GitLab's customer support is generally well-regarded, with users appreciating community forums, fast responses for paid versions, and third-party assistance.
I have interacted with architects for some advice during the implementation, and they were prompt in their response.
I have had meetings where they taught me, explained things, and provided guidance for starting from scratch.
We have rarely needed to escalate issues to technical support since GitLab usually runs seamlessly.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Adobe ColdFusion is a reliable and stable platform, ideal for web application development with consistent performance under heavy workloads.
Sentiment score
8.3
GitLab is highly stable, with minimal glitches, reliable performance under pressure, and user satisfaction ratings of 7-10.
I have not encountered any performance or stability issues with GitLab so far.
 

Room For Improvement

Adobe ColdFusion needs performance, documentation, stability, cost, security, and integration improvements to meet modern industry standards.
GitLab requires better AWS integration, UI, documentation, project management, security, and reduced pricing with enhanced leadership dashboards and testing tools.
It would be beneficial to have a user-friendly interface for setting up these configurations, instead of just writing YAML files.
The UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.
GitLab is a great tool for developers, it lacks project planner features.
 

Setup Cost

<p>Adobe ColdFusion pricing starts at $2,499 for Standard and $9,499 for Enterprise, varying with features, support, and licensing.</p>
GitLab offers free and paid plans, with enterprise options valued for features but sometimes seen as expensive.
The pricing of GitLab is reasonable, aligning with what I consider to be average compared to competitors.
The price is high, and it limits user accessibility.
Even when working in other small organizations, we opted for GitLab as it was cost-efficient.
 

Valuable Features

Adobe ColdFusion excels in rapid development, database integration, and security, with high performance and comprehensive documentation praised by users.
GitLab excels in CI/CD with user-friendly interfaces, seamless integration, automation, and scalability, enhancing productivity and collaboration.
As we implement automated testing and DevSecOps, it speeds up the process by forty to sixty percent.
The Ultimate version offers enhanced features for security scanning through DAST and SAST analysis, which have greatly benefitted our project workflow.
The feature I appreciate the most about GitLab is its ease of use and compatibility, which allows for straightforward building and deployment processes.

An easy-to-setup tool that can be used to automate repetitive tasks
Currently, they have some legacy connectors with different tools, and they are creating native connectors. For example, AEM was only using HTTP or SMTP connections. However, now, AEM also has a native connector. In Adobe Workfront, if we use those connectors, we can push data through them. Previously there were no in-built connectors for Power BI and the dashboard. Now I see that connectors are there in Adobe ColdFusion though I have not used them yet. Previously when I was trying to create some data, it was very difficult to get real-time data from Workfront. I would like to say that it could be an area of improvement if it was possible to get real-time data, and we can create some connectors like the ones on Power BI or Tableau. Now we have the option with which we can schedule a time, like one or two hours, five times a day, allowing us to push the data with Power BI or an external tool. However, with real-time data, it's really difficult now. For ColdFusion, since I do not have that much expertise, I would say that whatever issue I face, I will resolve them. For that, I would like to get real-time data using the tool. Hence, I would like to get a real-time dashboard all the time.

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.
