Gaurav Chandel - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration
There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files. Improvements could be made regarding size management and file partitioning. Also, the UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of GitLab is impressive."
"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."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"Of all available products, it was the easiest to use and easy to install."
"I recommend GitLab for DevOps engineers."
"For us, Gitlab's most valuable feature is the integration with Cypress. We're using Cypress as an automation tool, so we're using GitLab as a tool for running in parallel."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
 

Cons

"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."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"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."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"In the next release, I would like to see GitLab expand its integration capabilities to include platforms like DigitalOcean, which developers widely use for cloud infrastructure. Enhancing CI/CD automation features specifically tailored for DigitalOcean would be beneficial."
"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."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't mind the price because I use the free version."
"The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."
"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"There are different licensing options available, including a free limited-user license."
"GitLab is comparatively expensive, but it provides value because it's feature-rich."
"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
