We performed a comparison between GitLab and NowSecure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"GitLab's best feature is Actions."
"It scales well."
"We have seen a couple of merge requests or pull requests raised in GitLab. I see the interface, the way it shows the difference between the two source codes, that it is easy for anyone to do the review and then accept the request; the pull request is the valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"We'd always like to see better pricing on the product."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
