We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists."
"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."
"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"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."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"A user friendly solution."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"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."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
