Considered Both Products	Buildkite Verified User Anonymous Chose Buildkite Buildkite was easy to use and setup while comparing Circle CI or Github. Additionally Buildkite was very affordable for teams while comparing github plans Incentivized Helpful?	Travis CI Oscar Morrison Software Engineer Chose Travis CI Similar features. [Travis CI has a] Simpler interface and setup. Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Brewster Principal Software Engineer Chose Travis CI Jenkins is probably the leading choice for automation and has loads of features and a large community behind it, but it can be overkill for many projects. It also has more of a web 1.0 look and interface. CircleCI is another similar big competitor, but cannot compete with Travis … Incentivized Helpful? Eduardo Sampaio CTO Chose Travis CI There are a few other options out there, CircleCI, Codeship and Wrecker would be a few good ones I can also recommend, each one has its particularity but I believe Travis has the best interface and flexibility of all of them. I'd recommend trying them all and seeing which one … Incentivized Helpful? Mathias Fonseca CTO Chose Travis CI Jenkins is much more complicated to configure and start using. Although, one you have done that, it's extremely powerful and full of features. Maybe many more than Travis CI. As per TeamCity, I would never go back to using it. It's also complicated to configure but it is not … Incentivized Helpful? Yasmany Cubela Medina Development Team Lead Chose Travis CI TravisCI is the first choice for open source projects. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Patrick Westropp Software Engineer Chose Travis CI Much easier to navigate web interface. Setup and configuration is much easier and straightforward via the yml config file. Incentivized Helpful? Jonathan Yu, P.Eng. Software Engineer - OpenShift Chose Travis CI There are a number of alternatives to Travis CI, but Travis remains the most popular, since it was one of the first to show up. It has a lot of examples, support for building dozens of languages, and good documentation. Significant portions of the system are open source, so you … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Buildkite	Travis CI
Likelihood to Recommend	I would definitely recommend Buildkite for anyone who needs a decent CI solution for 50+ on AWS instance without paying huge amount for AWS Build and code deploy tools. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	TravisCI is suited for workflows involving typical software development but unfortunately I think the software needs more improvement to be up to date with current development systems and TravisCI hasn't been improving much in that space in terms of integrations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	CI Solution Notification Configuration Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's simple and easy to get started (it can detect the language being used based on build configuration files like a Maven pom.xml). It's free (as in beer) for open source projects. It has a responsive staff (you can file issues on GitHub to ask for new languages or packages to be supported, and the turnaround time isn't too bad for the free offering). The user interface is beautiful and easy-to-use, including features like live-tailing in-progress builds. It supports specifying private environment variables and encrypted credentials, so that you can safely automate deployments (for example, pushing built docker images to DockerHub). Incentivized Jonathan Yu Software Engineer - OpenShift Read full review
Cons	Integration can be improved Cost reporting can be impoved Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Travis CI is a fairly mature platform now, and most, if not all of the common complaints have been improved. This includes documentation and logs with color support. Incentivized Ryan Brewster Principal Software Engineer Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	TravisCI hasn't had much changes made to its software and has thus fallen behind compared to many other CI/CD applications out there. I can only give it a 5 because it does what it is supposed to do but lacks product innovation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	After the private equity firm had bought this company the innovation and support has really gone downhill a lot. I am not a fan that they have gutted the software trying to make money from it and put innovation and product development second. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Faster Build time Increased productivity Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It saves you in infrastructure and setup costs, since running a server and installing and maintaining Jenkins can be a hassle. Incentivized Eduardo Sampaio CTO Read full review
