We performed a comparison between Fortify WebInspect and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
"A user friendly solution."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"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."
"It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"The scanner could be better."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
