Pros
One of the market leaders. You can bet it is going to be here for at least next few years and your one off implementation and deployment of this service will do for long time without ay significant change and it will serve you reliably.
Cons
For some not_totaly_standartd deployments or integrations it is (as many similar products) a bit tricky. But thanks to the huge community you can find some solution for pretty much everything quite quickly.

Pros
Responsive support, much faster builds now I can easily parallelize things with Workflows 2.0.
Very easily integrated with GitHub and other code-quality services.
Able to build in macOS if necessary.
Cons
I would like the ability to specify resources available to a machine, fine to charge more for this feature.
I would like to use Workflows 2.0 with macOS builds.
It would also be great to be able to specify which docker images are cached on all executors, fine to charge more for this feature.

Does the job, but lacking in features
Reviewed on 2022/05/06
Pros
It's relatively simple to get started. I like that you can pick between Docker and VMs. It integrates with GitHub nicely.
Cons
The Docker in Docker paradigm doesn't work for us since we use containers. We end up using VMs anyways. I think the configuration language is not that great to use and can quickly get unwieldy for larger CI workflows (especially when repeating jobs with different parameters).
There are also outages at least once a quarter.

Pros
- Is integrated with several tools like slack
- Configure a project is simple and quick, and most of the cases once you have done this, you will not need to log in into the platform. You will have build going in a couple of hours.
- I have it running in several project and works really well.
Cons
- Pricing could be a little bit better I guess or have a better free plan for beginners, I don't think any cons of using CircleCI actually.

It's quick, easy to set up, and I like it. There are some usability fixes that are needed around user maangement, but otherwise, it's great! And works with all of the languages I use out of the box, and with no configuration.
Pros
CircleCI was great and easy to set up. It allows me to see what's going on with all of my builds quickly and in real time.
Cons
The user management is not very good. I have 5 contributors to a repo, and I can only add two of them as users. I can't even add users that aren't a contributor to the repo. My boss, my QA people, and my PMs can't see anything that's happening in the platform.
