We performed a comparison between GitHub CoPilot and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"We like that we can create branches and then the branches can be reviewed and you can mesh those branches back. You can independently work with your own branch, you don't need to really control the core of other people."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."
"We have seen a couple of merge requests or pull requests raised in GitLab. I see the interface, the way it shows the difference between the two source codes, that it is easy for anyone to do the review and then accept the request; the pull request is the valuable feature."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"The solution has an established roadmap that lays out its plans for upgrades over the next two to three years."
"It scales well."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"In the free version, when a merge request is raised, there is no way to enforce certain rules. We can't enforce that this merge request must be reviewed or approved by two or three people in the team before it is pushed to the master branch. That's why we are exploring using some agents."
"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."
"There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
