"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."

"It can be free for commercial use."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"GitLab could consider introducing a code-scanning tool. Purchasing such tools from external markets can incur charges, which might not be favorable. Integrating these features into GitLab would streamline the pipeline and make it more convenient for users."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."

"The documentation is confusing."
"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."
"It could use better integration with development tools."
"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."
"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."
