Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team.""The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security.""We have seen a couple of merge requests or pull requests raised in GitLab. I see the interface, the way it shows the difference between the two source codes, that it is easy for anyone to do the review and then accept the request; the pull request is the valuable feature.""It scales well.""The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly.""The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute.""The most valuable feature of GitLab is its convenience. I am able to trace back most of my changes up to a far distance in time and it helps me to analyze and see the older version of the code.""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."

Cons
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation.""The integration and storage capabilities could be better.""I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands.""GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package.""It can be free for commercial use.""I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important.""The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics.""The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."

More GitLab Cons →

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs.""JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images.""Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."
  • "The price is okay."
  • "It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
  • "Its price is fine. It is on the cheaper side and not expensive. You have to pay additionally for GitLab CI/CD minutes. Initially, we used the free version. When we ran out of GitLab minutes, we migrated to the paid version."
  • "It is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."
  • "I don't mind the price because I use the free version."
  • "We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
  • "The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."
