We performed a comparison between GitLab and Harness based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"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 being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"We like that we can create branches and then the branches can be reviewed and you can mesh those branches back. You can independently work with your own branch, you don't need to really control the core of other people."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security."
"The scalability is good."
"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"We would like to have easier tutorials. Their tutorials are too technical for a user to understand. They should be more detailed but less technical."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"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."
"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."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
