Digital.ai Deploy vs GitLab comparison

"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is vendor-agnostic and it has a file called Manifest, which makes it possible for developers, ops people, and system admins to cooperate."

"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."

"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."

"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."

"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."

"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security."

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

"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."

"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."

"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."

"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."

"While it is a flexible product and provides a means of integrating with virtually anything, the company should make a better effort to keep up with new platform integrations."

"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."

"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."

"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."

"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."

"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."

"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."

"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."

"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."

"As GitLab is not perfect, what needs improvement in the solution is the Wiki feature of the groups or the repertories because currently, it's not searchable by default. You'll need an indexing service such as Elasticsearch to make it searchable, and that requires too much work, so for me, it's the main feature that should be improved in GitLab. In the next version of the solution, from the top of my head, the documentation could be improved. Besides the Wiki, it would be good if there's documentation that would be automatically generated based on the code repository. In other words, there should be some tutorials from GitLab for developers in the next release."

"There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."

"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."

"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."

"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."

"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."

"GitLab is an open-source solution."

"We are using the free version of GitLab."

"GitLab is comparatively expensive, but it provides value because it's feature-rich."

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

"In total, I believe we have more than 300 licenses spread over about 100 users, though I can't comment on the costs involved."
