We performed a comparison between GitLab and JIRA Portfolio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"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."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"The solution is very stable."
"The best features of JIRA are its flexibility and configurability, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs."
"What I like about the product is its extensive features, particularly the wide set of attributes for tracking issues. Jira Portfolio allows us to track not only the overall project but also specific components within it. This is beneficial for all stakeholders, including developers and business owners. For example, business stakeholders can track all issues, regardless of status."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Jira are the dashboards where we see all the features lined up with the release dates in the portfolio view, it is very good."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"The documentation is very well done."
"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."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"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."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"The initial setup could use improvement."
"The integration needs to be done with different tools."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
