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.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle

When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is user-friendly, easy to use, and easy to administer."

"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."

"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."

"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."

"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."

"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."

"CI/CD is valuable for me."

"It is scalable."

More GitLab pros

"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."

Cons

"Even if I say I want some improvement, they will say it is already planned in the first quarter, second quarter, or third quarter. That said, most everything is quite improved already, and they're improving even further still."

"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."

"The integration could be slightly better."

"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."

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

"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."

"It can be free for commercial use."

"I would like more Agile features in the Premium version. The Premium version should have all Agile features that exist in the Ultimate version. IBM AOM has a complete Agile implementation, but in GitLab, you only have these features if you buy the Ultimate version. It would be good if we can use these in the Premium version."

More GitLab cons

"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution."

"GitLab is cheap."

"I don't mind the price because I use the free version."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

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

"There are different licensing options available, including a free limited-user license."

"This product is not very expensive but the price can be better."

"We are using the open-source version."
