CircleCI

A very capable CI system with a lot of quality of life features

Vorteile:

CircleCI is very fast, reliable, and has a very slick UI. I like how easily it integrated with our version control system and how simply we could build useful automations into our pipeline.

Nachteile:

Although it has a decent free offering, as with most CI's, CircleCI's pricing scales quite quickly once you leave the free tier.

Simple and strong software

Kommentare: Really good, is one of the small things on the pipelines and projects, that when it uses other solution, I miss the simplicity that circleci provides

Vorteile:

I like that is really easy to use, for multiple platforms, easy solutions, good support lot of info, and if you know simple bash commands is really easy to build your own pipeline

Nachteile:

Sometimes the UI is not perfect, but their are updating it and lastly it improved a lot

Easy-to-use UI and features for configuring the CI

Kommentare: We deploy in the form of a circle. Since it was already in place when I began working here, I can't speak to how things were before, but I can say that it makes things much simpler for newcomers to the organization.

Vorteile:

Excellent customer service, and now even faster builds Workflows 2.0 makes it simple for me to parallelize tasks. Simple integration with code-quality services like GitHub. If necessary, it can be built on macOS.

Nachteile:

Nothing of significance to point out. It's a little messy with reduced resolutions if we go to a project and filter it by Branch Name. On a mobile device or a browser tab, for example. Except for that, everything else is fine.

Simple & efficient CI

Kommentare: Migrations was easy and straightforward. It works well. We were a bit startled because of the security issue they faced and we had to renew all of the secrets which was painful. Apart from that incident, we're happy. It's never been down for us (as opposed to Github).

Vorteile:

The setup of pipelines is very easy, especially with the orbs. Each pipeline is always code, so it's automatically versioned. We moved away from CodePipelines from AWS because it was too click-intensive.

Nachteile:

The permissions are simple: everything is copied from GitHub in our case. What seems at first convenient ends up quite confusing. And it's easy to get lost with security contexts. It would have been nice to be able to see who can perform what action from the Circle CI UI itself.

CircleCI - For Simple, Easy & feature rich CI/CD

Kommentare: Overall I love CircleCI UI, ease of deployment & it is feature rich. Availability & execution parameterization can be improved.

Vorteile:

Best part of circleCI is the ease of continuous delivery feature it offers, it's very easy to integrate it with GitHub too. Another pro of CircleCI over other CI/CD tool like Jenkins is the simple yet feature rich UI. For beginners or pros, this workflow management tool is pretty simple yet futuristic. It also makes running automated test cases for different branches really easy before deployment.

Nachteile:

There is room for improvement in areas where Jenkins is already winning, like skipping parts of execution stages that are not required every time new change is pushed. Another one would be the execution time, using it with terraform to run plans & eventually apply, it can take hours if your infrastructure is complex & there is no way to actually divide it in stages. Better central monitoring & dashboard for different projects can be helpful, somewhat like Jenkins shows rainy, cloudy or clear skies signifying project health.
