Gaurav Chandel

AWS DevOps/ Site Reliability Engineer at Tata Consultancy

Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration

There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files. Improvements could be made regarding size management and file partitioning. Also, the UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.

DevOps Team Leader at Elbit Systems Ltd

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company

We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good."

"GitLab's source control is excellent."

"CI/CD is valuable for me."

"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."

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

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

"The CI/CD pipeline with Helm has significantly improved deployment speed and efficiency."

"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."

More GitLab pros

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

Cons

"I would like to have some features to support peer review."

"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."

"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."

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

"We would like to have easier tutorials. Their tutorials are too technical for a user to understand. They should be more detailed but less technical."

"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."

"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."

"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."

More GitLab cons

"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."

"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."

"GitLab is an open-source solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"In total, I believe we have more than 300 licenses spread over about 100 users, though I can't comment on the costs involved."

"I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."

"In terms of the pricing for GitLab, on a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being cheap, I'm rating pricing for the solution a four. It could still be cheaper because right now, my company has a small team, and sometimes it's difficult to use a paid product for a small team. You'd hope the team will grow and scale, but currently, you're paying a high license fee for a small team. I'm referring to the GitLab license that has premium features and will give you all features. This can be a problem for management to approve the high price of the license for a team this small."

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

More GitLab pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
