Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements

The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab are highly valuable. Another important feature is the single source of repository, allowing efficient repository management and source code management. GitLab provides manageability by allowing us to manage source code effectively through separate repositories. Additionally, GitLab enables the creation of individual CI/CD pipelines for each repository, making software more agile. By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.

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

"It is user-friendly, easy to use, and easy to administer."

"The solution's most valuable features are pipelines."

"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."

"The solution has an established roadmap that lays out its plans for upgrades over the next two to three years."

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

"The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline."

"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."

"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."

More GitLab pros

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

Cons

"GitLab needs to improve the CI/CD functionality because it is not compatible with Jenkins and other tools, as it is not that efficient."

"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."

"In the next release, I would like to see GitLab expand its integration capabilities to include platforms like DigitalOcean, which developers widely use for cloud infrastructure. Enhancing CI/CD automation features specifically tailored for DigitalOcean would be beneficial."

"It can be free for commercial use."

"The solution could be faster."

"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."

"GitLab's UI could be improved."

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

"This is an open-source solution."

"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."

"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."

"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."

"We are currently using the open-source version."

"The initial setup cost is excellent and you can add the premium features later."

"GitLab is cheap."

"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."

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."
