GitHub Actions vs GitLab comparison

"The most valuable feature of GitHub Actions is the ability to automate various tasks, such as backups and deployments, to ease the development workflow."

"The level of automation achievable is really good. So, the custom workflow creation and Marketplace Actions improved our project's efficiency."

"We can trigger files manually or automate processes."

"It improves efficiency as it involves no downtime and is managed by GitHub."

"GitHub Actions helps automate the deployment process, eliminating manual copying and testing, which saves time and minimizes errors."

"It offers numerous built-in features for pipeline management, release management, and even work item tracking on boards, which makes it a versatile tool that seamlessly integrates with hardware and facilitates optimization."

"It is a very stable solution as we have not faced any issues."

"Creating workflows in YAML format is straightforward and easy to comprehend. This includes both understanding and writing workflows. Additionally, the downloading aspect for third-party instances can also be easily done. It's worth noting that vulnerability analysis and similar tasks should be part of our automation through data workflows. Furthermore, we can break down our processes step by step, starting from building, then moving on to analysis, testing, and finally deploying in production and the clear environment. All of these tasks can be efficiently managed within this platform."

"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."

"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."

"The stability is good."

"If you want to maintain your issues in GitLab and raise your book of work and features, then GitLab is a great tool for collaboration and integration with code deployment and CICD pipelines."

"They incorporate new features every September, and they have introduced their own code editor and AI features."

"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."

"It is very useful for reviews. We are using branch merging operations and full reset operations. It is also very useful for merging our code and tracking another branch. The graph diagrams of Git are very useful. Its interface is straightforward and not too complex for us."

"A user friendly solution."

"Sometimes it is quite complex to commit code from our local system to the GitHub repository; creating a folder in GitHub can be tedious."

"The primary area for improvement I see is in artifact management, especially for saving screenshots or videos from failed tests or data-driven actions. Currently, the configuration for saving these artifacts is complex."

"There could be more integration options with different platforms."

"GitHub Actions lacks a feature for automating the build process for mobile applications."

"My company would want to see some AI features in the tool as it can add value to the product."

"The solution's integration capabilities and UI are areas of concern where improvement is required to make the product more user-friendly."

"The main challenge I've experienced is with integration, particularly uploading to OneDrive, which was more complex compared to Google Drive or AWS S3 bucket."

"Sometimes incremental steps should be taken during deployment instead of trying to execute all tasks simultaneously, particularly when dealing with AWS EKS clusters and Helm charts."

"It could have more security integrations and the ability to check the vulnerability of the code. I don't think it is a responsibility of Gitlab, but it would be nice to have more options to integrate with."

"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."

"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."

"GitLab could consider introducing a code-scanning tool. Purchasing such tools from external markets can incur charges, which might not be favorable. Integrating these features into GitLab would streamline the pipeline and make it more convenient for users."

"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."

"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."

"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."

"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."

"Price-wise, GitHub Actions is okay. If I want to use the product's advanced features, then I need to pay the licensing charges for the solution."

"The cost for GitHub Actions may be around $45 dollars per user."

"The product is slightly more expensive than some alternatives."

"It's low-priced. Not high, but definitely low."

"It is free and open platform, so I would rate it 1 out of 10."

"The tool's price is okay and reasonable."

"Regarding cost, as an enterprise, we negotiate our license and expenses, so I can't provide a specific rating for that."

"For our basic usage, we didn't have to pay."

"This product is not very expensive but the price can be better."

"We are using the open-source version."

"The solution is free."

"GitLab is comparatively expensive, but it provides value because it's feature-rich."

"GitLab is cheap."

"The solution is based on a licensing model that includes technical support and is paid annually."

"The open-source version is very good and the commercial version is reasonably priced."

"GitLab is an open-source solution."
