I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…
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

"It's very flexible."
"GitLab's best feature is Actions."
"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance."
"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."
"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."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"The solution's most valuable features are pipelines."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"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."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
"Even if I say I want some improvement, they will say it is already planned in the first quarter, second quarter, or third quarter. That said, most everything is quite improved already, and they're improving even further still."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab."
"We are using the free version of GitLab."
"GitLab is a free solution to use."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."
"We are using the open-source version."
"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."
"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
