Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements

The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab ( /products/gitlab-reviews ) 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

"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."

"I have had no problem with the stability of the solution."

"The solution's most valuable features are pipelines."

"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."

"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."

"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."

"GitLab's source control is excellent."

"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the automatic merging of code."

More GitLab pros

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see GitLab expand its integration capabilities to include platforms like DigitalOcean, which developers widely use for cloud infrastructure. Enhancing CI/CD automation features specifically tailored for DigitalOcean would be beneficial."

"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."

"GitLab should work on improving their user interface for GitOps as it is lagging behind."

"The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code."

"GitLab can improve its user interface to make conflict resolution more user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in GitLab Agents."

"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."

"There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files."

More GitLab cons

"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 is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."

"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."

"I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."

"As I work in a vast enterprise, I'm unsure about the licensing cost for GitLab. It's the management team that takes care of that."

"The solution is based on a licensing model that includes technical support and is paid annually."

"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."

"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."

"We are using the free version of GitLab."

More GitLab pricing and cost advice

"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."
