We performed a comparison between GitLab and Synopsys Defensics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Fuzz Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"The stability is good."
"As a developer, this solution is useful as a repository holder because most of the POC projects that we have are on GitLab."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline."
"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"It is scalable."
"We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues."
"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs."
"Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."
"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."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"The solution could be faster."
"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported."
"Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."
"Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful."
