We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"I would say our headwind, or our time to market, is reduced considerably. We get more consistent results out of it, because you write one time and once it's automated you expect it to behave the same way every time. And it cut down a lot of re-work for us."
"Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
