Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Microsoft, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."
"It is very useful for reviews. We are using branch merging operations and full reset operations. It is also very useful for merging our code and tracking another branch. The graph diagrams of Git are very useful. Its interface is straightforward and not too complex for us."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"It is very easy to make a software release. It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night. This new release took me five minutes."
"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"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."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"We'd always like to see better pricing on the product."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve."
"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."
"The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
