Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup of the product is easy."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."
"It's a great toolbox where the CI/CD pipeline is the fundamental component, but there are so many other features that you can pull from, which makes it a very powerful tool. My current client is using AWS, and they can, of course, use AWS CodePipeline, but GitLab is much more mature than that, and it also gives you the freedom to decide to go to another platform or have a multi-cloud strategy and things like that. That freedom for me is also very valuable."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"Merge conflicts and repository maintenance could improve. If there is someone new to the system they would not know if there is a conflict."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."
"In the free version, when a merge request is raised, there is no way to enforce certain rules. We can't enforce that this merge request must be reviewed or approved by two or three people in the team before it is pushed to the master branch. That's why we are exploring using some agents."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
