Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Google and others in Build Automation."The integration is a good feature."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The solution provides good integrations."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"It's a great toolbox where the CI/CD pipeline is the fundamental component, but there are so many other features that you can pull from, which makes it a very powerful tool. My current client is using AWS, and they can, of course, use AWS CodePipeline, but GitLab is much more mature than that, and it also gives you the freedom to decide to go to another platform or have a multi-cloud strategy and things like that. That freedom for me is also very valuable."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"Expand features to match other tools such as a static code analysis tool so third-party integrations are not required."
"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."
