GitHub CoPilot vs GitLab comparison

"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."

"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."

"The document generation features are valuable."

"The platform's most valuable feature is detecting and suggesting variables based on the existing file context."

"The CoPilot app that you can use while creating presentations is very useful."

"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."

"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."

"The initial setup of the product is easy."

"The scalability is good."

"We like that we can create branches and then the branches can be reviewed and you can mesh those branches back. You can independently work with your own branch, you don't need to really control the core of other people."

"The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."

"CI/CD and GitLab scanning are the most valuable features."

"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."

"I have had no problem with the stability of the solution."

"We use GitLab in the new project for CI/CD, integration, and deployment."

"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."

"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."

"One drawback is that the solution sometimes suggests unwanted code, especially if I accidentally press the tab. This doesn't happen often. Sometimes it seems to understand my code, but other times it doesn't. This inconsistency is confusing."

"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."

"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."

"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."

"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."

"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."

"Technologies are always changing. Nowadays, new things like serverless computing and workload management have emerged. We have noticed a few gap items for faster service delivery. For example, we do user interface testing in the latest team and automate it using some tools. Recently, we integrated a tool with user interface testing, which can simulate a multi-user environment. So, we would like to see more integration with different platforms."

"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."

"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."

"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."

"It can be free for commercial use."

"The pricing has been substantially increased, which is a major concern."

"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."

"You need to have a good knowledge of the product in order to use it."

"The product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."

"There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."

"The product offers a free version and a paid version. Whether to choose the product's free version or paid version depends on the size of the company where it will be used."

"A personal license is priced at ten dollars per month, while a professional or enterprise license costs nineteen dollars per user, and these rates are consistent for all users."

"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."

"GitHub CoPilot's pricing is reasonable. Our licensing costs were initially monthly, but then we switched to yearly payments. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."

"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."

"My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab."

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

"GitLab is an open-source solution."

"I don't mind the price because I use the free version."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."

"GitLab is a free solution to use."

"I'm not sure if they have some kind of discount. I've been negotiating with them on prices before, and I believe they weren't too happy to give discounts, but list prices are $19 per user, per month for Premium and $99 per user, per month for Ultimate. So, the difference between Premium and Ultimate is a bit bigger, and in most companies, you need to build some type of business case."

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