Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline.""GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable.""GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment.""A user friendly solution.""GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team.""GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need.""The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently.""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."

"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."

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.""There is room for improvement in GitLab Agents.""Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers.""The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required.""Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict.""When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing.""We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications.""There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."

"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."
  • "The price is okay."
  • "It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
  • "Its price is fine. It is on the cheaper side and not expensive. You have to pay additionally for GitLab CI/CD minutes. Initially, we used the free version. When we ran out of GitLab minutes, we migrated to the paid version."
  • "It is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."
  • "I don't mind the price because I use the free version."
  • "We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
  • "The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."
