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."We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"The UI is colorful."
"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."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"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 documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
