We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation and GitLab 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 capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment."
"I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."
"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints."
"A user friendly solution."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."
"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."
"There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."
"There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."
"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."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
