Travis hasn't let me down yet. This services handles more than 90% of our builds.
Pros
Travis does a few things really well:
1. Documentation - the documentation is extensive and complete, and one never has the feeling that there are "hidden features" that only the power users know about.
2. Speed - waiting for more than a few seconds for a build to start is extremely rare.
3. Deploy integrations - builds can be deployed to a set of services easily. This is probably the easiest way to set up continuous deployment if you're on a tight budget.
Cons
The build environment can be somewhat restrictive, forcing one to choose language-specific base images and not giving access to the underlying VM.

Good experience - got hooked on the free trial, but it's time to move on as its costing an arm & a leg.
Pros
I really like Travis CI, creating .travis.yml files is easy enough & I love the interface for seeing my build progress. That said I'll be moving off of this platform very shortly.
Cons
The cost is insane - Azure DevOps offers pipelines for free, my AWS sites (5 of them) cost less to host than my Travis CI subscription, AWS has a DevOps implementation that is about $15/mo - even if Travis CI was at $20-$25/mo I would consider it as a solution.
Reasons for Switching to Travis CI
I was working through a tutorial on AWS & this was offered as the CI / CD solution, since the trial was free I opted for it. Now that my project is in production though this pricing is my highest cost service & needs to be addressed.- Industry: Computer Software

We see it here as less and less professional. It started with a lot of time to get new images, the problem of running after 4PM (Berlin time), the cache for ccache that suddenly disappear (which makes us use even more credits, obviously), and we are missing more and more CD.
It really feels as if, after Travis was bought, that the board decided to "cash in" money. You even need to pay credits now for OSS? How is that supporting it?
Pros
I liked the ease to setup a new project with it, once you know how to get around the product.
Cons
For sure this new price plan, that was announced a day *after* it was put in place (seriously?).
It costs us more than half of the credits to make just one build. The price per minute is just insane. I can have more workers and unlimited build times with Azure DevOps, for about the same amount of money of just the subscription alone (so not counting those Travis add-ons).
When the credits are done, then the CI will just block. You need to close and reopen the PR. Problem is that we have other GitHub integrations, so this makes the process really painful.

Travis builds, tests and deploys our software to staging and production environments. It is immensely useful, and critical to our software development pipeline.
Pros
Generally very reliable, customizable, extensible. Easy to debug. Is a workhorse.
Cons
Sometimes you'll get builds that won't debug, or builds stuck in the queue forever. This is generally because of some piece of travis infrastructure that has suddenly stopped, but there are no notifications, nor status indications that anything is wrong. Customer service can take the better part of a week to respond, or not at all.

As I'm part of multiple orgs, it's hard to know which credits are spent where. Also, the authorization mecanism is not that clear: I don't know exactly what travis sees from my github infos.

We started using Travis in September 2016. Over the years we used it for both CI and CD pipelines for most of our applications - we had about 300 pipelines. For many years it was a truly great service. Now days we're trying to move away as fast as we can.
Pros
Worked like charm years ago and did everything we ever wanted to. Neat debugging feature.
Cons
In past 2 years Travis is dying in painful agony. The service is unreliable, sometimes not working for days. Status page is not updated at all. Support is non-existent - time to first response to an issue is a month now. Out of about 20 issues we raised in past year, not a single one was resolved.

Effective continuous integration on the cloud

Travis CI helped my teams build continuous integration pipelines running on Github projects extremely easy and rapid.
Pros
Travis CI is the go-to continuous integration tool for open source projects thanks to its tight integration with Github. It provides a great set of tools on the cloud for integrating existing and new Github projects, configuring their build parameters and running builds based on various Github events such as the opening of pull requests which gives an unprecedented level of control to project leads on how code is merged in to projects.
Cons
Travis is a bit complex to integrate with version control platforms other than Github. Configuration to make it work with other platforms such as private GitLab servers can be tricky.

I have only used Travis CI on Github repositories so I am not sure how it works with other code hosting providers. In Github, It works like a charm.
Pros
Travis CI is easy to use, it has a nice and easy user interface that gets you started quickly.
Travis CI is well documented which makes onboarding easy.
Some of my associates thought that when you have private repositories, you have to pay to use it. I have been using it with my private repositories. If before you had to pay, now things have changed. It would be nice to help support the product though so that development can go on. The servers also require funds to run.
Cons
Everything is perfect as per now. I have not come across any issues.

Great tool for CI/CD
Reviewed on 19/01/2023
Pros
Travis CI can be easily connected to a GitHub repository, making it easy to automate builds and deployments and guarantee the quality of the code with tests. It also has a big community that helps troubleshoot any issue.
Cons
Travis CI does not offer dedicated build environments for the builds, which means that the builds are impacted by other builds running on the same shared infrastructure.

We are using Travis CI mostly for our products that have a PHP backend and a Angular PWA application. We are prerendering all pages in our CI process which, for some reason got really slow in the last 12-24 month. I dont know if Travis CI is limiting external HTTP requests (which we rely on to get the content to render). For example a project with 500 subpages takes 30minutes to render. We already checked our Backend endpoints and these are not the limiting factor. Running is locally is has a built time for around 5-6 minutes.
Pros
I like the ease of deployments especially with multi-step-deploys of websites where the backend and frontend should be in sync.
Cons
Only thing I need to complain is the pricing. For a small design and development agency like us the price of the "concurrent job"-based plan is way too expensive while our current credit-based plan (which i'm happy that this exist) is very often exceeded due to the nature of our deployments.

Honestly I can't say it is better than jenkins. I assume for the compay not having to deal with management and updates is an advantage, but from a user point of view is more or less the same thing. And jenkins blueocean looks way better.
Pros
It works. Does what I expected. Not a fan.
Cons
UI has lots of room for improvemente. As an example
Logs screens are annoying, because the scroll hides the header. I only want to scroll the log , not the full screen.
When I hover over a build I see a message like 'build #123 passed'. The build number does not tell me anything, it would way better to see the author and the message of the commit, it will save me a click
Everywhere you have a commit you should see a tooltip with author/message, not just the link to github

Horrible. Broken promises. Unresponsive support. Will not use it, and I will aggressively move anyone I collaborate with off Travis as quickly as possible. Travis breaking the open-source infrastructure has already cost me days if not weeks of additional work.
Pros
Before Travis got bought out and reneged on their promise to support open-source software, it was a cornerstone of my open source work. Alas, in its current form, I wouldn't touch Travis CI with a 10-foot pole. The only reason I still interact with it at all is that one of those projects is specifically for deploying documentation via Travis. As soon as I can move the project in a new direction, I'll be done with Travis for good.
Cons
Travis broke their promise of supporting Open Source with free CI service. I requested OSS credits months ago and got no reply. It's not that the paid tiers are prohibitively expensive. In principle, I might be able to expense CI costs. However, Travis' actions have eroded any and all trust I might have had in them, so I would not do business with them at any level

I hate using it, I never would have recommended it, I want our team off it as soon as possible but the one person that set it up refuses to look at anything else and has the bosses ear. So I'm stuck with this nightmare of a build system that is just AWFUL
Pros
Nothing... I hate this platform. Gitlab is way better for CI/CD
Cons
Everything, but mostly, debugging build issues and that build environments aren't cached from build to build and have to be completely rebuilt every time and for no reason seem to fail for random issues. Like not being able to download a dependency. Or failing to deploy to github releases without an helpful error messages. Or worse, saying you did deploy, but then the package is nowhere to be found, and there is no way to debug this

I like that it gives a pride option :D
checking previous builds, who issues them and if the failed/passed is very nice.
for the most part is is smooth and just does its job.
Cons
finding out why a build failed is sometimes very annoying.
scrolling a huge page of logs is not smooth (and maybe some better segmenting options there could be useful)
we have a weekly recurring job that fails for linting reasons (but we still need it to run to get sonarQube coverage, idk if this is on us for bad implementation) but then who ever deployed last they get an email saying that the build failed. and we can only opt in or out from the whole thing and not just that type of builds.

Pros
Travis CI is great when it works. I can develop, pass my local tests, then push to github, etc and Travis CI will make sure that my tests pass on a variety of different virtual machines. That is great.
I also like the rainbow flags.
Cons
I am perpetually confused when things break. On the good side there is fairly extensive documentation. However, a lot of times it is still chewing gum and duct tape. Big sticking point is interacting with services like coverage and code quality tools.
I also never quite figured out what the deal was when they switched from Travis.org for open source accounts to travis.com. The transition was super janky, and I still have projects that I think are in the old system, despite trying to bulk transfer all of them.
