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 maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"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."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"A user friendly solution."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
