Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"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."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"As a developer, this solution is useful as a repository holder because most of the POC projects that we have are on GitLab."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the automatic merging of code."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"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."
"It could have more security integrations and the ability to check the vulnerability of the code. I don't think it is a responsibility of Gitlab, but it would be nice to have more options to integrate with."
