Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"A user friendly solution."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."
"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"The initial setup was complex."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."
"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."
"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."
"As GitLab is not perfect, what needs improvement in the solution is the Wiki feature of the groups or the repertories because currently, it's not searchable by default. You'll need an indexing service such as Elasticsearch to make it searchable, and that requires too much work, so for me, it's the main feature that should be improved in GitLab. In the next version of the solution, from the top of my head, the documentation could be improved. Besides the Wiki, it would be good if there's documentation that would be automatically generated based on the code repository. In other words, there should be some tutorials from GitLab for developers in the next release."
