We performed a comparison between GitLab and GoCD based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"It scales well."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance."
"The most important features of GitLab for us are issue management and all the CI/CD tools. Another aspect that I love about GitLab is the UI."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"The UI is colorful."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."
"The pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
