Pros Remove the manual work in running tests before merging code. Also it's scalable to multiple branches and developers. And it give viability on how the build is broken if any issues arise. Cons 1\. A bit slow comparing to running the tests on local machine. 2. Have a verbose limitation of 4MB. Review Source Manuela M. Full Stack Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust platform" June 4, 2021 4.0 I have used it for deployments, software integration, and testing. Pros You can deploy and make integrated development environments with this. This facilitates testing and integration of software. Cons It is complex to set up. You have to read the documentation that is not too easy to follow. You could get better results following other tutorials. Review Source Matthew B. Software Architect Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice Slack Integrations" May 3, 2022 5.0 Pros I loved integrating Travis into our workflow in Slack. We received notifications from Travis when there are failures in unit tests during the run of our CI pipeline. It appears for us to see and acknowledge. It’s little things like this that keep the team updated in an agile environment. Cons Like all CI/CD tools configurations are painful. It is made easy with lots of documentation but once it’s setup it runs and runs well. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Azure](https://www.capterra.com/p/16365/Azure/) Reason for choosing Travis CI It was free to us as we were a non profit Review Source Wechuli P. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wonderful CI for Open-Source Projects" April 7, 2020 5.0 Travis CI is a great CI/CD tool that caters to most of my needs if am working for an open-source project. Pros \- Comprehensive documentation for almost all popular languages and deployment environments - Built-in plugins to cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud and Azure - Free for all open-source projects - Fairly easy to use and configure for almost all CI/CD scenarios. Cons \- It can be tricky to integrate with other online repositories other than GitHub such as Bitbucket. - You need to pay to support private builds. Review Source NG Nathan G. Teacher Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Poor customer support" February 2, 2021 5.0 It was great until the pricing model changed and customer service disappeared. Pros It's easy to integrate into GitHub and gives students near instant feedback about their code. Cons I had a problem with the non-existent customer support. On 1/16 I wrote customer support to get my class organization "blessed" as an educational account. I followed up on 1/26. With no response and credits disappearing, I'll be moving this class and future classes to GitLabs for student work. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Reason for choosing Travis CI I heard great things from coworkers. Review Source JD Jiří D. Senior Software Quality Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My OpenSource projects got accustomed to free CI; Travis is no longer that" July 9, 2021 4.0 I feel disappointed by the pricing change Pros Established service; Easy to configure; Supports macOS and AArch64 Linux Cons Pricing structure for free and Open Source projects Alternatives considered [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/)[CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[Azure DevOps](https://www.capterra.com/p/170547/VSTS-DevOps/) Reason for choosing Travis CI It was one of the first services of this kind that was available. Afterwards, I never had a sufficient reason to make a switch. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Programador Gis Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complex testing tool" October 11, 2018 5.0 Pros The free version have a good result and usability Cons Somtimes it's hard to configure the test suite Review Source TG Tim G. Managing Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wolf Software Travis Review" February 1, 2021 5.0 We have had a very positive result with Travis and we implement it on ALL of out projects from simple link checkers to fill docker build pipelines, it gives us single point of reference and consistency in all of our projects. Pros One of the key things was the direct integration with github making the running of jobs seamless to the developers. The wide variety of tools and language support are also very important. Cons The config files can be tricky to write when trying to adopt new features. Review Source David T. Fullstack developer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the better CI tools out there" September 1, 2020 5.0 Pros Very easy to set up, and out of the box gives me a lot of control over my deployments. Cons It's more expensive compared to competing tools for smaller companies. Review Source JR Jacob R. Senior Engineer Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does not integrate with Github any more" April 26, 2021 1.0 Does not work, no documentation of how team permissions are supposed to work. Pros At first Travis CI was an easy-to-use way to run the test suite of our Ruby On Rails app when branches were pushed to GitHub. Then it locked me out of accessing the build results and just does not work any more. Cons Github integration broke so I can no longer access the service, only 1 developer on my team can access it. Review Source JM James M. Founding Member (my own consulting company) Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not really sure what I'm doing still" February 8, 2021 4.0 Pros Travis CI is great when it works. I can develop, pass my local tests, then push to github, etc and Travis CI will make sure that my tests pass on a variety of different virtual machines. That is great. I also like the rainbow flags. Cons I am perpetually confused when things break. On the good side there is fairly extensive documentation. However, a lot of times it is still chewing gum and duct tape. Big sticking point is interacting with services like coverage and code quality tools. I also never quite figured out what the deal was when they switched from Travis.org for open source accounts to travis.com. The transition was super janky, and I still have projects that I think are in the old system, despite trying to bulk transfer all of them. Review Source TW Thomas W. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product - Pricing is insane for someone on a single team" February 2, 2021 5.0 Good experience - got hooked on the free trial, but it's time to move on as its costing an arm & a leg. Pros I really like Travis CI, creating .travis.yml files is easy enough & I love the interface for seeing my build progress. That said I'll be moving off of this platform very shortly. Cons The cost is insane - Azure DevOps offers pipelines for free, my AWS sites (5 of them) cost less to host than my Travis CI subscription, AWS has a DevOps implementation that is about $15/mo - even if Travis CI was at $20-$25/mo I would consider it as a solution. Alternatives considered [AWS Config](https://www.capterra.com/p/205398/AWS-Config/)[Azure DevOps Server](https://www.capterra.com/p/177262/Team-Foundation-Server/) Reason for choosing Travis CI I was working through a tutorial on AWS & this was offered as the CI / CD solution, since the trial was free I opted for it. Now that my project is in production though this pricing is my highest cost service & needs to be addressed. Review Source Olivier JM M. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Continuous Integration tool " April 29, 2021 5.0 I still use Travis CI in my opensource projects and it hasn't disappointed Pros Travis It is free for opensource projects, beyond that Travis CI is pretty easy to setup just a few lines in the and you are good to go, it works with most third-party tools and allows you to do your custom jobs by running scripts in your CI configs Cons I noticed that the caching doesn't work in most of the times and this might cause the jobs to take a bit of sometime. Review Source PB Patryk B. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recommendation" February 1, 2021 5.0 Pros It's easy to use and configure and also a nice user experience. Cons It's expensive in comparison to other solutions Review Source Giorgio R. Product Line Engineer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good platform" August 16, 2021 5.0 Pros I use this tool for my home and personal activities (home automation). It is very helpful to analyze software and identify problems in script/source code. Very easy to configure and integrate. Cons In general I'm very satisfied. I have nothing to complain about. Review Source Suzyo N. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "favorite auto builder" April 15, 2019 5.0 it auto builds my software's making it easy and convenient for me to start testing immediately Pros its easy to use, super fast and automated Cons i failed to understand the documentation first time i started using it Review Source JN Jared N. COO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used to be the gold standard, what happened?" October 15, 2021 2.0 Pros \- YML configuration file - Familiar UI - Easy to get to "hello world" stage Cons \- AWFUL support - High price, slow builds - Confusing billing options Review Source SR Simon R. CTO Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy with limit" July 6, 2021 4.0 Globally is good but it's necessary to use two CI software. Pros Easy to run and find some example No breaking change Cons 1 hour limit for iOS build. You must use two software ... Not a lot of new feature Review Source Karen G. Android Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best CI for OpenSource" September 18, 2019 4.0 I am using Travis for my open source project and I am very satisfied with this product. Pros Free for open source repositories. Easy to integrate status checks for pull requests. One time integration. Cons Sometimes build time takes too long. User interface is not the best but it is ok when you have integrated it into your GitHub repository(because you never go there anymore :) ) Review Source BH Brett H. Online team leade3r Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review" September 15, 2021 5.0 Pros I love the ease of integration with CI workflow for github and heroku Cons Slow to pick up hooks from builds on occasion Review Source Andrii S. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Travis CI is a good CI platform for open source" March 7, 2021 5.0 Good, having CI is really handy. Pros It's easy to set up and requires almost no maintenance. Cons Had to wait a bit before upgrading to .net 5 because there was no build environment available for it at first. Review Source OB Oz B. Senior Data Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Travis meets my needs" March 29, 2021 4.0 We use to travis to build our API and deploy it. Various websites as well. Have used the product to integrate with Veracode. Pros Travis integrates with github, and slack. Cons Sometimes the scripting of yaml files is agonizing. Review Source TR Tom R. self Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not much to say because it does everything I like. " March 30, 2021 5.0 Pros It does exactly what I need, and gets out of the way. Cons I can't think of anything I'd improve. Perhaps a regular install of Python 3.8 and 3.9 without the matrix thing? Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of top CI/CD platform for code automation" December 4, 2022 4.0 Pros The configuration file for creating workflow Cons The cost of software is a wall for some business Review Source BHB Bodo Hugo B. Site Reliability / DevOps Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Deploy with Confidence thanks to Automated Testing" April 29, 2021 5.0 I mostly achieved to set up the tests and intregrate them seamlessly with the GitHub Version Control System. Pros The Integration with the Version Control Software helped me to iterate the development easier and with more confidence while being sure not have left over open ends. The detailed test output helps me to understand very well how the software runs at the test. Cons I would love more generic tests that would help to build test for non standard implementations: https://travis-ci.com/github/bodo-hugo-barwich/hash-lists I would love also be able to choose different testing environments besides Ubuntu, like Debian or Centos. Spin up additional containers for testing distributed systems. Legacy Perl 5.10 Support was dropped without documenting it correctly. The test returned OK when it actually failed to install the Perl 5.10 environment. In the Project Description it should alert correctly which versions are supported.
