"The product's most valuable features are security scan, dependency scan, and cost-effectiveness."
"The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution as it can handle new applications along with the analysis part."
"It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports."
"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."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its convenience. I am able to trace back most of my changes up to a far distance in time and it helps me to analyze and see the older version of the code."
"This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."
"The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish."
"It is scalable."
"We like that we can create branches and then the branches can be reviewed and you can mesh those branches back. You can independently work with your own branch, you don't need to really control the core of other people."
"There could be DST features included in the product."
"There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform."
"The report limitations are the main issue."
"The customizations are a little bit difficult."

"The deployment part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."
