Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people."
"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."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"We would like to have easier tutorials. Their tutorials are too technical for a user to understand. They should be more detailed but less technical."
"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."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"The pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."
"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
