Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"GitLab's best feature is Actions."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"The scalability is good."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."
"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."
"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 open-source version."
"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."
"GitLab is an open-source solution."
"GitLab is comparatively expensive, but it provides value because it's feature-rich."
"There are different licensing options available, including a free limited-user license."
"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
