GitLab vs Spinnaker comparison

"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."

"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."

"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."

"It is scalable."

"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."

"The solution is stable."

"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."

"I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus."

"The most valuable feature of Spinnaker is the rollback."

"There is a good community around the product that makes troubleshooting possible."

"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."

"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."

"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."

"It could have more security integrations and the ability to check the vulnerability of the code. I don't think it is a responsibility of Gitlab, but it would be nice to have more options to integrate with."

"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."

"The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code."

"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."

"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."

"Log-wise, we need to understand why something has failed so that we can understand and try to fix it the moment the issue is reported. The solution could use more robust monitoring."

"Spinnaker's configuration setup is too complicated and should be made easy."

"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."

"I'm not sure if they have some kind of discount. I've been negotiating with them on prices before, and I believe they weren't too happy to give discounts, but list prices are $19 per user, per month for Premium and $99 per user, per month for Ultimate. So, the difference between Premium and Ultimate is a bit bigger, and in most companies, you need to build some type of business case."

"We are currently using the open-source version."

"There are different licensing options available, including a free limited-user license."

"GitLab is an open-source solution."

"This product is not very expensive but the price can be better."

"The solution is based on a licensing model that includes technical support and is paid annually."

"In terms of the pricing for GitLab, on a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being cheap, I'm rating pricing for the solution a four. It could still be cheaper because right now, my company has a small team, and sometimes it's difficult to use a paid product for a small team. You'd hope the team will grow and scale, but currently, you're paying a high license fee for a small team. I'm referring to the GitLab license that has premium features and will give you all features. This can be a problem for management to approve the high price of the license for a team this small."

"Spinnaker is a free-to-use, open-source solution."
