Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"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."
"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the automatic merging of code."
"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."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"There was a problem with the build environment when we were looking at developing iOS applications. iOS build require Mac machines and there are no Mac machines provided by GitLab in their cloud. So to build for mobile iOS application, we needed to use our own Mac machine within our own infrastructure. If GitLab were to provide a feature such that an iOS application could also be built through GitLab directly, that would be great."
"The pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
