Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers continuous integration and continuous delivery.""Some of the most valuable features include container-based builds, integration with Bit Bucket and being able to store artifacts.""The automation workflow in CircleCI related to third-party applications is very good and allows standardization of applications.""The ability to automate the build process in a seamless way and run workflows effortlessly. It supports parallel builds so it can scale well. Also, it covers the basics of any build and integration tool, including email notifications (especially when tests are fixed), project insights, etc.""Enables us to detect exactly which build failed and why, and to push multiple builds to our production environment at a very fast rate.""It's a stable product."

"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."

More Harness Pros →

Cons
"Billing is a mess.""Integration with Microsoft Azure is one area for improvement. Azure is growing in its user base, and supports various cloud infrastructure components such as Service Fabric, App Service, etc. Some of Azure’s deployment models (like Kudu) require a steep learning curve, but if CircleCI would come up with such features (deployment to App Service) out of the box, it would be amazing.""There needs to be some improvement in the user interface of CircleCI.""The solution’s pricing could be better."

"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
