Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists.""The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure.""You can design your workflows for your needs.""Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations.""It can support very complex environments and dependencies.""The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it.""The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment.""I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."

"CI/CD and GitLab scanning are the most valuable features.""The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints.""GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable.""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.""I have had no problem with the stability of the solution.""We like that we can create branches and then the branches can be reviewed and you can mesh those branches back. You can independently work with your own branch, you don't need to really control the core of other people.""GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment.""Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."

Cons
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources.""The stability of the solution can be improved.""There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them.""There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system.""At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2.""GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones.""Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement.""The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."

"In the free version, when a merge request is raised, there is no way to enforce certain rules. We can't enforce that this merge request must be reviewed or approved by two or three people in the team before it is pushed to the master branch. That's why we are exploring using some agents.""I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard.""GitLab could consider introducing a code-scanning tool. Purchasing such tools from external markets can incur charges, which might not be favorable. Integrating these features into GitLab would streamline the pipeline and make it more convenient for users.""Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good.""GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker.""GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff.""The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required.""The integration could be slightly better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."

  • "Customers often complain about the price."
  • More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation 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."
