Pros
"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Pros →

"It scales well.""The scalability is good.""GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues.""The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline.""I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software.""The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish.""Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place.""GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."

Cons
"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Cons →

"It's more related to the supporting layer of features, such as issue management and issue tracking. We tend to always use, for example, Jira next to it. That doesn't mean that GitLab should build something similar to Jira because that will always have its place, but they could grow a bit in those kinds of supporting features. I see some, for example, covering ITSM on a DevOps team level, and that's one of the things that I and my current client would find really helpful. It's understandably not going to be their main focus and their core, and whenever you are with a company that needs a bit more advanced features on that specific topic, you're probably still going to integrate with another tool like Jira Service Management, for example. However, some basic features on things like that could be really helpful.""It could have more security integrations and the ability to check the vulnerability of the code. I don't think it is a responsibility of Gitlab, but it would be nice to have more options to integrate with.""We'd always like to see better pricing on the product.""It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution.""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 solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option.""GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness.""GitLab's UI could be improved."
