I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements
The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab are highly valuable. Another important feature is the single source of repository, allowing efficient repository management and source code management. GitLab provides manageability by allowing us to manage source code effectively through separate repositories. Additionally, GitLab enables the creation of individual CI/CD pipelines for each repository, making software more agile. By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"A user friendly solution."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"Git merging allows us to track the details of how and who has done what; this is the best feature which is useful for all companies."
"We use GitLab in the new project for CI/CD, integration, and deployment."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"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."
"GitLab's source control is excellent."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"The solution could be faster."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"We'd always like to see better pricing on the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."
"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
"GitLab's pricing is good compared to others on the market."
"The price is okay."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"GitLab is an open-source solution."
