AI-driven workflows have transformed our end-to-end development and collaboration processes
The built-in CI/CD integration in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lacking. We are still depending on other packages. If GitLab [Private Offer Only] had some CI/CD integration internally, it would be beneficial. Because for CI/CD integration now, we are currently doing it with the direct server side. I think it is not that much integrated with the current scenarios of AI, that is AI agent-based or assistant-based coding patterns. Some more improvement is required in GitLab [Private Offer Only] for CI/CD integration along with AI platforms. AI integration is basically what we need, especially on the CI/CD side of GitLab [Private Offer Only]. The code assistant, such as a cloud code assistant, is making things with GitLab [Private Offer Only], but it is conventional. They are pulling the code and sending the thing. I think they can do some more integration, seamless integration with GitLab [Private Offer Only]. AI is consuming GitLab [Private Offer Only] with the older style. If AI were fully pluggable in GitLab [Private Offer Only], it would be beneficial. I think we could get some more time reduction, especially on the testing side and the code testing side.

Building AI-assisted disposable research tools has transformed how I automate data gathering
I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement. Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

"I have seen measurable benefits in terms of time saving, resource saving, and efficiency improvements with GitLab [Private Offer Only]."
"GitLab [Private Offer Only]'s SSL protocol adheres to all security protocols; it's pretty much good according to security and everything, and it's accessible only inside my organization's network."
"With GitLab [Private Offer Only], I think you can save on time to market because it is a good tool to handle different branch strategies and manage pipelines."
"The top feature that makes me use GitHub and GitLab [Private Offer Only] is that we can have CI/CD integrated, we can also maintain versions and get pull requests, and these things are also very easy to implement, which is why we use it."
"GitLab [Private Offer Only] acts as a repository management tool where I can store all my codes, especially my source code, and it helps us to create our own pipelines, automate our jobs through CI/CD, configure our own servers, enhance security in our codes, and improve our performance."
"With GitLab [Private Offer Only] CI/CD, I automate code validations, build processes, and deployments, while also having control over which changes promote to different environments to focus more on application development rather than deployment tasks."
"We have not faced any issues with GitLab [Private Offer Only]. It has been stable throughout our use."
"Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms."
"Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features."
"Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022."
"The benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice."
 

Cons

"I would appreciate the benefits of the analytics features, but they are not available in our account or subscription plan."
"GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lagging a bit in this regard."
"One area that could be improved in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is the CI/CD pipeline configuration and debugging when multiple environments, conditional rules, and complex dependencies are involved, as the YAML configuration can become difficult to maintain."
"Unexpected delays happen often, although it has never failed us."
"The built-in CI/CD integration in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lacking. We are still depending on other packages."
"There are disadvantages in GitLab [Private Offer Only]; we sometimes find challenges with lengthy CI/CD pipeline processes and the missing integration of AI, which, if implemented, could considerably speed up the deployment process."
"Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability."
"Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use."
"One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored."
"Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code."
