Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning.""GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos.""Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with.""This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers.""The solution is stable.""It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience.""The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly.""Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."

"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass.""The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."

Cons
"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required.""I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira.""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.""Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good.""I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important.""The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly.""It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain.""The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."
  • "The price is okay."
  • "It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
  • "Its price is fine. It is on the cheaper side and not expensive. You have to pay additionally for GitLab CI/CD minutes. Initially, we used the free version. When we ran out of GitLab minutes, we migrated to the paid version."
  • "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 don't mind the price because I use the free version."
  • "We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
  • "The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."
