	CircleCI
Considered Both Products	CircleCI Verified User Chose CircleCI Based on the cost for feature set that we needed we went with CircleCI. There were also more people on our team that knew how to use CircleCI already compared to other products which made it a preferred choice for ramp up. Other products were not as robust and quick to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI CircleCI is the only product we've used. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI We use CircleCI when we need a good, independent CI/CD provider in an existing workflow. That said, we've begun investing more heavily in GitHub actions as it's closer to where our code is stored. CircleCI is a feature of a workflow, and can be filled by many different service … Incentivized Helpful? Sagiv Frankel Senior Software Engineer in Engineering at WeWork (Internet, 10,001+ employees) Chose CircleCI CircleCI is a sass product which means you don't need to maintain your own servers. This can also be a negative as you are dependent on their service. This also means you can't ssh into a machine to see what went wrong like you can with Jenkins. However for most users this … Incentivized Helpful? Javier Cardoso Architecture Tech Leader in Engineering at MercadoLibre (Internet, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose CircleCI Because the Travis CI features are not very good, it has a lot of problems with concurrency and the uptime of the on-cloud solution was the worst we have ever tried. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI CircleCI is still being developed and worked on continually while TravisCI is not. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI CircleCI seemed to have a quicker setup than other similar products, with a good integration with GitHub repos. Projects are quick and easy to set up within the UI, and workflows can then be created off the back of those fairly intuitively. Clever interpretation of commit … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI CircleCI is the company that is innovating compared to the other ones. I think it's a great piece of software compared to other open source options that don't have as much functionality and improved capability over time. Incentivized Helpful? Dillon Welch Director Of Engineering in Engineering at Tempest, Inc. (Consumer Services, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI While the UI on CircleCI is not my favorite, it's leagues better than Travis CI. I really like Heroku CI much better, but the functionality is much more limited there. If Heroku CI had the same functionality as CircleCI, I probably wouldn't use CircleCI. Incentivized Helpful? John Grosjean DevOps Engineer in Engineering at Avizia (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose CircleCI Jenkins and Teamcity both have additional features that maybe you require, but they are also a lot more work to get set up and working. There's a much longer learning curve to getting these configured for a simple build. They're not hosted, so you have to maintain the … Incentivized Helpful? Gabriel Samaroo Senior Software Engineer in Engineering at Rocketrip (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI CircleCI does a lot of what we need it to do; however, I believe Jenkins is a better Continuous Integration tool. Jenkins has more capabilities and integrations. In addition, Jenkins is a much more widely used tool, which means more developers are familiar with it and have … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CircleCI Not having to manage / deal with a Jenkins server is fantastic. I don't have much personally against Jenkins. I've set up and run a Jenkins server before. It's just complexity that doesn't really have much to do with the business beyond getting our software to our customers. My … Incentivized Helpful? Yasmany Cubela Medina Scrum Master And Development Team Lead in Information Technology at iLike IT Solutions (Sports, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI Since CircleCI gave us its infrastructure we don't have to worry about servers, provisioning and maintenance. Also CircleCI provides us great features to increase speed of builds by adding more containers to the build. Jenkins is the best open source alternative but it requires … Incentivized Helpful? Valeri Karpov Platform Tech Lead in Engineering at Booster Fuels (Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI Jenkins is usually self-hosted, Travis CI's infrastructure is largely unreliable (lots of tests time out for no discernable reason), and Semaphore encourages you to configure your CI/CD from a web UI. We like CircleCI because its hosted, our tests run largely as expected on … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Crawford Co-Founder & CEO at Fieldbook (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose CircleCI It was our CTO who did the evaluation, not me, but as I recall other services weren't as parallelizable. We knew we wanted to run on many containers simultaneously for fast test results. Incentivized Helpful? Gregory Ratner Co-founder, VP of Engineering in Engineering at Troops (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI For us it really came down to CricleCI being the fastest and simples tool to get started with. The GitHub integration is slick and seamless and the scripting config file allowed us to configure our entire build system, including tests, in less than a day. It's very light weight … Incentivized Helpful? Paul Hepworth VP Engineering in Engineering at UserTesting.com (Internet, 201-500 employees) Chose CircleCI Circle was the first CI with simple setup, great documentation, and tight integration with GitHub. Using Jenkins was too much maintenance and overhead, TeamCity was limited in how we could customize it and run concurrent builds, TravisCI was not available for private repos when … Incentivized Helpful? Ben McClure Head of Development Technologies in Research & Development at Top Floor Technologies (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI Travis has full YML configuration in areas where CircleCI is slightly lacking still, which is great, but CircleCI offers more features, settings, and potential performance. Codeship is simpler to use, you can use it entirely from their UI without modifying your Git repository at … Incentivized Helpful? Dmitry Sadovnychyi Software Engineer in Engineering at LawInsider.com (Legal Services, 1-10 employees) Chose CircleCI Travis CI is great for open source projects – it's completely free, but CircleCI offers some support for closed projects as well. CircleCI has cheaper pricing plans, and you are able to customize them as much as you want. At Travis CI you can select only a predefined amount of … Incentivized Helpful? Micah Hausler System Engineer in Engineering at Skuid (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose CircleCI The biggest downside to CircleCI is that it doesn't support parameterized builds, that is testing your code against language version X and Y, or framework version A and B. Beyond that, it is really a great product. Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Shell Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer in Information Technology at Pinpoint Software, Inc. (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose CircleCI I had used Travis CI in some of my open source projects. However, it was too expensive for us so I looked for an alternative that was in our budget. Scrutinizer is also very useful, but also out of our budget. When we get larger I could see myself using Scrutinizer for quality … Incentivized Helpful? Austin Riendeau Application Engineer in Engineering at Bitly (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose CircleCI I think these three tools are just as good as the other except that Travis CI supports mobile a lot better but price wise, CircleCI is the best that I have found and is supports the need for a startup. For a long while, CircleCI had Docker support before Codeship but now, Codesh… Incentivized Helpful? Ken Yee Android Architect in Engineering at KAYAK (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose CircleCI We looked at various others, but the clincher for us was really iOS build support and CircleCi was one of the few that had it.
