CircleCI Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
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.
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.
Site Reliability Engineer Ii at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I'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.
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.
Senior Engineer at Affinidi3.5We use CircleCI for generic integration and pipeline tasks, seamlessly integrating with tools like GitLab. Although its pricing could improve, future releases may offer visualization integration options. It efficiently meets our business requirements, including incident management integration.
