We performed a comparison between GitLab and NowSecure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."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 useful for reviews. We are using branch merging operations and full reset operations. It is also very useful for merging our code and tracking another branch. The graph diagrams of Git are very useful. Its interface is straightforward and not too complex for us."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"A user friendly solution."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."
"Reporting could be improved."
"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."
"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"The documentation is confusing."
"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
