Have managed internal projects efficiently but face challenges with user interface and navigation
When discussing improvements for GitLab Premium, the main area is the GUI. GitHub's GUI is very good, offering many collaboration options and the ability to customize dashboards. GitHub's look and feel is superior, but GitLab Premium's dashboard is very simple. Regarding capabilities lacking in GitLab Premium, the main concern is the GUI. For example, in GitHub, there is a right side profile where settings can be directly accessed, and there is a direct section for developer mode with clear segregation. In GitLab Premium, when accessing users, confusion sometimes arises between root user and main user. There is an option for groups, but it is not direct. When clicking on groups, it goes to another section where groups must be found. This hierarchy could be more straightforward and direct. The biggest drawbacks of GitLab Premium are GUI and configuration. GUI is the primary concern, but other aspects are good.

Secure multi-cloud connectivity has simplified VPN deployment and unified firewall control
The top three features that VNS3 offers are encrypted overlay networking, centralized firewall plus routing policies across clouds, and multi-cloud connectivity without native peering complexity, along with VPN orchestration and key management via controller APIs. Additional valuable features in VNS3 include containerized deployment capabilities, cloud infrastructure and DevOps tooling integration, and fine-grained traffic steering without route controls. VNS3 improved secure connectivity across multi-cloud and on-premises environments without complex native peering. It reduced VPN setup time, standardized firewall and routing policies, and provided clear encrypted traffic paths for compliance and MSP tenant isolation. Using VNS3, I saw forty to sixty percent faster VPN deployment versus native cloud plus firewall configurations, a thirty percent reduction in network change tickets due to centralized policy control, and lower infrastructure costs by avoiding dedicated hardware VPN appliances per customer.
