Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"It scales well."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The solution offers excellent workflows."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the various workflows."
"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"The most valuable features of the solution are case management, routing, and low-code environment."
"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."
"For as long as I have used GitLab, I haven't encountered any major limitations. However, I think that perhaps the search functionality could be better."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"UI needs improvement."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"I would like to see Pega BPM improve the user experience."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"It's called a local platform but on the other hand, it needs a lot of experience. It's not all that easy to click and plug and play. If you really want to use all the features out of this platform, you definitely need a lot of experience and a lot of training to get there."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use."
