Featured Reviews

Gaurav Chandel - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Aman Singla - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to setup with reliable outputs and good reliability
It is easy to set up the solution. We can actually modify it using script also. It's pretty easy to link it with our in-house toolchain with the Polyspace configuration settings. If we have small amounts of data, it's quick and you can set it up within ten to 15 minutes. However, depending on the size of the data and the variables, it could take a while since you have to provide a range for all variables. If you have, for example, 500 variables, you'll be configuring a lot. However, the input extremes can be fed using an Excel file or some other format.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They incorporate new features every September, and they have introduced their own code editor and AI features."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."
"The outputs are very reliable."
"Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool."
"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences."
"The product detects memory corruptions."
 

Cons

"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"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."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"The pricing has been substantially increased, which is a major concern."
"I'd like the data to be taken from any format."
"The tool has some stability issues."
"Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes."
"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."
"Automation could be a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently using the open-source version."
"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."
"This is an open-source solution."
"The initial setup cost is excellent and you can add the premium features later."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"GitLab's pricing is good compared to others on the market."
"My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab."
"The price is okay."
"We use the paid version."
