We performed a comparison between GitLab and Nolio Release Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."
"The most valuable functionality of GitLab, for me, is the DevOps. Besides the normal source control based on Git, I find the Auto DevOps features most important in the solution."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"As a developer, this solution is useful as a repository holder because most of the POC projects that we have are on GitLab."
"It scales well."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."
"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."
"I would like more Agile features in the Premium version. The Premium version should have all Agile features that exist in the Ultimate version. IBM AOM has a complete Agile implementation, but in GitLab, you only have these features if you buy the Ultimate version. It would be good if we can use these in the Premium version."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
"It could use better integration with development tools."
"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."
"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."
"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."
