CircleCI Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
senior technical consultant UI at Adobe4.5I highly recommend CircleCI for its excellent automation of GitHub to AWS deployments, saving much time and manual effort. It's stable, scalable, and easy to set up, surpassing Jenkins, though its documentation needs simplification.
DevOps Engineer at Elevenxcapital3.5I use CircleCI to build multi-arch Docker images, push to ECR, and deploy to Kubernetes across branches, with Slack alerts. Parallel jobs and SaaS simplicity speed CI/CD and scale well, but it’s expensive and YAML configs get complex.
Managing Technical Consultant - Solution Architect at NTT DATA3.0I've used CircleCI for five years to automate CI/CD pipelines, benefiting from its speed, flexibility, and dashboards, but I find pricing unclear and see room for AI-driven YAML generation and improved security and job management.
Open Shift Engineer at Dhanyaayai enterprise private limited4.5I use CircleCI for automated testing, CI/CD, and microservices orchestration due to its ease of use and YAML configuration, significantly boosting productivity and accelerating time to market. However, I believe it needs improved caching and better orb utilization to further enhance its value.
SRE coordinator at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees3.0I’ve used CircleCI for two years as our main deployment pipeline due to its strong GitHub integration, but its Orbs are complex, and while stable and scalable, it’s costly and hasn’t shown clear ROI yet.
SRE at Akamai4.0I've used CircleCI for about a year to build and deploy our GoLang application on AWS. It's stable, scalable, and fast, with helpful modules and workflows. The documentation is solid, and the free tier met our needs.
Cloud Engineering and Automation Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees4.0I use CircleCI for CI/CD, valuing its user-friendliness, GitHub integration, and multi-stage pipelines, surpassing Jenkins. It greatly improved efficiency and reduced manual effort. More cloud integrations and security features are desired, but its strong ROI is clear.
Chief Technology Officer at Kyberlife0.5CircleCI offers valuable continuous integration and delivery features but has issues, including connectivity problems with cloud resources, inadequate support, billing confusion, and lack of transparency in credit usage, making it challenging to manage and track expenses effectively.
