We performed a comparison between GitLab and Nolio Release Automation 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."The solution has an established roadmap that lays out its plans for upgrades over the next two to three years."
"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its convenience. I am able to trace back most of my changes up to a far distance in time and it helps me to analyze and see the older version of the code."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."
"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."
"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"There is room for improvement in GitLab Agents."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"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."
"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."
"For as long as I have used GitLab, I haven't encountered any major limitations. However, I think that perhaps the search functionality could be better."
"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."
"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."
"It could use better integration with development tools."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
