How does Microsoft Azure DevOps compare with GitLab?

Microsoft Azure DevOps may be better for an organization that already uses other Microsoft products and services and needs a comprehensive DevOps solution with a broad range of features.

GitLab may be a better choice for organizations looking for an open-source and free DevOps solution that is reportedly more straightforward to set up and manage.
