconvénients

On free plan, the options available are very less when compared to other alternatives.

Avantages

Circle CI is being trusted by FB for React, and Fastlane. So if it works for them I think that is a great testament to it.

Inconvénients

Doesn't allow as many languages and environments out of the box as Travis CI does.

Avantages

Realy fast, and requires almost none configuration to get going, I didn't know much about it at the start, but then o learned a lot very fast.

Inconvénients

People do not get its importance at first, it's a real pain to make them understand why should them to spend time on this sort of thing.

Avantages

Circle CI is the best Continuous integration platform that I have ever used. It is fast and reliable, and it allows me to set up different tests for projects and have them run in an automated manner. The interface is clean and intuitive, which has made it a breeze to get started with and learn the ropes with this tool!

Inconvénients

It makes developer life so much easy. So it's 100% recommended . You will never regret of using it.

Avantages

The flexibility of configuring build environments for various technologies stacks and needs is key. Circle CI provides some getting started assistance through documentation and tooling, and once you’re past that there really is very little in terms of constraints holding you back from near infinite flexibility. It’s a great service!

Inconvénients

The threshold of minimum knowledge required to get started is a bit higher than some of the competitors.

Avantages

Easy to use and mac build system. Docker integration

Inconvénients

User system. Only github and sometimes that is a struggle

Avantages

It's powerful, it's got lots of features, and the customization is limitless. CircleCI improves the developer experience many times over. It's also fairly reliable, and makes handling a large project simpler.

Inconvénients

It can go down sometimes, debugging can be a bit hard and cryptic. Support is also fairly lackluster.

Pourquoi passer à CircleCI

Avantages

CircleCI is a great software for provisioning software or applications before publishing them on the production environment. It speeds up our provisioning process and allows us to debug our applications really well! Saved us a lot of time so we can work on something better!

Inconvénients

The pricing of concurrent jobs and containers is too high, I can set up one myself using other hosting providers at a way cheaper price.

Avantages

It is easy to setup. It can do very fast parallel testing. I find UI of it clear and easy to use. it provide integration of many app like GitHub. it supports 8 languages and 16 databases and it also supports Headless browser.

Inconvénients

it Does not cache docker images. Docker is way outdated on the VM provided. Other than that i don't find any problem with it. I think it is best

Avantages

CircleCI is great for doing pipelines and integrating commits from each member of our teams. Great error reporting helps identify errors right away.

Inconvénients

Their mobile experience needs improvement. Not everything is available on their mobile app and a computer is required for some tasks.

Avantages

Compared to some other build systems such as Jenkins, CircleCI has a much better, more modern UI. It's easy to do the most common tasks, such as check on a failed build, or restart a build.

Inconvénients

Some setup tasks involved in creating a build or modifying its configuration could be easier, but this was never a hindrance to me using the app.

Avantages

It helps me to analyze all build quickly in real time. It is pretty simple to configure, setup and use. It has a pretty good integration with various remote repositories and it can run tests and give you results.

Inconvénients

The learning curve is steep for some developers. It has two versions of the software, which sometimes makes it difficult to manage.

Avantages

Love this software we use it for automated unit test checks before deploying and it works great!

Inconvénients

Honestly, I don't have anything in particular that I disliked, you guys have a great product

Avantages

Fully integrated with docker and because everything is moving to containers (or should be for scalability) this is huge for us. Tests can run automatically after pushing commits help identify problems before our clients would find them. The earlier you find a bug the cheaper its costs you in the end.
