Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements
The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab are highly valuable. Another important feature is the single source of repository, allowing efficient repository management and source code management. GitLab provides manageability by allowing us to manage source code effectively through separate repositories. Additionally, GitLab enables the creation of individual CI/CD pipelines for each repository, making software more agile. By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It streamlines our DevOps processes with automated CI/CD pipelines."
"The CI/CD pipeline with Helm has significantly improved deployment speed and efficiency."
"The most important features of GitLab for us are issue management and all the CI/CD tools. Another aspect that I love about GitLab is the UI."
"The most valuable aspects of GitLab are the ability to create branches, merge branches, and compare branches to resolve code conflicts."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"In our software development lifecycle, GitLab is used as a component for code repository management. We use GitLab for several projects to handle code repositories. For other software projects, we use Bitbucket, but the use case for both is very similar."
"The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
 

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"The licensing model could be improved to be more accommodating in terms of user numbers and costs."
"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."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."
"Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value."
"The solution's standard license is paid annually. They have changed the pricing model and it used to be better. There is a free version available."
"In total, I believe we have more than 300 licenses spread over about 100 users, though I can't comment on the costs involved."
"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."
"The solution is based on a licensing model that includes technical support and is paid annually."
"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
