Our application responds faster and uses global data effectively
The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge. Since the data is on the edge, it makes the application more responsive worldwide, thus lowering the loading time and increasing user engagement. The scalability of Cloudflare Workers is also impressive, as it can handle spikes of traffic with ease. Cloudflare Workers also contributes to the application being faster and geographically distributed.
Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"If you want to maintain your issues in GitLab and raise your book of work and features, then GitLab is a great tool for collaboration and integration with code deployment and CICD pipelines."
"This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."
"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."
"Continuous integration with deployment is very powerful, which is a significant reason for migrating from TFS to GitLab."
"It's a great toolbox where the CI/CD pipeline is the fundamental component, but there are so many other features that you can pull from, which makes it a very powerful tool. My current client is using AWS, and they can, of course, use AWS CodePipeline, but GitLab is much more mature than that, and it also gives you the freedom to decide to go to another platform or have a multi-cloud strategy and things like that. That freedom for me is also very valuable."
"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."
"In our software development lifecycle, GitLab is used as a component for code repository management. We use GitLab for several projects to handle code repositories. For other software projects, we use Bitbucket, but the use case for both is very similar."
 

Cons

"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."
"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."
"It has fewer options, and its UI is not so user-friendly."
"Expand features to match other tools such as a static code analysis tool so third-party integrations are not required."
"There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
"GitLab should enhance its GitOps capability as they are currently using FluxCD, however, Argo CD is better and offers more features. GitLab should work on improving their user interface for GitOps as it is lagging behind."
"The pricing has been substantially increased, which is a major concern."
"The solution could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"As I work in a vast enterprise, I'm unsure about the licensing cost for GitLab. It's the management team that takes care of that."
"The initial setup cost is excellent and you can add the premium features later."
"Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value."
"I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."
"The solution is based on a licensing model that includes technical support and is paid annually."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."
"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."
