"The integration is a good feature."
"It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."
"The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow."
"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."
"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"For us, Gitlab's most valuable feature is the integration with Cypress. We're using Cypress as an automation tool, so we're using GitLab as a tool for running in parallel."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"The deployment fails sometimes."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"The documentation is confusing."
"In the free version, when a merge request is raised, there is no way to enforce certain rules. We can't enforce that this merge request must be reviewed or approved by two or three people in the team before it is pushed to the master branch. That's why we are exploring using some agents."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
