We performed a comparison between GitLab and Synopsys Defensics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Fuzz Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."
"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 kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"The most important features of GitLab for us are issue management and all the CI/CD tools. Another aspect that I love about GitLab is the UI."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"CI/CD and GitLab scanning are the most valuable features."
"As a developer, this solution is useful as a repository holder because most of the POC projects that we have are on GitLab."
"Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."
"We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues."
"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs."
"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 pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"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."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."
"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported."
"Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful."
