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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their CI/CD engine is very mature. It's very comprehensive and flexible, and compared to other projects, I believe that GitLab is number one right now from that perspective."

"I have had no problem with the stability of the solution."

"It's a great toolbox where the CI/CD pipeline is the fundamental component, but there are so many other features that you can pull from, which makes it a very powerful tool. My current client is using AWS, and they can, of course, use AWS CodePipeline, but GitLab is much more mature than that, and it also gives you the freedom to decide to go to another platform or have a multi-cloud strategy and things like that. That freedom for me is also very valuable."

"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."

"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its convenience. I am able to trace back most of my changes up to a far distance in time and it helps me to analyze and see the older version of the code."

"GitLab's source control is excellent."

"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."

"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."

More GitLab pros

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

Cons

"Currently, GitLab is not easy to scale because GitLab has specific deployment instructions. We deploy it on one of the VMs."

"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."

"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."

"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."

"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."

"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."

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

"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."

More GitLab cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitLab is cheap."

"The solution's standard license is paid annually. They have changed the pricing model and it used to be better. There is a free version available."

"As I work in a vast enterprise, I'm unsure about the licensing cost for GitLab. It's the management team that takes care of that."

"GitLab is a free solution to use."

"In total, I believe we have more than 300 licenses spread over about 100 users, though I can't comment on the costs involved."

"I'm not sure if they have some kind of discount. I've been negotiating with them on prices before, and I believe they weren't too happy to give discounts, but list prices are $19 per user, per month for Premium and $99 per user, per month for Ultimate. So, the difference between Premium and Ultimate is a bit bigger, and in most companies, you need to build some type of business case."

"I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."

"Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value."
