We performed a comparison between GitLab and GoCD based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"The UI is colorful."
"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
