Customer reviews
End-to-end AI pipelines have gained robust CI/CD automation and collaborative version control
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for GitLab is as a version control system that we are using. Currently, I am working on an end-to-end AI pipeline, and I have deployed my whole code using GitLab so that all things are utilized for version control for my back-end AI and front-end team. We merge all the Git codes into GitLab, and my CI/CD, issue tracking, security, and monitoring is maintained inside GitLab.
We try to collaborate with all the teams together on different features. Within GitLab, we are not utilizing Jenkins or any product management tools because it perfectly renders all the information. It maintains the version control system, which is very helpful to containerize and deploy all services, allowing us to have everything together in production.
What is most valuable?
CI/CD is the most important feature that I am utilizing with version control and security as well, and all things are very useful inside GitLab.
CI/CD helps my workflow by allowing me to integrate any new changes or any new version that I want to deploy in the whole ML lifecycle, which I implement through new integration phases and identify updates in the deployment scripts. We generate YAML manifest files, add dependencies, and deploy them utilizing GitLab's versioning system, identifying any security patches that need to be added or incidents that need to be managed, triggering the workflow. We try to manage the perfect scenarios.
GitLab has impacted my organization positively in terms of version control systems, providing many smart features and reducing the sharing of dependencies compared to what we used to do previously. It has helped the organization merge and collaborate within the team on the level of code accesses and identify how actionable insights can be inputted within the whole pipelining mechanisms, allowing us to easily perform actions on CI/CD. My organization has adapted this and resulted in more productive work.
What needs improvement?
There are many improvements that GitLab can implement, such as addressing the issue of caching. Currently, when I have multiple tasks to merge or attempt multiple merges, the CI/CD and overall GitLab processes get slower. Implementing caching to allow parallel jobs to execute together would optimize the solution and enhance efficiency.
The UI is not user-friendly compared to how GitHub Actions operates. If we could customize the UI interface or have options for plugin-based mechanisms, that would be more suitable and increase DevOps in enterprises.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GitLab for around three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
GitLab is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
GitLab's scalability is good, allowing multiple employees to work together, change code collectively, and perform all kinds of CI/CD regardless of impacts from bug fixes.
How are customer service and support?
I have not reached out to customer support currently, but email support is very good, although I have not interacted with any call-based mechanisms or voice call systems.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was using GitHub and GitHub Actions prior to this. While GitHub Actions provided good CI/CD operations, GitLab has added smart features, such as a graphical view of branches in version control mechanisms and tracking changes made by authors at specified times. Everything is maintained perfectly in my codebase, and I can easily track buggy code, identifying issues with excellent visibility. This visibility compared to GitHub and GitHub Actions is what led me to switch to GitLab.
How was the initial setup?
The setup cost for GitLab is minimal since the team has its own minimal resource balancing. The costing falls into an intermediate stage and is impactful across all results within the team. It allows for CI/CD stages and addition of security patches smoothly, with only a slight charge that is not significant. Everything related to scripting, processing, management, and deployment works fine.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with increased collaboration within the team resulting in more productive work and a reduction in time based on prior experiences, which emphasizes GitLab's usefulness.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The setup cost for GitLab is minimal since the team has its own minimal resource balancing. The costing falls into an intermediate stage and is impactful across all results within the team. It allows for CI/CD stages and addition of security patches smoothly, with only a slight charge that is not significant. Everything related to scripting, processing, management, and deployment works fine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing GitLab, I evaluated options like GitLens and Bitbucket . I have tried those tools prior to this project, but ultimately, I chose GitLab as the foremost solution for version control mechanisms.
What other advice do I have?
Since using GitLab, we have experienced fewer errors in identification, and any incidents coming out at the production level can be maintained to facilitate complete results, ensuring that collaboration works fine and deployment scripts remain easily executable, maintaining all services perfectly. Any impactful scripts work fine, whether making minor or major version updates.
I recommend GitLab if you are looking for a good graph-based solution or any impeccable solution for version mechanisms. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.
Great Automation Tools with Easy Pipelines and Strong Documentation
All-in-One Platform That Streamlines Workflow—Even on the Free Tier
And if you’re at a company that has to prove it follows strict rules (compliance), GitLab automatically tracks what you need. You don’t have to manually cobble together an audit trail.
Reliable, User-Friendly GitLab with Powerful Automation and Integrations
Fine-Grained Permissions and Self-Hosting Make GitLab a Win
GitLab makes it much easier for our development teams to collaborate across multiple projects. With CI/CD pipelines in place, code is automatically checked, built, and deployed, which has saved our teams a significant amount of time and reduced manual steps in our release process. We have set up our own self hosted runners for the CI/CD pipelines and the documentation on setting up the auto scaling for this is very good.
there is also a fully automated API which we have used for automation and various other tasks.
