Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline."
"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."
"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The solution's tracking capabilities helped ensure we had full visibility into planned work and scheduled work."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"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."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."
"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"Currently lacks AWS integration."
"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
