It's quick, easy to set up, and I like it. There are some usability fixes that are needed around user maangement, but otherwise, it's great! And works with all of the languages I use out of the box, and with no configuration.
Pros
CircleCI was great and easy to set up. It allows me to see what's going on with all of my builds quickly and in real time.
Cons
The user management is not very good. I have 5 contributors to a repo, and I can only add two of them as users. I can't even add users that aren't a contributor to the repo. My boss, my QA people, and my PMs can't see anything that's happening in the platform.

Some quirks but overall it's a product we rely on and use every day
Reviewed on 29/09/2020
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

The right CI system for our DevOps

We used this CI/CD management software to deliver the products as fast as we can to test the water (product-market fit, validation...), then iterate, and pivoting quickly if needed. It's a good tool to do all of that.
Pros
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...
Cons
The software lacks these features: Chat/Messaging, Authentication and Assignment Management.

CircleCI is crucial to what we're doing and it's powerful. I've enjoyed using it for awhile now.

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

I love CI about as much as Circle does
Reviewed on 30/10/2017
Pros
The simplicity of configuration is unparalleled. We use CI on new projects day one. The ease of use, and setup, is definitely what keeps us coming back.
Cons
Lack of tools for multi project repos. We would love to keep our front and back-end code together in one repo while splitting the CI for them. So, it'd be great if we could run two builds separately based on the same repo.
