Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements
The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"I like that it's easy to deploy our services over GitLab. The customer support is also good with a really active community. You have a lot of support that you can get online with your stack. That is probably one of the benefits of using GitLab. It's also really fast."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"As a developer, this solution is useful as a repository holder because most of the POC projects that we have are on GitLab."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The documentation is confusing."
"It's more related to the supporting layer of features, such as issue management and issue tracking. We tend to always use, for example, Jira next to it. That doesn't mean that GitLab should build something similar to Jira because that will always have its place, but they could grow a bit in those kinds of supporting features. I see some, for example, covering ITSM on a DevOps team level, and that's one of the things that I and my current client would find really helpful. It's understandably not going to be their main focus and their core, and whenever you are with a company that needs a bit more advanced features on that specific topic, you're probably still going to integrate with another tool like Jira Service Management, for example. However, some basic features on things like that could be really helpful."
"The licensing model could be improved to be more accommodating in terms of user numbers and costs."
"Technologies are always changing. Nowadays, new things like serverless computing and workload management have emerged. We have noticed a few gap items for faster service delivery. For example, we do user interface testing in the latest team and automate it using some tools. Recently, we integrated a tool with user interface testing, which can simulate a multi-user environment. So, we would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free."
"We are using the open-source version."
"It is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."
"We are using the free version of GitLab."
"We are currently using the open-source version."
"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."
"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."
"My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab."
