Find out what your peers are saying about Synopsys, Snyk, Veracode and others in Software Composition Analysis (SCA)."It had a web interface into the reporting tools that was decent, and open source components could be reported per project and/or aggregated similar to other software composition tools."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"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."
"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."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"I found the user interface cumbersome and difficult to use."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"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."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
