Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance."
"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."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"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 documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"As GitLab is not perfect, what needs improvement in the solution is the Wiki feature of the groups or the repertories because currently, it's not searchable by default. You'll need an indexing service such as Elasticsearch to make it searchable, and that requires too much work, so for me, it's the main feature that should be improved in GitLab. In the next version of the solution, from the top of my head, the documentation could be improved. Besides the Wiki, it would be good if there's documentation that would be automatically generated based on the code repository. In other words, there should be some tutorials from GitLab for developers in the next release."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
