We performed a comparison between GitLab and NowSecure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"I like that it's easy to deploy our services over GitLab. The customer support is also good with a really active community. You have a lot of support that you can get online with your stack. That is probably one of the benefits of using GitLab. It's also really fast."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."
"I would like more Agile features in the Premium version. The Premium version should have all Agile features that exist in the Ultimate version. IBM AOM has a complete Agile implementation, but in GitLab, you only have these features if you buy the Ultimate version. It would be good if we can use these in the Premium version."
"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."
"We'd always like to see better pricing on the product."
"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."
"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."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
